Just so you youngsters know pacers were notorious for being unsafe in rear end collision gas would explode better do some research Robbie want the boss to be safe also I know where 2 of them are sitting behind a house here in Indiana

@carmudgeon7478 4 месяца назад

It is Demri's car... Get a 4.6 stroker like Matt is putting in Dejablue. It's a straightforward drop in. Make that little thing a screamer instead of a turbo LS death trap.

@ryurc3033 3 месяца назад

Randall amc, a dealership in Arizona, was selling 401 powered pacers that would get into the 13s in the quarter mile.... Literally frightening to ride in.... because they don't like anything over 80....and with the super short wheelbase, and the soft spring rate, when my buddy would do doughnuts, it felt like the rear quarter panel was Dragging on the ground.

@dhag72 3 месяца назад

@@ryurc3033reminds me of my buddies in college driving their crawler cherokees with no sway bars and soft suspension on the streets. You'd look out the passenger window on a left turn and see pavement 😂 a little scary

@dacejuilfs5514 4 месяца назад

Definitely do a Wayne's World replica! Someone already suggested keeping the 6 cylinder and just adding a hair drier to it. That would by my advise too. Have fun with it!

@ericw3026 4 месяца назад

I agree, keep the engine, add turbos and make the paint job match Wayne's World, that would be a cool car to drive around and take to shows in

Just a thought. Put it on the road for the Boss then fully redo it for Lincoln's first car. He'd be the coolest kid in High School.

@Freedbird 4 месяца назад

I loved how Demri gave Robby the side eye at the end, while looking straight at him ! EZ Wider sponsored a Pacer in SCCA racing in the 70s. Check out that paint job ! A 6'4", 300 lb mab can lay down in the back comfortably, with the rear seat folded down.

I never owned an AMC vehicle but I DID own a 1974 Ford Pinto (with the exploding gas tank); to make matters worse after the OEM tires wore out at 20K miles I put on a set of Firestone 721 self-exploding radial tires. We didn't know . . . Angels and Ministers of Grace Defend Us. Hamlet Act 1, Scene 4 . Now, 50 years later ALL my family (and I) are still alive. Fortunately, now-a-days neither bacon nor eggs are on the 'Instant Death' list. Now we just call them Paleo and encourage their mass consumption. As Beldar, Prymatt and Connie Conehead might hear from the Highmaster: Therefore, you will... NARFTLE THE GARTHOK!

@brianbetts2866 3 месяца назад

It was the Firestone 500 that was a bad tire . The 721 replaced it

@pollkeaysranch 3 месяца назад

Since Demri bought the Pacer, you should let her make the decision on what to do with it. I had my husband turn mind into a 4x4. It took over a year, but I love it.

@ryurc3033 3 месяца назад

There was a dealership in Arizona that put together 401 pacers... Frightening having such a goofy squishy little car with a 401. My buddy got one in the 90s, and when he would do doughnuts, it felt like it was dragging the quarter panel on the ground.

@nilosson 4 месяца назад

I'm seventy years old now, but I've had so much fun with cars over the years. This episode really made me remember all the tinkering over the years with engines that wouldn't start. But with knowledge and stubbornness, they finally got started. My feeling is for all boys whose curiosity and playfulness are summed up in the sentence: boys will always be boys. And like the boy I am... I love it.

@brockryan3405 4 месяца назад

I think Demri did a good thing here. A lot of watchers want project builds more than the, day to day, accounts of your work adventures. A unique car, with good bones, is a great business plan for valuable content while rebuilding. So much good metal on there.

@GrandBB50 4 месяца назад

in 1977 I had a 53 willys wagon that was saved from the scrap pile. it had it's 4 cyl replaced with a straight 6 from a 55 Willys pickup. With the original fan shroud still in place we mounted the radiator and a 2 gal can for gas to the front bumper. What a site!! but great fun. I sure miss that old beast.

@REPOMAN747 4 месяца назад

@bludoe1 4 месяца назад

This reminded me of my first few cars, I'm 59, female. In the day, drove a GMC Hornet, then an Apollo. I knew how to open the hood and adjust the throttle to keep the engine running, esp in the cold. Miss the old cars. Peace and love

@MaxNafeHorsemanship 4 месяца назад

The Pacer was never popular, but innovative. Those BIG doors that Robby pointed out were part of the bigger design. Wait until he notices one is bigger than the other. To this day a lot of people hate them and think they are ugly, but I LOVE them. They were unique and ahead of their time. Never owned one, but I want to more all the time. I remember when they were new.

