This 1978 Macho #199 Turbo car:
Built in September of 1978 -see original docs
Purchased October 1978 from Mecham Pontiac Dealership in Glendale Arizona by Ken Martindale of Salt Lake City, tah
I am the 3rd owner since then and have known all owners. The color was changed from Red/Black to Black/Gold when red paint started to fade in about 2005.
Interior is original with original Recaro Seats
Headliner is sagging and original Fosgate stereo system is missing.
I have the original Engine from Mecham with original turbo setup. She has a built 400 engine with 1967 670 Heads and Ram Air 4 cam. I also have a near-new Complete H.O. Racing Turbo Setup from 1978 that was used for less than 1000 miles that will be a perfect replacement for the original setup. I have a lot of the original turbo setup also.
This Trans Am is Ultra Rare ! Each component was a special order from Mecham to create a high top speed Trans Am. She has 2:56 rear gears
