I feel like these cars do not get enough attention, so I thought I would share. I have a few others but this is the newest one to my collection. As the title states it's a real 1983 Mecham racing Trans Am #123. O.E from GM it was a 5 Speed L69/Non-WS6 with Rear Disc Car. Kinda an oddball of options but I feel it was ordered this way to save money as it does have all the Mecham racing suspension goodies. I have some plans for it but Mostly just going to clean up the engine bay, and enjoy it. My first real L69 car.

 

 

I always like seeing the Mecham cars, yet they get little respect/attention in third gens but ppl go crazy for the second gens.

 

i like the mecham cars but i'm preferable to the 82-84 birds anyway.
i actually have an original mecham rear spoiler that i'll be installing on my build. can't wait to get it on and see how it looks.

 

 

Some Documents that came with the car

 

I Just found one of these on marketplace and even knowing I dont need any more cars, it looked good and 2K - he said already had a pending sale
whew saves a "discussion" with the wife
I honestly dont know much about them so I'll follow along on this

 

I know I bought it

 

cool now I can watch along instead of figure out where It'd be parked and where I'd be sleeping. I know they started these back in the bandit days and had a friend had a 4th gen Mecham T/A that had a bad day with a guard rail but really dont know whet they did to these cars as far as upgrades please enlighten us all
sorry there's no eating popcorn emoji to put here

"I can stop any time I want" LOL, I used to say that about smoking, it's easy to quit, done it a million times! It will be 2 years in November!!

 

Spotted at Thirdgen Fest 2022

 

Super cool find. What have you done to the car?

 

I swapped out the standard seats it had for PMDs and that's about it. It is a real 1983 L69 but I added the duel intake as they did not come with one. Birds didn't get the duel until 85. Also the electric fan wiring was cut for some reason so I rigged up a temporary standalone fan relay harness just to drive this one a bit to get a feel for it. Needs front control arm bushings but I'm too wrapped up right now with other things to get to it.
