Saw this classic at the JY sunday

Interesting note about the Pacer; it was originally designed for a rotary engine...AMC was very heavily into development but ended up having to use their trusty inline 6 instead.

and the original Dodge Charger was designed to be a production turbine powered car!

This is also the reason for the HUGE (and I think ugly) grille on the later models. The earlier models with the small grille tended to overheat.

My very first car was a '75 Pacer! I miss my little three-in-the-tree.... :`(

Find out how much they might want for it. I might need another project car in the near future.

Actually, IIRC, the reason for the enlarged, raised hood on the later model Pacers is so the V8 would fit.
The original front end sloped down too much.

You are correct, sir.
