Party On! Wayne's World Pacer up for Auction!

[miket1117]

1976 AMC PACER 'WAYNE'S WORLD' (barrett-jackson.com)
Last sold in 2016, also at Barrett-Jackson, for just over $37,000. And no, I won't be bidding on it.

I got picked up by a woman while I was hitch hiking many years ago. She was driving a Pacer. Ugliest car I was ever in.

I've always wanted one to seal up and use for a Fish Tank.

If you own an Excalibur copy... and a spare $50K sitting around... you gotta have this car.

No wonder AMC went belly up.

Remember the commercials. "Twice the Width"

Think about the possibilities…

I've actually wanted one of those since they came out. Just something about it that strikes a chord with me.

That's hilarious.
I used to laugh at the chavs driving their 'hot-rodded' pre-'92 Nissan Micras, with their front airdam-and-rear-spoiler body kits that were bigger than the car itself.
You'd walk past one sat idling at the curb, and you'd approach from the rear, hearing the large-diameter exhaust rumbling away.... get to the front, and you'd hear the sewing machine under the bonnet.

I might be strange but i really like the look of both those cars , i think they look uglyish cool. I would drive one if it had the steering wheel on the correct side

Modern cars are great in so many ways but god damn it most are so bland & of a soulless design . I am looking at changing my car & have been for over 6 months but i am losing the will to live with these euro boxes , i am seriously considering the Fiat 500 Arbarth . Italian, stylish, small & super fast & the exhaust sounds like someone stood on a tigers foot .

looks like fun! fiat re-entered the US market a few years ago, but dont see too many around where i live and cant recall ever seeing an Abarth.

we DO see a lot of Mini Coopers though.
