In the 1970s, American Motors was a struggling company. Its management decided to take a risk and try something all-new. In Project Amigo, The First Wide Small Car was conceived with no legacy, featuring a body style not seen before, using the latest technology, and exceeding upcoming safety regulations. Yet, it was made for a future that did not happen, commercially successful for a short time only — not long enough to save AMC.From 'Code Name, Amigo'

Yeah, this is one of my sleeper car fantasy rides - cruise on up with a Pacer that has a Javelin 390cu motor hotrodded to hell and gone crammed under the hood. (The other one would be an early '80s Mercury Zephyr wagon, with the suspension and motor from a mid-aughts Cobra. Fox bodies FTW.)
