Kammeback doesn't have anything on the pacer, I'd suspect.  That's gotta be a car you don't want to drive around in without a shirt in the middle of a heat wave!

Hey, I got a good tan out of that. I've got to stay cool somehow until I put A/C in. The real downside is you get funny patterns on your back from the seat covers.

I like the old round headlight Hornet/Concord grill idea. Also, I recall seeing pictures of one at a show with a Dodge (IIRC) grill put on it, complete with the streamlined headlights. I think it was a thread on the 'Nest and I don't know if it made it through the deletes. It was very sharp looking.

I'm not a fan of big rims and thin tires on the Eagle, but I think the AMX or an Eagle lowered and kitted out with a less-outrageous AMX Turbo style body kit could pull them off. That would make it more of an AWD road-rally car.
