Wayne's World AMC Pacer up for Grabs
The AMC Pacer is one of those cars that leaves no one indifferent; either you love its unique styling or you laugh at its oddball shape. Nicknamed the rolling aquarium, this car has gotten a lot of attention ever since it was launched.
One of them even got its fair share of glory: in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, Garth Algar was driving a pale-blue Pacer complete with flame stickers on its sides. This car was instrumental in a magical rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Good news for Wayne's World fans out there: the original 1976 AMC Pacer used in the movie has been fully restored... and it will now be auctioned.
During Barrett-Jackson's next Las Vegas event, buyers will be able to bid on the world's most recognizable Pacer. It might not have been perfectly restored—you can see that the stickers are not perfectly located on its flanks, and the car has a CD player now—but the original licorice dispenser is still there, as are the mounts for the cameras.
