Vehicle Description
The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact car produced in the United
States by the American Motors Corporation from 1975 to 1979.
American Motors' chief stylist Richard A. Teague began work on the
Pacer in 1971, anticipating an increase in demand for smaller
vehicles through the decade. The new car was designed to offer the
interior room and feel of a big car that drivers of traditional
domestic automobiles were accustomed to, but in a much smaller,
aerodynamic and purposefully distinctive exterior package. This
Pacer Wagon features the DL package which is a more upscale edition
that included a wood grain instrument panel as well as some
interior features that were otherwise optional. The exterior had
additional chrome accents, different wheel covers and
identification badging. Options and accessories include power
steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning. The current
owner believes the 66,390 miles showing on the odometer are actual.
Although "automotive oddity" is a recognition that the Pacer gets
for its contribution to history, today the Pacer's originality, as
well as its deficiencies, are appreciated, if not loved, by car
hobbyists and serious collectors alike.
