 | 251. "My name is Mike, and I'm from the Netherlands. Since October 2001, I'm a Pacer driver too. It's the best car i've ever had, it drives so smoothly and relaxing. Mine's a 3.8 sedan automatic from 1975. It's an original Dutch car, and I'm the third owner of it. The Pacer has run about 75,000 miles and was almost completely restored in 1995. It has an automatic gearbox at the steering wheel, power steering, a roofrack, an AM radio and a back window wiper. "The car is in marvelous shape. When I drive around town everybody glares at me and askes questions about the car. Even the ones who don't like it at first start liking after a spin around the block. I took a picture with a webcam; that's why it looks a bit bad. Oh, by the way, this car has starred in a commercial for a cellular phone provider called BEN. I'm still trying to get the video." -Mike van Hoof Submitted 8 November 2001. |
  | 252. "I am enclosing photos of a car I recently rescued from the crusher. I am not really into Pacers but this car was in just too good of shape to be crushed. It has 64,000 original miles, the interior is near mint, everything works, and is original, it has a delivery date of 3-20-76, vin # A6A667A299935 delivered to Michael S Frommer, 29 Hubbard St, Chicago, IL. It still has factory warranty, owner's manual, warranty record, jack and spare. This car is in excellent shape, needing only tires, brakes, and a new driver's side door striker. It's practically still a new car. I do not have a title, as in GA 12 years and older it is not required." -Daniel Forsyth Daniel was offering this Pacer for sale when he submitted these photos on 30 November 2001. |
    | 253. "Found your web site and thought you could you some rustic Canadian Pacers: 1975 Pacer (orange) - 6cyl-std, brown interior"Note that the rear bumper on the black Pacer is bolted upside down. All these vehicles and more our on our website listed below, and we'll sell parts or complete units." -Jeff Roblin of Roblin's Garage in Demorestville, Ontario, Canada Submitted 19 December 2001. |
  | 254. "I first got this car when I was 16. I bought it for $200 with a bad clutch. So I put a clutch in it, and that was my very first car, and I loved it. To be the only one in town to own a '77 AMC Pacer wagon... It had a 258 six-cylinder four-speed with centerlines all the way around with a 3:55 posi init and traction bars. I drove it for about 8 weeks and then I was on my way to a family reunion and came around a corner and went into a bean field and rolled 3 times. I was heartbroken that the only pacer in town had been totaled and was not fixable. I went to the hospital, and after I got out I saw my car on the tow truck, and I lost it. I could not take it that my car was gone. Then some lady came up and asked me what year it was. When I told her she asked me if I wanted to buy another one; only it was a '79 coupe. So we exchanged phone numbers and went our own ways. 2 weeks went by and I called her, and she told me to come up and look at it. So I did, and I came to find out her dad bought it when it was new, and it had been sitting in a garage for 10 years and it was perfect. She said she would take $800 for it, so my dad and I got down to $400 and that is what we bought it for. And now I am in the process of putting a 454 big block Chevy in it." -Chad Baldwin Submitted 29 December 2001. |
 | 255. Jeremy Poole submitted this photo of his Pacer, taken just after he finished restoring it. Submitted 2 January 2002. |
        | 256. "This is a 1975 Pacer, original everything (except of course, tires). Originally purchased in Southern California, now resides in the San Francisco Bay area. 3-speed on the column. The guy who bought and cleaned it up wanted $5000, I offered $4000 and we had a deal. Kind of funny since I also have the original window sales sticker--the car was priced at $4200 brand new!" -Kim McMaster Submitted 16 January 2002. |
 | 257. "I would like to fix it up for recreation or maybe the next driver. He'll be due for license in 3 years. Might make a good crash dummie tester." -Nathan Welch Posted to the AMC Pacer mailing list on 17 January 2002. |
 | 258. "This is our 1978 D/L Pacer situated in Haarlem, The Netherlands. I was told that it was made for the European market back then, but I don’t know for sure. We still have to fix it on some points but within the near future we’ll be speeding the Dutch highways." -Rene van Stekelenborg Submitted 18 January 2002. |
 | 259. "This is my memory of a Pacer. I'm from the Netherlands and in a small country as this is, is was spectacular to have a car like a Pacer. But as teenagers (my sisters and I) we were embarrased to be picked up at school with this car. Can you imagine? My parents owned two Pacers in the '70s. This yellow one and a brown metallic one. They sold both of the cars, and I still regret it. I'm hoping that one day I could have a Pacer, but they are very rare in Europe. But you can never tell." -Cheriette Submitted 31 January 2002. |
