98 Mecham T/A FS, 422CI M6 550Rwhp NA OKC. For those of you not familiar with the Mecham name, Dennis and Kyle Mecham own Mecham design performance in Glendale Arizona and have been modifying Trans am's and Camaro's for racing and street use since the mid 70's. In 1998 Mecham performance rolled out a special edition Trans am called the Mecham T/A. In standard form the Mecham T/a performance levels are elevated in every catagory from improved handling, quicker acceleration, effective aerodynamics and striking appearance.
This one is the number 4 car of only 14 Mecham T/A's built in 98. The car was ordered by Bob howard Pontiac by a forward thinking general sales manager by the name of Brendon Langren. I have the original window sticker as well as the Mecham dealer display sheet and a written letter of authenticity from Dennis Mecham. The instrument cluster has also been autographed by Dennis Mecham. I am the third owner of the car, I bought it from the second owner who bought the car in mid 98 from a local dealer who specialized in older muscle cars. The car now shows 37k on the odometer "approx. 3000 miles on engine" and has been garaged since it was new. The interior still looks like brand new with absolutely zero wear on the seats. It has also never been smoked in and still smells like brand new leather inside. The exterior is in exellent shape as well with a couple of very minor dings "too slight to capture in picture" in the quarter panels that could be easily be pushed out by paintless dent repair. The headlight doors have some rock chips and the front bumper cover has some slight pitting as well.
The car now has a 422 CI re sleeved stock block with CNC ported AFR 225
heads. The engine consist of a Cola light 4340 4" stroker crank, Lunati Pro billet ultra light 6.125" rods, Comp R lifters, custom 259/267 @50 Comp camshaft, Ross forged pistons 11.1 comp, Roll master timing chain, ARP studs and ASP underdrive crank pulley, Fast 90mm intake/NW 90mm throttle body/Kooks 1.7/8. The trans is unmodified T56 with the Mecham installed two piece B/M ripper shifter and Exedy hyper series twin disk clutch. ACPT Carbon fiber drive shaft, Mosier 12 bolt/33 spline, Eaton posi with 800 lb springs/411 gears. LG motorsports tubular torque arm, LG tubular aluminum double adjustable LCA's and adjustable panhard rod. Wolfe bolt in 6 point roll cage and sub frame connectors.
The car runs on premium pump gas and made 550.81 Rwhp and 504.34 Rwtq on a dyno jet chassis dyno with no power adders through the hooker 1.3/4 headers. It picked up an uncorrected 10 more Hp on the same dyno with the Kooks. It has been to the track one time since I have owned it and ran a 10.93 @127.8 mph on a 1.66 60'. I ran the car in everyday full weight street trim with a set of four year old 26/10.5 ET streets. Due to it being the last day of the season the track was packed and I only got to make three passes. I also couldnt launch the car over 4500 without severe wheel spin. The car has exellent street manors and is reliable enough to drive anywhere, I wouldnt hesitate to fly in and drive the car home. It has zero cooling problems thanks to the aluminum Howie radiator reguardless of outside temps or traffic.
The wheels are IForged Aero rotary forged three piece 18/10 front and 18/10.5 rear with Kumho MX 275/35 and 295/35/18. I have two of the original Mecham wheels "still available from both Mecham and ROH".
I also have a brand new set of Bogart Bolted R/T wheels with tires. The buyer can take his choise between the IForged or the Bogarts.
These pictures arent the greatest but there all I have of the car at this time.
Note... Pictures show the car with both the original hood as well as the current revised/new design hood. The original hood is included with the sale at asking price.
Asking price $23,500
Feel free to ask questions as I am sure I forgot some things..
