In the late 80's I would skip Fridays and hang out at Mecham Racing who made the famous Macho T/A's and I remember this car being built. As verified by Dennis Mecham, this is one of only a couple of Daytona 500 Pace Cars that had the MSE Motorsports Edition conversion. This car is numbered 1983-95. This car was brought in by Thibideau Pontiac in Tucson, AZ for the Mecham Conversion, which subsequently, according to Dennis Mecham, ruined their professional relationship. My friend, Heath Elmer (of Heath Elmer Restorations) and I have probably owned 20 Mecham cars over the years and this was the last one that I wanted to own. Our stable has included 1986 Macho T/A, 1986 Magnum IROC, 1985 Magnum IROC, multiple MSE's, Macho Z, Talon T/A's, Turbo Macho's, and numerous Macho T/A's. Heath and I followed this car until it was sideswiped about 10 years ago and totaled. I bought this car then and started to restore it. I have never driven this car exept in and out of the driveway. The car only needs weatherstripping to be completed. I got it this far, start it weekly, then never completed the weatherstripping and started on a Road Runner Project. I have just lost interest in it. I have the original Daytona 500 Aero wheels and caps that were only found on the Daytona Pace Cars, and the Daytona 500 Floor Mats. The Mecham Gauges are made from the correct red light Daytona Pace Car Only Gauges. It has the correct color keyed Daytona Fender Plaque denoting a 5 speed car of which only 520 were released by Pontiac. Mecham only made one or two Daytona MSE's to Dennis' memory. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is up for sale or trade locally. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
