JUNE 1990 1970 VG VALIANT PACER 4BBL

Ten thousand was a lot of dollars for a Valiant in 1990, even when the car on offer was one of the surprisingly quick 4BBL VG Pacers. Chrysler built the hot-rod sedan more in hope than expectation of competition success but they actually won some races outright. This probably isn’t one of the scarce E34 Track Pack cars; more likely an E35-code Street 4BBL. However, the engine # shown doesn’t appear in any of the Pacer databases we consulted. Providing the Pacer has survived, its OTT asking price now looks to be a bargain.

SINCE THEN: Hard to be precise about where 4 BBL Pacer prices have gone because they just don’ t appear in the market that often. Given how under valued they were, doubling in the space of five years wouldn’ t surprise.
