2005 Pontiac Vibe Gt Mulholland, Built By Dennis Mecham Of The Macho Ta's on 2040-cars

 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT Mulholland. This Car was custom built by Dennis Mecham for display at the 2004 SEMA show. (google it, there is photos of it in the convention hall lobby) The same Dennis Mecham of the famous Macho TA's, MSE Trans am, Mecham Trans ams and lastly Mecham Design, Performance. The GT Mulholland is #1 of 1 built and was the Design exercise of Dennis and Pontiac to highlight the second generation of Vibes and his long standing relationship with Pontiac.

 In the career of Dennis Mecham this GT Mulholland is significant in that this is the LAST car Dennis built and put his label on. I purchased the car directly from Dennis after he owned it and used it on the show circuit for the first 3 years, it was his personal car. I am the second owner since 2008. It has been strictly a weekend run about and has always been in the garage next to my Macho TA #16. The car handles superbly, just as Dennis intended, it is wonderful fun to drive, glued to the road with brand new BF Goodrich KDW's and there will never be another one next to you at the stop light!

Dennis said just these mods alone were close to $20K, the original window sticker on the car was $23K

Overall mechanically the car is like new with all the available factory options you could get on a GT, it has only 38,000 miles and has used synthetic oil since new. With all the mods and the available bigger GT motor it has an estimated 200 hp.

The only real flaw in the car is there is a bit of fading in the PPG Tangerine paint most notability on the rear hatch where it was exposed to AZ. sunlight through a garage window while stored at Dennis's home (note picture) plus a couple of touch up's on the red and silver paint. Currently I have the cold air intake off the car and have the factory intake on in order to pass CA smog, the cold air intake will go with the car including the advertising/sponsor board that was made for the show events.
