Looks to me like an early 80's VW rabbit in front...the back looks pretty close minus the one piece tail light. it doesnt have those  frog eye headlights the real pacers had.

One of the guys I work with brought in a recent (last Sunday) newspaper ad for me to look at. One of our local Chevy dealers has been absorbed into a mega dealer, and they ran an ad with some old photos to show a little history....

Burdick is the mega dealer btw, lol.

in the song four wheel drive by C.W. McCall he sings about running from the police in a CJ5 with racing stripes. there are also some AMC in the dukes of hazard TV series.


actually there are SEVERAL AMC'S in dukes, In the first series alone I see 4 not counting the police cars, or The Dixie Jeep. There were some Spirits and wagoneers as well as others (usually in the back ground) and even the credits gave a salute stating "Vehicles provided by Chrysler corp and American Motors Company" My 3 favorite shows involve 2 cars, 1 helicopter and allot of "OMG WTF DID THEY JUST DO!?" (Especially the poor general lee...  :'( ) In fact I believe in one episode kit was put into an old protable stereo/TV combo and Michael knight Commendered an old Nash in one episode of knight rider (Need to double check that BUT I believe it was "Pre-AMC" but I think it counts.
