Mecham spoiler? 500LE
Hello 
I was cruisin thru the yards and i found this interesting firebird. It is a 1984 and says 500LE on the doors. Is this factory? If so what is this package all about?
Also it had a cool spoiler which looks like a mecham trans am. Is this a mecham wing ?
Thanks in advance.
Rick

Re: Mecham spoiler? 500LE
Hi Simo.
Thanks for that informative info. . Especially the pic. So this looks similar to a mecham spoiler but i take it its not ?
that key chain is awsome. The 500 LE was beat. They did not take care of that interior.
What was so special about the cars?
Did they have the air intake ? I forgot to look?

Re: Mecham spoiler? 500LE
That 500LE spoiler is KINDA similar...
The Mecham is more like the stock GTA wing, but with a bit if s "dish" contour in the top, creating a bowl-like shape. As well as it being a bit wider & reaching farther back.
If you see a good pic of one, you'll realize just how not-similar that 500LE one is.

Re: Mecham spoiler? 500LE
They were available with the V6 or V8-LG4.
Each was numbered out of 500.
No Turbo Doomed Hood.
It was basically a special S/E.......
The picture is of the Mecham spoiler from Dennis's Site.
There is a 1983 version in my town that I see once in a while.

Glenn Duensing's brother has two of these spoilers available if anyone wants one. He is in Monrovia.
Glenn died Monday and we spent all day yesterday going through the parts.
I will be here through Monday if you are interested, thanks!

Re: Mecham spoiler? 500LE
Where would you find a mecham spoiler? I like it a great deal and would be less work than what I had in mind for a 4th gen style modded to look squared as to match the third gen styling.

Re: Mecham spoiler? 500LE
I bet http://www.mechamperformance.com/ has them, ya think? 

Sorry, that was stupid of me. I hope that that answer was supposed to be sarcastic as I deserved that one.
