This ones in sad shape and needs a complete
restoration but its very rare and would be worth the time and effort.
It was for sale but I don't know if it found a new home. Mark sent me
the following:
"Hi, I thought I'd drop you a line. I think your
site is tremendous. I used to own a 77 Macho TA #21, sold it to a
friend of mine, and now he's thinking about selling it, and wants me
to try and find a home of it. It's pretty much all original yet, it's
a 400, 4speed, 77,000 mi, no T-top car, white with red. It came up
here to Wisconsin from Chicago 20 some years ago, and it needs to be
restored. Lots of surface rust, but still runs and drives good. I'll
get some pics in a couple of weeks after it comes out of storage. So I guess there is at least four 77's left.
Hi Jimmy, here are the pics. The Concord stereo is the original one
installed by DKM. He has a new set of Macho decals from DKM minus the
rear spoiler decal which was unavailable at the time. We had to send a
copy of the title to authenticate ownership to get them, and received
a letter back from Dennis Mecham confirming the vin, decals and letter
will be included with the car. It's had new brakes front and rear, new
calipers, rotors, drums, wheel bearings and seals front and rear,
front brake hoses, emergency brake cables, exhaust from the original
hooker headers back, shocks, and tires. The snowflake wheels are not
original, the car came from DKM with I believe Appliance chrome steel
wheels, they were pretty rusty, I think he has one of them left. It
starts, runs and drives good, 77k is original miles. The body is
pretty rough.
For the last twenty some years it has not been driven in the winter,
but don't know about the first few. It needs a windshield, rear
quarters and inner panels, and rear lower panel behind fuel tank.
The rear sub frame where the leaf spring shackle mounts on the
drivers side is rusted out, and there are rust holes in the outer
corners of the dash panel. The original front sway bar was removed
to replace the bushings and links, hasn't been installed yet, but is
included.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Mark |
