Agreed that it's a mixture of several cars, though the styling looks remarkably similar to a Maserati Khamsin.

Based on the ride height and bed length, it seems to be a C-10 Cheyenne. Based on the two-tone paint scheme, year range would be 1969-1972. A front view could narrow that further.

'Cudas are Challengers looked nearly identical from above, but 'Cudas had shorter hoods, that terminated before the front of the car. This car's hood extends over the grille, which would make it a 1970-1971 Challenger...just as I said over five years ago.

For European standards, the Pacer was pretty crap.


Indeed...enthusiasts often forget that car cultures differ the world over, and the criteria for what constitutes a good vehicle also differ accordingly.

Europeans did not understand why American manufacturers would sell a "compact" with the dimensions and fuel economy of a mid-size car, and potential buyers from the nations saddled with displacement taxes lamented having to pay 4.2 liter taxes on a car with 120 horsepower.

In America, by contrast, the Pacer was at the time applauded for its spacious, comfortable interior and smooth highway ride, two things that pretty much all European compacts of the day lacked. Likewise, the big 4.2 liter six meant that the car made an impressive 200 foot pounds of torque, with a comfortably flat torque curve from just over 1,600 rpm all the way to redline. This made the car accelerate well from any speed, made it a fantastic highway cruiser, and even made it capable of towing small trailers, boats, and campers with considerable ease.

Sadly, nobody seems to remember the Pacer for anything today except for its odd styling. Hopefully exposure through games like Forza will improve that perception.

An interesting addition...Pintos were very popular with the street racers on Mulholland Drive back in the '70s, and decently built ones could hold their own against any Ford Capri or BMW 2002.

Now if there's just a way to delete the bumpers. Then just add some Minilite lookalike wheels and tint the windows, along with rock hard suspension and a roll cage...that's the way they did 'em then.

This platform was sold as the Volkswagen Fox in the U.S. market from 1987 to 1993. My parents had a 1989 coupe when I was little. It was something of a crude, noisy car, and the interior was pretty cheap.

On the plus side, it was mechanically and structurally durable, somewhat zippy for an economy car, and could handle even the roughest dirt roads like they were nothing. They owned it until December of '96, and in that time it proved itself to be a capable, practical little car.

I wouldn't mind having one now...

If you ignore the grille and headlights, then virtually all GM A-bodies (Chevelle, Tempest/LeMans/GTO, Skylark, and Cutlass/442) look the same. The only other difference is in the taillights...which this car also doesn't share with a 442.

R/T?


The car uses the 340 small block, from the horsepower quoted in the game, and 340s weren't available in R/Ts in 1970 (though their Plymouth 'Cuda sister cars could be had with a 340). 340s came as an optional engine in the standard Challenger, and a triple-carbed version was used in the Challenger T/A.

Curiously, this car looks quite a bit like an R/T as modeled in the game, and for some reason it has Challenger T/A side exhaust. Despite the engine and exhaust, though, it doesn't produce the T/As horsepower level, nor does it have any of the T/A graphics or cosmetic features.
