Dirty Dave Posted January 20, 2019 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.
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 20, 2019 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.

Oldcarfan27 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 True dat, and they take up less room in the garage too!
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I have a sweet spot for those ugly little AMCs. This one looks really hot! Nice job!

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?
Tom Geiger Posted January 21, 2019 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!
Dirty Dave Posted January 24, 2019 Author Posted January 24, 2019 I added the exhaust, roof tie-down, and a few other bits. Going to call it done.
