I've never heard of mecham either, but judging by the mods he has listed I would be very surprised if he didn't well over 20 large for it. He says something about complete overhaul though.. and that always scares me.. but he has receipts.

That hood and that spoiler really make it look slick though, pretty nice car if you ask me.

Mecham goes way back. They built/build some really nice looking TA's

Why is there a boost guage mounted when the car is n/a??? Seems a little strange to me

I was looking into getting a Mecham hood...but that TA on the of the cleaner Birds they modded.

I think that car can pull in some money...if everything checks out. 15K?

[Christopherrr]

dang y'all post fast!

15k? I would kill myself if that's all I could get for that car. With a rebuilt engine (22k miles) and new drive train with all the documentation plus the fact he has pretty expensive upgrades it just doesn't make sense to me if he gives it away for under 20k. And even that would be a steal IMO.

Okay, you're right...I didn't take time to read. I'd kill myself too if I only got 15K. If I had the money, I'd drop 20K+ for it easy...I love the hood!

I am not sure the car is a Mecham car. I get the feeling that the hood and rear spoiler are. My gut tells me its not a full Mecham tuned car.

[Injuneer]

Agree..... Mecham hood and spoiler does not a "Mecham" make.

Also curious.... how do you make 550HP with 28# injectors? Does the 550HP include the "never used" N2O system? Appears to be an NOS 5177 dry kit, so it still needs the injectors to deliver the fuel.

[wood]

I'm sure the body is mecham, but He says the drivetrain and engine are all rebuilt/replaced.. so he is probley throwing the mecham out there anyway because of the hood/spoiler/rims and whatever else is mecham stuff.

So with all the upgrades he has he still wouldn't have 550hp without nos? Ouch horsepower is expensive.

[soCalTA]

I'd say he is totally misrepresenting. It is not a Mecham tuned car and if he was honest he would take it out of the title. Someone who doesn't know any better will think they are getting a Mecham tuned car at a discount. Mecham never touched that car. I don't see Mechan badges on the sides, rear or see the production number anywhere. Based on the powertrain options I don't see that they offer NOS and as Fred pointed out 26# injectors wont get you all that far in the horsepower game.

[thomas]

Well, he did mention that he had motor work done to it. If its mecham or someone elso I dont know but heres what he said is done to it and 550hp? Dont knnow if this will get it there either.
