If the Pacer was built as designed with the Rotary engine even if it ws a failure it would be a very desirable collector car not only by AMC peope but by anyone wanting somthing out of the ordinary. I have only seen one diecast Pacer, I can't remember if it ws a Johnny Lightening or a Hot Wheels. I have it somewhere. It is Maroon too Lu. I bought it from Frank Swygart the publisher of American Independant Magazine a few years ago.
