Re: 1985 Mecham Racing Macho TA #4

This one was a hard bird to catch. The very rare and under loved 80s Macho TA. 1 of roughly 2X made in 85. This car is #4. The only one I have ever seen in Maroon. The car has had a long life. But I'll bring it back. Verified and signed by Dennis Mecham himself. Took years of effort, and long nights searching. But my work is done. I finally can truly say I have a complete 82-86 Mecham Racing TA collection (Year wise).

Congrats. A little diamond in the rough. You buy it straight from the man himself?

Nope. I bought it from a buddy of mine who found it. He actually test drove it back in the day. He bought it, fixed a few things and got it checked out by Dennis. After that was all said and done we decided on a price. Car needs a good bit of love but he did alot of the hard work getting it verified.

Agreed. Even in their most basic form they really fixed alot of issues the cars had. Really helped them reach a higher potential.
