The Photo and Image Archives

250. Bastian Bornemann submitted these photos of their perfect red Pacer, one of five Pacers they own. (See their other entry in the archives to see photos of three of their other Pacers.) Said Bastian: "Perhaps you're interested in our newest project. Well, first we just wanted to change the transmission on our '76 Pacer hatchback. It is perfectly painted in maple red, with maple red interior. it had the 258 cui 6 inline with non-overdrive transmission. The engine ran perfectly, but the transmission didn't wanted to stop the car when we wanted, lol. So, the car waited for about 2 years without driving. About 2 years ago we found a '78 pacer V8 in silver/red. the body was so rusty I have never seen it before, but the engine ran like new. So we took the red Pacer and the silver one, and....??? Silver V8+ red 258 = 1976 perfect Pacer 304 V8, the only one in Germany, ha! You can see it for yourself on the pics. We didn't just changed the transmission... the complete underside is painted, matching the body's color." Submitted 2 November 2001.
