Here's a 1983 #148 which was cut up by Cameron. So we now know there's only 149 cars for 1983.

Cut up and scraped. No more car, parted it out last year.
He has a 1982 MSE and a 1984 MSE with the 400SB engine.
Check this site out and read. Then go to the home page of the site and you can see 1982 and 1984 MSE cars.

what is an MSE car?

EDIT: from the site above
"In the late 70's two brothers got together and started modifying production TAs for customers much as SLP is currently doing for the WS6 Ram Air cars. The finished cars were dubbed Macho TAs and were numbered since they were a limited production car every year. The company formed by the two brothers was called DKM which simply stood for Dennis and Kyle Mecham. The initials of the brothers names. The program was continued beginning in 1982 (after a one-year absence in 1981) but the name of the company was changed as well as the designation given to its cars. MR stands for Mecham's Racing and was the new name of the company. MSE stands for Motor Sports Edition (as seen on the door of this car) and was the new name given to the cars that had been modified by MR."

My #53 has the engine out and will be getting rebuilt soon due to a bad cam. I'm thinking about doing the "Git Kit" when it goes back together.
