Needless to say, not a lot of these Machos were built, and the two brothers continued to refine their performance upgrades in the next years, with 1978 witnessing the introduction of a five-speed transmission and a turbo for increased output. What we have here is a 1979 Macho, and boy, it looks so great. The car has most likely been babied during its entire life, and judging from the photos included by eBay seller versa23, you shouldn’t even think about things like rust, scratches, or anything that would require any major fixes.
