Dirty Dave Posted January 20, 2019 Still have some things to finish up on the Pacer Wagon for NNL West's wagon theme. Vette suspension, a Toyota 2JZ-GTE engine and a bunch of weathering. Front splitter and rear diffuser are 3D printed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 20, 2019 Nice job, car looks real! But I can't imagine anyone spending that much money on making a REAL Pacer look like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Case in point. Thanks, fellas! Yeah, I remember visiting my half-brother in Hawaii in '77, and he had one of these to haul the family around Oahu in. Pretty sure his was silver/black two-tone, but I have memories of a burgundy velour interior... classy. Looking back at it now, it definitely predicts the crossover SUV's that came later. I mean, it wasn't proportioned like any other wagon at the time, but it has a wide track, dual wishbone front suspension with rack and pinion steering, and room to set that inline six well back under the dash/cowl area. Mostly, it just looks like fun, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Geiger Posted January 21, 2019 Cool model! My friend worked for an AMC dealer back then so I got to play with these. A six cylinder 4 speed Pacer was a lotta fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
