Just when AMCs of yore are transcending their ironic-kitsch status into becoming genuinely collectible cars, here comes a Pacer that threatens to blow everybody’s cheeseball notions right back into the Stone Age.
This car checks so many automotive lust boxes that it seems hopelessly redundant to list them again. But if you’re just joining in, here goes:
- It’s an AMC.
- It’s a Pacer.
- It’s a Pacer wagon.
- It’s brown. Glorious, glorious brown.
- It’s got wood trim. ORIGINAL wood trim.
- It’s a Pacer.
- It’s got a LS7 attached (presumably with more substantial material than the rest of the Pacer) to a Powerglide and Ford 9-inch rear.
- With said LS7, it’s good for 10:24 in the quarter-mile at 131.96mph.
- It’s a Pacer wagon.
- It comes with a matching golf cart. (Buy one get one free!)
- The golf cart also has wood trim.
- The 8-track player is permanently wired to Foghat.
Or it would if it had one, anyway. Because when you’re driving a 30-year old Kenosha product with the oft-derided aerodynamic properties of a fishbowl, you’ve got to listen to something to drown out the laughter from bystanders—before you blow their asymmetrical doors off.
