	101. "This is absolutely amazing that I found these Pacer pics. Ron Chandonia has a public service offering free 'Consistent Life Ethic' bumper stickers. Now, when I saw this site, I immediately requested one for the Pacer, as these are causes I emphatically support, even though ol' Ron and I are on FAR different sides of the political (and even religious: I'm Lutheran, he's, um, humanist) spectrums: as witnessed by my other bumper stickers!! I told him about the Pacer and he said he had one once...I emailed him a link to your site, and...I'll let Ron tell the story: "WOW! A Pacer page?!? And it looks great. And there are other ones too Never, ever would I have thought to search for a Pacer page, but it was sure fun to find one. "Our '75 Pacer was itself hard to find back in '74 when we bought it. It was one of those "car of the future" cars, and so I decided to go with the only color in stock, baby blue, when we really wanted something sportier. (We traded in a very well-worn '69 "Big Bad Orange" Javelin.) The baby blue was the least of that vehicle's problems. Mileage was the real killer, and by the time it met its fate, we were stopping to get gas on our way to buy gas. "Our few pictures date to its days as a new Javelin. I'm attaching a couple, one of me and my wife and our older son (he's a biophysicist now) standing by the car's side, the other of that same son enjoying the hatchback. (In that picture, the dealer tag is still on the car.) "Thanks for a trip through some fond memories. "Ron can be reached via his website. If you're interested in the bumper sticker, regardless of your other beliefs, follow the link under 'Beliefs' to Consistent Life Ethic page. And you can check out the rest of Ron's site, too... interesting fella." -Tim Hansen
	102. Jerijan Baldwin's impressive collection of Pacer toys and memorabilia.
	103. "These are pictures of my '76 Pacer that I rescued from certain death in a junkyard near Sampson County. It is Bamboo Yellow, but I am thinking about changing the color. Any ideas? I hope to send you some 'after' pictures once I get a title for the car." -Douglas Little
	104. "Here is a picture of one of my pacers. It is a 1975 Pacer X and was the first Pacer in Holland, Europe. It was flown in by plane to be on a car expo. It was equipped as a rescue car. I will send you [another] photo if I can find it At that expo I saw the pacer for the first time and, as a lover of rare cars, I liked it. At that expo, 25 Pacers were sold. The years after only a few more followed. Surprise, surprise... I found that same car of the expo and bought it in 1978. A year later, on a boring Saturday, we put a saw in it and gave it a paint job. In the picture you can see the result. It ever reach 'drivers rides' in the magazine TRUCKING in a 1980 issue. I still own the car and am planning to restore it." -Michiel Vanderpuijl
	105. Tim Hansen fetched this pic from the Classifieds2000 web site in April 1998.

Hatchback Cassette Player Station Wagon Two Door Manual Transmission Description 4-speed, gauge package, air shocks Editor's Note: I've removed the seller information, since the car's most likely been sold by now.
	106. "Here's two more pacer pictures for your archives. The green one is just another picture of my junker and the kid is me also. I am planning to restore it with high performance parts. I don't know much about the yellow one. A friend gave me the picture." -Brandon Ankeny

	109. "Kimric's Pacer camp setup at Nevada's 'Burning Man festival' in the middle of the Black Rock Desert." -Steve Mobia
	110. "This picture is of me and my '77 wagon at the hot rod power tour's stop in Joliet, IL. I got tons of comments on the car, mostly wanes world stuff, but some people actually gave me real compliments. Right now, my Pacer has the 232 with the automatic transmission. What you can't really see is the slick cow seat covers. "However, I have some sad news. My grandparents gave me their old car for my graduation ('89 Plymouth Acclaim) it only has 35,000 miles on it so it has become my daily driver. My Pacer is now parked and waiting for me to restore it to better than new condition." -Kyle Bedwell
