Strange that it has the GTR Firebird plaque, has the car had the bumper, rear deck/spoiler ect. changed to look like a TA?

mecham is not a car, its just an after market hood for the T/A .... blackbird is a car, its a dealer car from carl black some where in PA, you can change your WS6 hood to a mecham hood, or you could look on ebay,

i personally saw 2 blackbirds on there last month but they are expensive and hard to find. other sourses are autotrader. carmax just do a google or ask. com search

The Mecham was far more than just an aftermarket hood, it is an aftermarket conversion simmilar to the Saleen Mustang. My Mecham was bought brand new from Bob Moore Pontiac here local with the following Mecham options. This was pretty mutch the standard package, its amazing the options you could have ordered new on a Mecham.

Pro dyno high performance MTTP exhaust.
Mecham aluminum 7.5" power oval exhaust tips.
Mecham 4-port extractor hood.
Mecham rear spoiler.
Pro performance springs F&R.
373 rear gear ratio.
Hotchkiss engine bay brace.
Energy suspension poly susp. bushings.
B/M ripper shifter.
Mecham alloy wheels.
dash plaque with production number 4.

I would compare it to the SLP dual/dual, I changed mine out for a 3" true dual set up to better complement the engine combo.

That would be a mutch better exhaust system than what mine came with.
Keep in mind also that mine is an original 98 Mecham car, they could have started using a different manufacturer for there exhaust since then?
