I can purchase this car for 3,500.00 is it worth it? 46,000 miles.
305 HO 5 speed and 373 posi rear.

 

I was watching that auction. Id say that was a very fair price. Good luck w/ the car.

 

Well, that's cool. I just purchased it for 3,400.00. It's hard to fine info on this car. I would have thought there would have been more websites on the MSE cars.
Thanks for the response.

 

i had one but it was too far gone so i took al the good stuff off it and sent it to scrap . but i have a website that has pics of more mses , and i have some info if you need some info on it . Pm me .

What number did you scrap? Also I seen that web site already. Do you know of any more sites?

 

Gret car, great price. The ground effects look like the ones on the 83 Daytona Car.

The 103 on the spoiler, I dont think MSE put that there. Do you have the dash plaque?

 

The number should be on the spoiler. Picture of inside the car.

 

i scrapped number 89 for the 1982 year .

 

hmm... what makes these cars so special?

 

Maybe try to get ahold of Mecham. Buddy of mine has a 79 Macho TA and he called him back in the early 90's. Said he could get anything he wanted for the car.

Do a search for him or both Dennis and Kyle, info should be out there since they made a 4th gen also.

 

Drove the car home Sunday with no problems. Car drive great. Also called Dennis Tuesday to get some new decals. All paperwork was still in great shape also. This car cost 20,000.00 New in 1983 and the person I got it from paid 13,000.00 in 1986.

 

...excuse my ignorance but what is an MSE, like what modifications do these have over standard birds?

 

Doesnt sound like a bad deal to me....

Is it as clean in person as the pics?

I was watching that auction also, from the looks of that car I would say the odometer has rolled. Must be 146,000 miles, but very restoreable.

 

I don't think it has 146,000 miles. The car set for 12year and no one drove it. There isn't any rust at all under the car or in the fender wells, not even starting to rust. The only problem with the seats is the bottom of the drivers seat. Passenger and back seats are mint. The car drives like new no raddles or noises. Carpet is great and under the hood is all orginal, no rust.

 

How about getting us some pics of that thing?

Inside and out :-)

Not like we get to see the odd ball ones every day, well that and the damned thing is growing on me lol

If it is 46,000 miles than that's great! Mine has 70,000 on it now. The guy I bought mine from had owned it since '85. Mine is also red and silver #53-R(recaro seats). Welcome to the MSE club!!

 

Hey, I have # 50 for 1982, not a bad car, interior is a little rough, but, other than that, its nice!

 

This is the paperwork you got from MSE Motor Sports when getting the car new. It details what the car got as you had options.

 

i scanned it, but couldnt find any engine modifications... hmmpf..

 

The engine mods were not listed in the paperwork as that would void the factory warranty.
