1980 Macho Trans Am #5 of 20 owner: Dr. Dan Graham An extremely rare Turbo Macho Trans Am. Dan writes:      "Jimmy, here is the current pic of the above car that I bought about a year ago off of Rich Franco. The car was reunited with the original 1980 numbered plate supplied by Cameron Holeman. I'll send more pics as I start to restore the interior, the exterior is very nice." Thanks, Dr. Dan Graham

My name is Aaron Moore, I am the President of Pontiacs of Bakersfield. I own the Macho Turbo No. 7.  I have found in my research in talking to Dennis Mecham that my 1980 DKM  (Dennis & Kyle Meacham) Macho Turbo #7 was 7 of 20 built in 1980. This Trans Am was found in a junk yard with one flat tire and sun damage to paint and upholstery. The engine is a 301 Turbo Charged Pontiac, and a His and Hers transmission."

1982 MR MSE Trans Am #34 owner: Lance Schaefer Lance writes:      "For the Summer I have a set of polished 16x8 formula wheels on 245/50/16 indy 500s. The car has an open element on top of the stock LG4. The car was repained in 200, and the rear quarters and doors were repainted during the summer. The stock 200C 3 speed auto remains in place. It has the 3:73 rear from Mecham, the bigger sway bars, poly bushings in the sway bars, now the car has the Eibach pro kit, it has 1 5/8 inch ceramic coated hooker 2055 headers, a 3 inch ceramic coated y-pipe to match, a ceramic coated cutout, 3" Catco cat, and a Hooker catback system. The front discs were replaced, along with the calipers, pads, and stainless steel brake lines were installed. It ran a 15.9 with the cutout uncapped, but the car was needed new plugs, wires, and a cap. The car needs a new floor pan, and right now it overheats a bit, may be a lean condition, or something similar. I may get an electric cutout soon enough. It helped 2 tenths when it was uncapped."

1982 MR MSE Trans Am #48 owner: Cameron Holeman Cameron owns this TA and quite and few others in this section. Cameron writes:      "82 - #48R. This car is an original car with only 35K miles. Originally from California. The "R" in the number and on the center console plaque is for red. In 1982 MSE's were red or white. According to Dennis Mecham less than 50 were red. Red cars got all of the external mods but no motor or suspension mods. The white cars were loaded with the engine and suspension mods. #48 has the following options: 305/ 4-speed Super T10 Recaro seats Emblems Rear wing Front wing Special wheels and emblems Special steering wheel and emblem I have added the following to the car: Strut tower brace GM factory wonder bar steering brace NOS koni shocks at all four corners Thanks for posting all of my pictures.

1982 MR MSE Trans Am #153 owner: Keith Hanner Keith writes:      "This is a car I came across while looking for an early model firebird to fix up and enjoy, only problem with this project car was that it was in such great shape, I hardly had to do a thing to it.  This MSE has spent many years tucked away in a barn in Arkansas, owned by a truck driver who said she didn't have the time to take care of or enjoy the car.  It has 22,150 original miles, original paint, original everything.  I admittedly know next to nothing about this car and had never seen or even heard of the MSE before coming across this one.  My ambition was to get myself a firebird in fair shape with T-tops for a more exciting commute, but I couldn't pass this up when it was offered to me.  Would love to hear from firebird enthusiast with knowledge or interest in the MSE."
