2021 Market Review - Chrysler Pacer/Charger 770 V8/E38/E49/E55
A shortage of competition-spec Chargers in the recent market has made life brighter for anyone wanting to unload a V8-engined 770. These Chargers have plenty of frills and often come with alloy sports rims like the E-prefix cars.

Early ones had a 5.2-litre, later models the 5.9-litre, 360 V8 or you may choose to track down a very rare 5.5-litre E55. Excellent 770s cost way less than the cheapest six-cylinder ‘Bathurst’ version and will still score you lots of ‘Hey Charger’ salutes.
A couple of E49s were recently offered at realistic money but no E38s. Pacer prices are up but have a long way to go before matching the current cost of a GTR Torana.
Why Pacer Hardtops have jumped ahead of sedans is a mystery, because the four-door E34 was always regarded as the better handling version.
