AMC Pacer.
Interesting AMC stories on you tube. The history of the brand have it’s roots as Rambler, maybe Hudson but i can not confirm it. For Nicolas it is interesting to know AMC did build a Renault 5 for the USA market.
As the big three all came from Detroit, AMC was from Wisconsin.
AMC did make remarkable cars like the Javelin and AMX.
AMC was mostly known for it’s compact cars. The Gremlin is evidence.
If the Gremlin is beautiful or ugly, i let chose you guys to decide.
For the guys who enjoy Jay Leno’s garage, a special AMC Gremlin jeans was a special guest.

Than that awesome VW sp2.
Looks indeed like a modern alteration of a Karmann Ghia.
Engine in the back like a beetle, head lights lent from an iconic air cooled VW before the Golf era, it looks like a Brazilian Scirocco.
I never see it till now, so there are more very rare cars out there.
I give a hint, Alfa Romeo Montreal. Who?

It does make sense. Nice looking car. Was it actually fast in acceleration?

Or "Horsepower: Enough"

Attractive design!

It sure looks like a Brazilian version of the Scirocco.... I even liked the modern one which was made for a few years in Europe relatively recently....

Remember my friend who fixed your P1800 ?

When we came back from Holland ? He has one ... but then I think he has all special air-cooled VW's

No, really??? Wow!

... that I took in the 90ies ... haven't seen the car since but knowing him he hasn't sold it .. unless it perished in the fire that destroyed a part of his collection a few years ago.

I had never seen this model before. Very interesting!