@Tinbender-zr4jd 4 месяца назад

Brings back memories of when I was first stationed in Germany in 1980. While I was waiting for my vehicle to arrive from the States, I would ride to work with one of my coworkers who had a Pacer. Interesting car, especially when you had to consider how it stood out in Germany (which it also did in the States). What I remember most is how roomy it was and the amount of viewing out the sides and rear. I had not remembered that from all those years ago until I watched your video here. 🙂

@aaadamt964 3 месяца назад

Man, ive wanted one of those forever. My mom had one when i was a baby. I was too young to remember it but have seen the pictures over and over.

@gnar5505 4 месяца назад

A couple fun tidbits of info. The passenger door is longer than the drivers, encouraging people to get in/out on the sidewalk side. Subway had an add that you could fit a 6foot sub sideways in the driver passenger seat.

@davejohnston5925 4 месяца назад

It's an interesting car; really, it is... In 1980, I saw one in Colorado that had been mounted to a 1970's Ford Bronco chassis ... 4X4 with a view. I have seen the AMC Pacer as well as their Gremlins with a Ford's 351/390ci, Chevy's 283/327ci, and Chrysler's 318/340ci engines squeezed into the engine compartment and Borg-Warner 4speed manual transmissions... Because in the last years of AMC they borrowed from Ford, Chrysler, and GM, on could get outrageously creative in creating a "sleeper" street machine in that era.

@yourhandlehere1 4 месяца назад

My sister designed a car quite similar when she was in high school, minus the hood out front. It looked more like the back on both ends. I think you need to jack it up, lose the hatch, put a boom on it. One more wrecker never hurts.

I'm in on this one as a AMC Fan. I got a 70 Javelin. Kinda always wanted a Gremlin with a 401. Can't remember but thought I heard that one door is slightly longer than the other on the Pacer.

@akhill4898 4 месяца назад

One weird thing about these cars , the passenger side door is six inches wider than the driver’s side, There’s a different hood with a hump in the center for V8 , can hold a bigger rad .

@user-hv6mm5ey5y 3 месяца назад

My buddy in high school had one. It came with a v-8 stock. It was the ultimate sleeper. And his had a manual. Since it was an AMC, a lot of jeep parts worked on it.

@ryurc3033 3 месяца назад

One of my friends acquired one in the 90s that had a dealer installed 401( I forget what they called it) but It was ratty, dirty, but frighteningly fast, and handles like an overstuffed jelly doughnut.

@JamesDBuzzard 4 месяца назад

I hope you do more of a restoration on this one and keep it semi original looking maybe just lower it with some wheels, reliable drivetrain doesn’t even have to be an LS, new paint job, clean up the interior. Would be a pretty sweet daily.

I remember those cars. I grew up with AMC. I actually had an AMC Hornet Coup (two door). The Pacer had many issues....many. But a roll cage, some suspension parts, a 4x4 drive train, it could be ready for Sand Hollow...maybe.🤠

@MrJest2 4 месяца назад

It was an interesting design, poorly executed mechanically. Reasonable aerodynamics for the era, and incredible visibility for not being a standard flat-top sedan format, it *could* have been an amazing car for the time. But cheaping out on pretty much the rest of the vehicle sort of doomed it. Kinda ugly, yeah... but people would have overlooked that if the rest of it worked to it's full potential. It would be fun if the guys gave this one the full restoration treatment, but we'll see...

@yogisfriend7869 3 месяца назад

AMC Sourced a ton of parts from different manufacturers in the 70s. As you go through it maybe you can name who made what. You've found Ford Components, the ignition switch and keys are GM, the (anemic) 232 six is all AMC, but I believe the auto trans may be Chrysler torqueflite. You'll find this beast all over the map. A shame AMC died, in a way they were ahead of their time with the 4WD Eagles. Now look at the SUV all wheel drive types we have on the road today. PS. I did hear of a guy in the area that gutted a Pacer for his backyard terrarium.

@peterreynolds6704 4 месяца назад

The Pacer was built as an answer to the small cars built as a result of the oil embargo(s) of the 70's. People missed 'wide' cars, so the pacer had the bulging sides to make more interior room, i.e. a wider small car. Good luck.....

When I was in high school auto shop class the teacher wanted to take a pacer and make it a 4x4, paint it silver, mirror out the windows with an American flag on the sides and name it earth one. Instead we took a 68 Chevy 3/4 ton, shortened the frame and put a 65 El Camino on it. This was in 1981-82. I used to see it driving around town every once in a while about 10 years ago.

We had a 76 Pacer as well, it was chosen by the wife, she goes for the different type of ride. Ours had the Ford 4 speed with bucket seats. She drove that car hard! 57,000 miles, 4 sets of tires and sitting in the drive, reverse decided to leave. One note, the passenger door is slightly longer to make getting in the back easier. Yep, that was a strange car.
