It has a 3 speed automatic transmission and a 258 ci inline 6 cylinder manufactured by American Motors (before the Chrysler takeover).





American economy cars in the 1970s often offered an inline 6 cylinder engine as an option. They were large and heavy enough to need it.

Oh it's a death trap....but it's infinitely safer than the Ford Pinto from the same era.

My mom drove a blue Pacer for years and loved it. She claims she would drive one today if she could get one in good condition that didn't cost much. I guess she likes it, but not enough to spend the money on one now.

It's not even close. Modern cars are much safer.

Once upon a time there was a race car racer,
And he had himself a suped up AMC Pacer
It was shaped like a bubble, but it drove really fast Racer couldn't drive so the Pacer it crashed
Got himself a guy with a truck that could tow her
Still he said he didn't think that guy could fix its motor
But that guy he didn't care; he fixed it just the same
I guess that's how Engine Joe got his name
