How much fun would it be to smoke a "supercar" with a Pacer? The mind boggles. Hi Bill! I agree: the guy in the ponycar would be taken aback!

ea0863 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Claude, your build made me think of an article in Hot Rod Magazine I had excerpted: It wasn't until someone pointed it out to me that I read above that the whole thing was an April Fool's joke! Still, cool drawings... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 A very cool concept, well executed. I made my Pacer into a futuristic urban assault vehicle. Regards, David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky 130 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Love the build, Color,WOW! in reality if Chrysler had taken over AMC earlier, AMC would have ended much earlier and gone the way the Jeep is going. Don't buy at any cost is the recommended, buy nearly all consumer report type experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode in one Pacer back in the day, not sure I was very impressed with the quality but might be a different story with a modern Hemi in it! Great job. Thank you David! Truth be told, I never rode in a Pacer, but I would certainly jump at the occasion if I ever could! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright color, would never get lost in a parking lot, and smooth finish. Like the chassis and exhaust. Hi David! You are right: this chassis is very well detailed "as-is". Just detail work (and shortening) required. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Claude, the Pacer hoods were hindged in the front from the factory, I had one years ago. It rode well & got great mpg, wish I still owned it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, cool drawings... Hi EMRE! I saw that article too, and I have it in my collection. I looked long and hard at the Pacer that Mr. Stanford designed, and I planned to create it by mashing a late 350Z (bottom) and a Porsche 928 greenhouse, with some mods, of course. But since I could not find suitable, affordable donor cars, I resolved to keep most of the Pacer OEM body intact, and rather modernize the chassis/powertrain and interior. Choices, choices...
