	241. Adam Giguere submitted this image of a "riced-out" Pacer. Submitted 28 February 2001.
	242. "Here's a picture I scanned of a Pacer keychain that once held they keys to the '77 wagon my mom used to own. The leather is a little worse for the wear, but you can see that it's a '77 wagon depicted on the metal. My guess is that it came with the car when the original owners bought it." -Jason Bowler Submitted 4 March 2001.
	243. "Here's a photo of my Pacer right where it was when I found it in Oklahoma last summer. It's got four on the floor and runs like new with only 66,000 miles and we spread mirth and frivolity wherever we go." -Jon Eisen, Glendale, California Submitted 31 March 2001. Jon sold this Pacer in mid-2002, and his next Pacer is pictured here.
	244. Bart Durden of Stockbridge, Georgia submitted these photos of his '76 Pacer. Submitted 5 April 2001.
	245. "Well, here is my nearly complete 1976 former Pacer / DL. It took six cars to build this one aside from all the modifications to the sub-frame & chassis. The engine is a 468 cu. in. big block chevy, with a th350 auto trans, and a narrowed 9" Ford rear. In some respects I don't feel too badly about the other-than-AMC parts, because AMC used ford starting systems and Chrysler drivelines. The 232/252 were much like a chevy six cyl. Now that should get a scream from all the AMC purest buffs! I apologize. The car should (I hope) make the Northwest AMC gathering in August 2001. "Stats: AMC Pacer 1976 Coupe 454 cu. in engine bored, 60k miles TH. 350 Transmission (shift kit) 9" Ford narrowed posi rear (3.70 gears) Tubbed 40 inches of tire on the ground (Mickey Thompsons) Roll bar Full interior/ 6 way leather power seats PPG Paint / Tangerine Pearl Translucent Graphics by John Race (free hand) "I have already taken many jest filled statements. No one can believe it's a street car. This car was built for under $10,000 dollars. In today's hot rod market it is practically unbelieveable. I'm amazed more people haven't found there way to these little wide boys! They offer comfort, style, stability, visibility and you can design anything you want wagon, pickup, convertible or coupe. Best of all it not a Ford or Chevy, which are in abundance. I know; I also have other street rods. By the way, in 1975 I bought my first Pacer, in Old Bridge, NJ -- cost $3500." -Robert in Spokane, Washington Originally submitted 1 May 2001. 29 July 2001 Update: "Just a follow up on my Pro-Street Pacer. It is now complete, and I have won several awards with it at some local shows and was invited to bring it to a show put on by Sears, in north Spokane, WA. I've also been selling parts from the six Pacers it took to build mine. To assist in recalling my car it is a 1976 formerly a D/L-model coupe. It is now powered by a 468 cu.in Chevrolet Big Block, backed by a TH-350 trans, and a narrowed 9'in Ford posi-rear end. I have 40 inches of rear tire on the ground. The paint is PPG-Tangerine Pearl Translucence, the graphics are done by a local artist, the paint and interior by me." -Robert 8 November 2001 Update: "Just a little more information: We took it to the AMC Northwest Nationals, Everett, WA and won second place in the custom class and first place in most unique. All voting was done by people's choice! Plus, at Coeur D' Alene, ID, we won first place once again people's choice. The car is great fun for everyone!" -Robert
	246. Tom Foster submitted this photo of a '75 D/L with only 36,000 miles. Submitted 15 July 2001.
	247. "Here's a drawing I did a year or so ago. Just notice the Pacer nose in the corner. Sorry this one is so crooked and out of square, the copier operator mussed it in the reduction process I figure. I also have a few other drawings on the net, at cinematour.com, type my last name in the search box and they should come up. These are better than this one in reproduction quality." -Keith Bryson Submitted 19 July 2001.
	248. "We had seven Pacers at the recent meet [2001 SE Regionals]. As is our usual practice, we posed in the courtyard of the buildings adjacent to the parking lot in which the show was held. From left to right, they are: 'Sunshine' owned by Bobbie Mistretta Lew King I missed the owner's name on this one '77 wagon owned by Glenn and Rita Allen 'Sweet Pea' owned by the late Dave MacClinchy, brought by son Todd 'Zippy' owned by Bud Turner My Pacer #4" -Glen Hoag Posted to the AMC Pacer mailing list 6 October 2001.
	249. David Whisler submitted these photos of his Pacer. Submitted 10 October 2001.
	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.
