Color combinations were left up to the customer's discretion and there were two dozen interior/exterior color combinations listed in the DKM brochure but did not include Black with blue accents. Dennis Mecham said: "Jeff Kimble called me up from California and  wanted us to build him one in black with blue and silver accents and at first I told him that I didn’t think that color combo would fly, he said “trust me”. We built it for him and it turnedout great."

This car is among one of the rarest 2nd Gen Trans AM’s known to exist. It was custom ordered as a Starlight Black on black  4 speed car with the WS6 package and a host of options to start, then delivered to Mecham Pontiac in Arizona. Then Dennis and his team performed the Macho transformation and added the Macho package, Hurst shifter, oil kit and the ultra rare fiberglass hood option.

Car number 106 is the only 1978 documented Black/Blue Macho T/A known to exist and is fully authenticated with a signed letter from Dennis himself, PHS documentation, factory original build sheet, copies of all original invoices and work orders from DKM performance and a binder of original documentation, literature, and even the note pad with maintenance notes from one of the previous owners in California that was a pit crew member of the Flowmaster racing team. The orignal Mecham Pontiac keychain and keys are with the car as well. The complete owner history is know back to 1978 and even includes the waiver signed by the first owner acknowledgeing the purchase as a used car due to the fact that DKM could not deliver the new warmed up Macho's as new cars with out an MSO.

Uniquely, car #106 was one of the very few Macho's delivered to California with the 400, 6.6 litre package which was outlawed due to emissions laws in CA in lieu of the 403 Olds motor.  Due to the unique color combination Dennis Mecham nicknamed this car “Bruise” when he built it because of its black and blue color scheme.
