Group:



I am looking for nice, really clean, in either original, or restored to original configuration, AMC Pacers to photograph for an up-coming magazine article about them.



Also, there is a really nice looking '81 AMC Spirit on Ebay this morning

last time I was in Idaho Falls there was a guy there that had either three or four pacers, a couple of coups and station wagons, I'm pretty sure he said he'll sell the whole lot for $500.00

"The wide small car" (ad slogan from the time they were new)

The car was going to be used for the mars exploration team but it was to wide to fit on the rocket

Whew!  Only looking for pictures, fine. I thought for a split second that someone actually wanted the car.

Kind of like the Cousin It of Hudson lineage

I test drove one in the early eighties, didnt take long to find a place to do a U turn.

I actually saw one of these on the road about a year ago. It looked like a junkyard cat on life #9, but it was someone's daily driver.

Ugly car- handle like a sports car, went like a tank in the snow and had phenomenal steering.Nothing interchanged with their other cars. I have no idea what they were thinking when they made the Pacer to compete with their other cars.

I can’t imagine putting the Pacer as a design achievement on your resume!

Maybe the Gremlin?

A friend of mine had a Gremlin X and it was a pretty fun car for kids in High school. But a Pacer, never knew anyone that had one. A friends mom had an AMC Hornet

The Gremlin X with AMC 304 V8 wow

superwasp

V8 powered golf cart with a heater.

35 Terraplane

I car pooled with a guy who had one for a few years.  As I remember, it was a comfortable car to ride in.

In case you all were getting nostalgic for a Gremlin, here's a really clean one for sale. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

COOL!
Looks like it finished at $13K!

Clean, low mile cars command a good price on BAT.

BigSky

But a Gremlin..... that’s just pissing away money!

7XPacemaker

That’s what we all do, no matter the manufacturer!  It’s still worth more than my 112..

BigSky

I’d take your Pimped out 112 over the Gremlin any day!  ?

My father was a sales rep and was on the road a lot.  His favorite car to travel in was the Pacer station wagon.  He liked the ride and the big comfortable seats.   My wife and I had one also.  It was her work car and our family car.  Loved the seats and you could always find it in the parking lot.
