brain freeze 09

Many of you remember the iconic Mirthmobile from, "Wayne's World," fame. The AMC Pacer featured in that film came complete with a licorice dispenser and a wicked soundtrack by Queen. I think that was actually the first time I heard, "Bohemian Rhapsody".

 

This Pacer doesn't have a licorice dispenser but it's fully tricked out with all the 'coolest' features for this month's Lugnuts challenge, "Fire and Ice." There is a monster sound system in the hatch accompanied by 20" LCD flat panel TV and a PS3 console. The stock motor has been swapped out for an inline 6 cylinder 4.0 liter Jeep engine. 18" rims front and rear complete the package for one icy cool ride.

 

Oh wait, what's that? I forgot to mention something? Ah yes, of course. What 1975 Pacer would be complete without lambo doors? The Pacer was remarkably ahead of its time actually, despite making the list of the 50 worst cars of all time. Heralded as the first wide-body compact car, the Pacer also featured a passenger door that was 4 inches longer than the driver side door for easier access to the back seat. This is nicely highlighted by the scissor door kit on the latest creation from Proudlove Design Studio; "Brain Freeze!"

 

Be sure to check out, "Hot Flash," from the twisted mind of Lino Martins, highlighting a 'hot' feature of another car that made the, "50 Worst," list.

 

Special thanks to Flickr member 'mopacer' for all the inspiration from Anna Beth's Purple X.
