Atmobil Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I have no picture but I met a AMC Pacer today, dark green with white roof. I think it had California plates om it that was TRUPACE. I wonder how that has ended up here in Norway.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Reminds of the period British car magazine that road tested a newly-imported Pacer, complete with dodgy RHD conversion. They were not impressed. 3 hours ago, Rob Hall said: 4 hours ago, Atmobil said: I wonder how that has ended up here in Norway.? In a container on a ship, probably.

Snake45 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yesterday I saw a late (2018 or 19) Corvette, metallic/pearl orange with wide black stripes and lots of black trim. It looked like something Batman would drive in the Halloween Parade. Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An economy car so underpowered that they had to add a V-8 to move it off the dealer lot. An "economy" car with a 1975 American V-8. Then again I understand they eat lutefisk up there. How bad is the fish that they have to soak it in lye to make it palatable? ? Hey, we may have lost our minds here but not our sense of humor.

In that case they are probably heading for New Zealand now as the GPS is showing them the shortest route too a McDonalds. 9 hours ago, Tom Geiger said: somebody in Norway liked Wayne's World! ?

Quite possibly so, if one imports a car to the country one can legally drive with foregin plates for one month I belive. 18 hours ago, The Junkman said: The true question is "why" it ended up in Norway.

I have now posted the complete article in a new thread. in the 1:1 Reference section of this forum I don't recall seeing the silver/grey RHD car before though, so I find that one of interest. Note that the registrations on the cars shown in the RHD car above, the one reviewed in the article, and a third one in the ad I posted with it are all different. So how many were there?

I once again spotted this car just a couple of hours ago going north (southbound last time) this time on the same road. Quite possible that someone here has imported it.

djflyer Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) I guess the only explanation is someone had alot of extra steel tube laying around.

espo Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 With time you forget just how big these cars were. This looks like a 98 so it would have the longer wheel base than the 88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
