1977 AMC Pacer Wagon

Even though this kit was just reissued, this is a vintage kit that I bought about 25 years ago for $8. The reissue helped spur me to build this model. I had a lot of fun personalizing it; making the decals for the seats and wood trim that I added. At the last minute when adding the antenna I realized it needed a yellow happy face antenna ball, and since I was working at my friend's house he had a box of pins at his desk w/the perfect size ball ends to make this detail. I started this back in early August.

Beautifully done!,like the decals used on the interior,nice to see these once despised kits getting some love.

Very nice!

Beautiful job Bob as always. Your build is so nice I like it even though never liked the real car.

Interesting subject. The chrome details are very cleanly done!

Very nice!

Unusual model, as always super clean and perfect colour combination!

That is awesome, you could have also gone with a orange ball with "76" on it.
i remember seeing those.

Awesome!!

This is about as realistic as it gets. I wasn't expecting such a beautiful and clean build. About the best wood grain I have ever seen on a model.

Thanks for all the replies!

Very nice build.

Wow, I remember the 70's.

Yeah, that's about what I remember. Perfect, I'd say.

Now why can't my memories be of Lambo Miuras and Datsun 240s? (I should go build some stuff and recreate some memories that I don't have....)

Didn´t know this kit, turned out great !!
