Amc Pacer

The reputation of the AMC Pacer certainly precedes itself. But the late 1970s bubble-shaped car certainly has its fans, too, if nothing else but for its kitsch factor. Or its appearance in Wayne’s World. Whether you love or hate the Pacer, there’s no question that it’s an iconic part of automotive history.

I mentioned a week or so back that the actual AMC Pacer from the flick Wayne’s World was going up for auction. That auction happened over the weekend and some fan plunked down $37,400 for the movie car.

Cars used in moves are often very cool, and people want them badly. That can’t be said for all movie cars. When a movie car is based on one of the ugliest production cars ever made, you’d think that nobody would want it.
