1978 Trans Am Macho T/A #33
Rare low mileage car from single owner family
Black and Gold- original paint
** Original 400 eng. and 4-Speed trans. **
needs restoration
** Original woman owner parked this rare car in 1991 or 1992 and it has been waiting to be restored since then. The car ran and drove fine when parked. A family member convinced her to let him restore the car about 4 years ago and he took out the gas tank,radiator, fender wells,door panels and headliner.He then had marital problems so he stopped and parked her again. Being a rare T/A collector, I heard of this car many years ago but only recently found it and convinced the owners to sell.
This Macho has it's original engine (vin stamp on front verifies)
Engine turns over and ran when parked but has been not been started for over 20 years.
She has Utah rust from driving daily for the first 12-14 years. Salted roads took their toll on rear quarter bottoms (inner and outer) and rear lower bumper brace. Floors and trunk look fine. Factory undercoating. Paint is original and faded. Interior is original. Original Black Velour seats look just like a 73k mile car seat should, just dirty. Dash cracked. Original carpet, etc. Door panels and headliner are gone.
** Very few 4-speed Macho's were built....I know, I have all 1978-1979 Macho T/A records. Black and Gold is the most desired and this one has had one owner since new. The lady did not abuse the car, only neglected it in the last years before parked.
** This Macho comes with a huge pile of reciepts from 1980 to 1991 when she was parked.
** Also comes with Mecham records, Macho brochure and new console ID plate. (old one stolen)
** My garages are full (as you can see from pics) and want to see this car go to the right home and someone who will do a great job bringing her back to glory. My Macho #126 Silver Anniversary car recently went to a Great home and is now restored as well as my #4, #9,#21,#52, #87,#90, #121,#142, #146 and #173. I presently own #77, #101, #199 ..... 1979 #92 and #96 ..... 1979 Macho Z #7 (last one made) and 1997 Macho T/A #1 Prototype. I have records for all Mecham cars built in 1978 and 1979 and can verify all vin #'s and options ordered. I also have some MSE items that I purchased from Dennis Mecham many years ago, if you need any. Sorry, the other Macho's I have are not for sale....they are stored for retirement.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
