Coolpacer at Woodward!

By Katherine Helmetag

CarDomain member Coolpacer warned me that his dad would be showing off their 1978 AMC Pacer project in Ferndale, MI as part of the Woodard Dream Cruise festivities. And sure enough, John Allen, Coolpacer’s dad, was on hand to give me and my sons a tour of their blacked-out, hopped-up AMC. The custom dash they built caught my attention—it’s got everything you need to keep things cool when you’re running hot. Their build pages have tons of detail about the car and the time they’ve spent together on it. The only thing missing from this ride is a CarDomain sticker! More Pacer pics after the jump, and don’t forget to check out the ride page.

Wow, thanks Katherine! My dad said that you stopped by to say hello. It was tough not being able to make it out this year (first year I missed it in I think 15). I miss the Pacer too, but my dad’s enjoying it too much. I don’t have the hear to bring it out the California.

I’ve always loved this car. There’s something about people who would pour that kind of time and attention into a car that other people would cross the street to avoid that just gets to me. There’s a great Gremlin parked by one of my favorite grocery stores and I always stop to look at it.

I’ve seen this Pacer’s page before.

The owner is a nice guy too.

This Pacer and the Purple one featured in Hot Rod Magazine are
my favorites…

Nice work. I wish I could see this car in person.
