	133. "I found these Pacers in a junkyard about half an hour west of Fargo, ND. I stopped there to grab some free license plates and brought my camera along. They may still be there, I don't know." -Tim Hansen
	134. "The [Pacer Page Pacer] and Emily in front of the now-closed-up building by the doors where all the Pacers ever made exited the factory to begin their round little lives." -Tim Hansen Editor's Note: I wonder how many Pacers have made this special pilgrimmage back to their birthplace.
	135. "Miscellaneous pics of the sights of Kenosha, including my vendor display and a mint 50k mile original '75 Pacer in bronze, for sale at $1600. Nice, but I'd like a few more options." -Tim Hansen
	136. "This is a 28,000 mile (or was it actual 2,800 mi?) original unrestored 1977 Pacer Wagon, quite possibly the nicest unrestored example of its type in the world. And again, a base model. Rather an uncommon thing with Pacers in comparison to the rest of the car hobby. It seems that only the most basic Pacers are the ones that are found in the best unrestored condition, whereas the '57 Bel Air kicked the crap out of its 210 counterpart for collectivity, and now, availability." -Tim Hansen
	137. "Last summer I FINALLY found that elusive Fourth Pacer at Prisk Auto. It's a red '75, and it's arguably the roughest of the four...only one with a broken window, trees growing through open doors just like the '78 Wagon, these cars have been there for over a decade. Does have a few good lenses and a saveable grille, + the remaining glass..." -Tim Hansen
	138. "Emily and the PX3 outside Burger King of Delavan, WI, enroute to the Transportation Homecoming Festival (Glen's U-haul trailer is back at my place)." -Tim Hansen
	139. "That same tan Pacer in [the] archives owned by Pat Petersen: I just bought this Pacer from an 86-year-old guy... It is a 1975 DL and has only 33,000 miles on it. It only sat outside 2 nights. Can you believe it? ....is pictured here with none other than the infamous Pacer Page Pacer at the AMC-list get-together at Ruffolo's Pizza in Kenosha. That 86-year-old-guy is none other than Fred Koos' grandfather, who still owned it at the time of the Kenosha event. Fred Koos is the president of Alamo AMC, the big AMO club in Texas and owner of multiple AMC vehicles." -Tim Hansen
	140. "In the summer of 1997, Eddie Stakes referred a gentleman in Evansville, WI to me to try to find him a new Pacer after an accident. He and his wife, longtime Pacer enthusiasts, had a pair of Pacer wagons, a '79 and an '80, which they had restored and painted identically. The 1980 one had an extensive rust-repair and bodywork restoration done on it, using the last known NOS left front fender. The '80 was unfortunately the one involved in the particularly nasty crash. As he and a friend were slowing down to turn into their driveway, a car hit them from behind and pushed them directly into the path of an oncoming Ford Ranger, which hit them at 50+ miles an hour. There was not much left. I took these photos as a last reminder of the Twins. The '79 soldiers on still, looking for a new brother. Has to be a '79 or '80 with a tan interior. I wish I remembered the owners' names. It's been quite a while since then." -Tim Hansen
	141. "You know that Car Talk article about that couple that fell in love because of his Pacer? Well, this is that Pacer. Its name is Zippy, as stated in the article, and Bud and Bobbie are really interesting people. At the swapmeet, they offered to buy the factory console straight out of Emily for $75. I said no. I like my console. I may sell it now, however, as I'm scratchbuilding a new one for it. This photo was taken at Andy's Drive-In, where much AMC iron was displayed during the KTHF." -Tim Hansen
	142. "Here's a shot of my Pacer wagon. I was able (at great personal expense) to save this brown wagon from an Austin dealer selling it to a certain death in a Mexican junkyard. It was worth every penny, though... It is the most fun car I've ever had!" -Laird "PacerFox" Wetzel
