Would make a great sleeper ..... the Pacer. Back in the day my brother made a lot of money street racing a 59 Ford 4 dr sedan with no hubcaps....made it look like Mom's car that the kid popped the hubcaps off of. He had a built FE in it, with the firewall set back 9" so he could get more weight to the back....never beat anyone bad....had to keep them coming back for more. The V-8 Mustang and Camaro guys just couldn't quit trying.
He bought a brand new GTO convertible with the proceeds.
Rich I think some underestimate the rural drag scene in Michigan back in the 60s and 70s. Heck they were made here and we proudly beat the snot out of them.
They aren't to bad in price if you can find one... quite a few died in wrecks because that much power on that short wheelbase could stand them on the back bumper. I almost went over backwards one time when wind got under the front end off the line. Guys said the car was at close to 80 degrees vertical before it started coming back down. Bent the **** out of the front end that time and had to do some rebuilding. But parts were easy to find in the junkyards and were dirt cheap.
Ya I guess even rare needs desireable added to bring the big bucks. Sad thing is something like that will fade from the memorys of everyone in the short future. I appreciate you showing them to me. One guy here that thinks there ultra cool.
You need my new cookbook Hog to Ham... Use it all but the oink!
