  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    My mom had a pacer, very futuristic! Not.

    What's the Wankel story? I never heard anything about AMC working on one...

    Wankel motors were to be suppled by GM... GM failed to make the Wankel work to EPA standard (That was GMs BS claim) and failed on their contract to AMC... AMC designed the Pacer around the Wankel...

    :rolleyes:
    That's not nice, to talk about her like that...

    Anyway: the passenger door on a Pacer was longer than the driver's door.

    Also unique was that the passenger door was four inches (101 mm) longer than the driver's on the left side.
    This made passenger loading easier, particularly from the rear seats; and they would also tend to use the safer curbside in countries that drive on the right.

    25 years ago I had a 1978 Pacer with a Buick 455 in it, kept ripping off the mounting points for the leaf spring shackles :cool:

    I hated working on them, but I have very distinct memories of seeing them at the Car shows and it was the first car that looked anything like an artists conception of "Cars of the future".
    Crap cans for sure, but still a slice of automotive history at least for me.

    x6.jpg My parents had one.

    Question from childhood that mystified me as a 12 year old: what is the purpose of that black dong-looking thing that is attached to the underside of the hood? (Funny replies anticipated.)

    I assumed it was meant to somehow cushion the closing of the hood, but it seemed kinda ridiculous...