     | 260. "Today I bought an AMC Pacer X from 1975. A car in a good condition. Difficult to find in the Netherlands, but anyway I have one. In real life, it even looks better." -Jan Jaap Kuiper Submitted 2 February 2002. |
    | 261. John Jones submitted these pictures of a Pacer he was negotiating to buy on 11 February 2002. Unfortunately, the car was not in very good condition, and the seller was not very honest about it. The car has been in the shop much of the time since John purchased it. |

 | 264. "This is my first car I bought in December of 2000. I only paid $150 for it and it ran good. I have done some mods to it and now am wanting to sell it." -Matt Appleby Submitted 14 March 2002. |
    | 265. "Here is some pictures of my Pacer DL coupe, it just turned 40K orig miles last weekend." -Wade, Long Island, New York Posted to the AMC Pacer mailing list on 20 March 2002. |
    | 266. "I did run across some photos of my Pacer while updating it in the fall of '90 (it was originally constructed in '85), and scanned them. I thought you might be interested in the process of 'tubbing' a Pacer." -Harrel Lamkin Editor's Note: Harrel's Pacer is pictured in multiple other places in the archives: here, here, and here. Submitted 4 April 2002. |
 | 267. "I never finished it...not much to it. I drew it freehand in CAD using just a photo and a ruler." -Harrel Lamkin Submitted 4 April 2002. |
 | 268. An animated GIF 360-degree view of Colin Hadden's red early model coupe. Colin reported: "Still a few details to go before she is back on the road as my daily driver." Colin lives in the southwest UK. Submitted 29 April 2002. |
  | 269. "I bought this cute '79 Pacer Wagon Limited V8 -- very complete and runs beautiful. Was used as a daily driver in west London by a private detective. He spent a small fortune on servicing and new parts. However, on closer inspection it has a fair bit of rust, which I'm now working on, especially on the lower driver's side. This is a rare and very useable AMC, approx. 90,000 miles on the clock." -Colin Hadden Submitted 29 April 2002. |
 | 270. Colin Hadden has two Pacers, a Gremlin, and many other AMCs in his collection. Here's a photo of his two Pacers and Gremlin. Submitted 29 April 2002. |
 | 271. Stevie submitted this photo of his '77 Pacer wagon. It was for sale when he submitted the picture on 7 June 2002. Updated 10 March 2003: "A friend talked some sense into me that I should keep it. Since then, I've gotten in a car accident. One day on a slick road, there was a random stop of the cars on front of me. Going 60, you know how sucky Pacer brakes are. Well, due to the sheer mass I rear-ended a 1999 Kia Spectra and tore it all to ****. I took some pictures of the accident site, but at current cannot find them. I will send them soon. "Anyway, The right side of the Pacer clipped the left of the Kia (it hit the car and kept on going), and the hook-like protrusion on the back bumper ripped the Kia door open and flattened the tire and busted a strut, among other things. It had to be towed from the site. The almighty Pacer (a.k.a. The Fantastic Death Machine) was OK. The front turn signal lens had a series of tiny cracks and the rear bumper was bent out straight. At home I removed the bumper and slammed it into the ground a few times and bent it back. Otherwise, I haven't done anything. "After the Kia got extensive body work and a trip to Wal-Mart for some new hubcaps, I saw it again, and it was looking good. It was a strange coincidence -- 30 miles from the accident site, and I was behind it again. You should've seen how fast it went at the green light! "No stories from the performance front. I beat a Nissan 240 something, but lost to a V6 camaro the same day." -Stevie |
          | 272. Jeremy's perfect '76 Pacer. Submitted 10 June 2002. |
 | 273. "This is Dick Teague's own customized Pacer pickup truck. This truck was customized to show AMC brass the Pacer could be used for a variety of purposes including a utility vehicle. The car last I heard is still in the Daryl Starbird Collection, who is one of the legends of customizing like Barris, his museum is located in Oklahoma, and he designed the Spacer Pacer bubbletop car also shown in your photos. Neither are for sale, display only." -Eddie Stakes Submitted 12 June 2002. |
 | 274. "This is a Mexican 1976 Pacer coupe from Mexico City that is equipped with the hard-to-find, was-not-available-in-the-US 282-6 cylinder engine. Owner Gerhard Gedrange, Jr. drove this wonderful vehicle to the Houston AMC Nationals in the summer of 2001. The car drew crowds all day, especially curious AMC fans who had never seen the south of the border 282-6. If there was a way to import these desirable Big AMC Sixes, there would be a huge demand for them. In fact any Auto Zones here in Houston stock most parts for the VAM 282-6." -Eddie Stakes Submitted 12 June 2002. |
 | 275. A Pacer owner in Germany submitted this photo of his 1976 Pacer X. Submitted 18 June 2002. |
