Uncle Mike Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 At one of our local shows, a gent entered a 1978 1/25 scale Pacer, and it was an eye-grabber! I couldn't locate him, and by the time I found someone who could point him out, he and the Pacer were gone... I don't know if it was resin, but it was sharp. I have an idea for a Pacer, so am searching out a kit, if there was such an animal. Anyone know? Thanks!
rickr442 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 AMT made AMC kits including the Pacer, probably '75 to 1980 or so. IIRC the HH site has had a few available for auction. They're not bad kits though AMT was really hurtin' back then. The sedan and wagon were offered.
Kenny Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Yes, I built the '76 annual myself when I was a kid. Nice 6cyl AMC engine if you can find one.

Thanks to Zeb for the personal msg., I'm gettin' it! The 6 cyl. engine would be a perk, as I'm doin' some inliner cars, and there are never enough sixes...
Kenny Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Someone said AMT but I don't remember that. Maybe they made them too but the one I built was MPC.

What kind of road racing are those tires for, dirt road? Now that I look at that intake manifold more, it looks like there wasn't much change in the design used on the 4.0l version used from '87-'98 other than to make it an EFI manifold in aluminum!

Those are Suburban snow tires. Yes the engine would look good in a Jeep!
