Vehicle Description
The infamous AMC Pacer has been criticized ever since its 1975
inception, and to this day the funky bubble car frequents countless
love-to-hate-it lists. Its unconventional design was intended to
provide a spacious interior while maintaining compact exterior
dimensions and satisfying strict efficiency regulations. Pacers
were available with numerous options, including the popular X sport
package with bucket seats, a floor shifter and a sway bar along
with modest trim accents. The original design specified a
lightweight Wankel rotary engine for propulsion, but development
complications ultimately led to an overweight, low-output 3.8 or
4.2L six-cylinder for final production models. The eccentric
styling was never exactly a hit, and attempts to stimulate
declining sales included a higher output 120hp engine in 1976 and
an optional 5.0L V-8 in 1978. The power-to-weight ratio still left
much to be desired in terms of economy and performance, and in 1980
the Pacer was discontinued. But this nerd car, in all its peculiar
1970s glory, has found new appreciation after 30 years of
ostracism, approximately doubling in value over the past few years.
