AMC Pacer

The AMC Pacer is one of those oddities that was mostly derided when it was new but as the years have passed, it has enjoyed a cult-like resurgence both as a doer-upper and as a highly collective piece of Americana. Remember the car in Wayne’s World where they sang Bohemian Rhapsody? An AMC Pacer. Everyone roots for the underdog and the AMC Pacer, along with Wayne and Garth, are the underdogs.

Perhaps the Americas’ biggest automotive joke, the AMC Pacer has long topped lists of the world’s worst cars. But Mike feels this neglected 1970’s hatchback is ready for classic status and he enlists Edd to help make this car cool again. Edd comes up with a visual transformation which he thinks will address the failures of the original styling and attract a 21st Century buyer. But with a limited budget and some very off-the-wall ideas will this gamble land them a big profit or major loss?
