My four car garage may never speak to me again, a client brought over a car for me to do a little rust repair on...my usual garage line-up is, wife's Jeep, my BMW, step-son's 944 and my project 914, it is now Jeep, BMW, 1978 AMC Pacer wacko.gif , and 914. Man this thing is ugly, it is in primo shape, 43K original miles, it has some very minor rust on the lower rear quarters, it's a good moneu maker for me, but my garage may never speak to me again! biggrin.gif The front bucket seats look like Barco loungers in bad 70's upholstery, I'll post a pic tonight!

My wife had a Pacer back in the late 70s. I always thought it would make a good aquarium. Actually, there is more than a passing resemblance to a 928....

PACER !
I traded in my four year old 1971 Teener for a new 1975 Pacer. I splurged and got the sports sterring wheel that usually came with Gremelins. Man was I in for a shock the first time I swung out to pass a truck on a two lane highway.

That 6 cylinder would barely pull the 4000 # of glass, but if I recall, my ex wife and I had some great sex in the back set. The car is gone and so is the wife. mueba.gif

Top speed of 98 mph!

It would be like having sex in an aquarium. I love the car is gone, so is the wife comment! Speaking of wifes, my one year anniversary of my divorce being final is this Friday, I love tax day!!!! cool.gif

Party on Wayne, party on Garth! I sat in the front seat, I started looking for the tilt back lever!

I thought I was the only one who recognized that! laugh.gif
Chop the greenhouse, squint your eyes, and it's almost a baby 928...

No offense, the 928 design IS timeless.

Come on guys, who doesn't like that 2-tone brown on brown paint job going in the wrong direction, matching interior with snazzy seat pattern and the top-of-the-line leaf spring rear suspension? The AMC Pacer just plain rocks! aktion035.gif

Looks like an early styling design exercise for the FX45 Infinity. . . .

If I tried to pull that THING into my garage, it would throw up..... barf.gif

Some people swear the 928 was designed by running over a model pacer with a forklift.



Honestly.. it's a nice car. But MAN is it fugly!!!!!!

mattillac
that's the cleanest pacer i've ever seen. it must be worth at least $1,500. wink.gif

I swear I heard "Get Out" when I pulled it in the garage! I hope to have it out in less then a week. I just got the go ahead to build a second garage with a paint booth, I'll be dangerous then!

It has much thicker sheet metal then our teeners, no wonder it weighs 8 million pounds!
