Hey! I had those paint saving mudflaps too back in the day!

No front shots of the topless DKM, instead, IIRC this was one of MECHAM's personal cars?
But, I could be wrong (again)!

Yes,you are correct....this particular car was Dennis Mecham's ,wifes personal car,and the only white/black paint scheme in 1978...it is #142,my cousin owned it for a few years while he completely restored it.My brother done all the body/paint work on that car,I even had a hand at helping sand it down and I also done all the polishing on those wheels with a rotory polisher and lots of hours. My dad built both the motor and transmission in it for him. The car was acquired by my cousin from a guy out of Oklahoma,turned out to be a beautiful car when finished. My brother also bought a 1979 Macho T/A from the same guy in Oklahoma,it was #43 Gold with Black graphics,it is also the only gold/black sheme known to exist in 1979, it was a 400/4spd. my brother sold it to another guy that owns a car lot,and it went back to Oklahoma,so the last ive heard on that car is that its setting in a showroom somewhere around Tulsa I believe. I love the life stories of these cars :-)
