	251. "My name is Mike, and I'm from the Netherlands. Since October 2001, I'm a Pacer driver too. It's the best car i've ever had, it drives so smoothly and relaxing. Mine's a 3.8 sedan automatic from 1975. It's an original Dutch car, and I'm the third owner of it. The Pacer has run about 75,000 miles and was almost completely restored in 1995. It has an automatic gearbox at the steering wheel, power steering, a roofrack, an AM radio and a back window wiper. "The car is in marvelous shape. When I drive around town everybody glares at me and askes questions about the car. Even the ones who don't like it at first start liking after a spin around the block. I took a picture with a webcam; that's why it looks a bit bad. Oh, by the way, this car has starred in a commercial for a cellular phone provider called BEN. I'm still trying to get the video." -Mike van Hoof Submitted 8 November 2001.
	252. "I am enclosing photos of a car I recently rescued from the crusher. I am not really into Pacers but this car was in just too good of shape to be crushed. It has 64,000 original miles, the interior is near mint, everything works, and is original, it has a delivery date of 3-20-76, vin # A6A667A299935 delivered to Michael S Frommer, 29 Hubbard St, Chicago, IL. It still has factory warranty, owner's manual, warranty record, jack and spare. This car is in excellent shape, needing only tires, brakes, and a new driver's side door striker. It's practically still a new car. I do not have a title, as in GA 12 years and older it is not required." -Daniel Forsyth Daniel was offering this Pacer for sale when he submitted these photos on 30 November 2001.

	254. "I first got this car when I was 16. I bought it for $200 with a bad clutch. So I put a clutch in it, and that was my very first car, and I loved it. To be the only one in town to own a '77 AMC Pacer wagon... It had a 258 six-cylinder four-speed with centerlines all the way around with a 3:55 posi init and traction bars. I drove it for about 8 weeks and then I was on my way to a family reunion and came around a corner and went into a bean field and rolled 3 times. I was heartbroken that the only pacer in town had been totaled and was not fixable. I went to the hospital, and after I got out I saw my car on the tow truck, and I lost it. I could not take it that my car was gone. Then some lady came up and asked me what year it was. When I told her she asked me if I wanted to buy another one; only it was a '79 coupe. So we exchanged phone numbers and went our own ways. 2 weeks went by and I called her, and she told me to come up and look at it. So I did, and I came to find out her dad bought it when it was new, and it had been sitting in a garage for 10 years and it was perfect. She said she would take $800 for it, so my dad and I got down to $400 and that is what we bought it for. And now I am in the process of putting a 454 big block Chevy in it." -Chad Baldwin Submitted 29 December 2001.
	255. Jeremy Poole submitted this photo of his Pacer, taken just after he finished restoring it. Submitted 2 January 2002.
	256. "This is a 1975 Pacer, original everything (except of course, tires). Originally purchased in Southern California, now resides in the San Francisco Bay area. 3-speed on the column. The guy who bought and cleaned it up wanted $5000, I offered $4000 and we had a deal. Kind of funny since I also have the original window sales sticker--the car was priced at $4200 brand new!" -Kim McMaster Submitted 16 January 2002.
	257. "I would like to fix it up for recreation or maybe the next driver. He'll be due for license in 3 years. Might make a good crash dummie tester." -Nathan Welch Posted to the AMC Pacer mailing list on 17 January 2002.
	258. "This is our 1978 D/L Pacer situated in Haarlem, The Netherlands. I was told that it was made for the European market back then, but I don’t know for sure. We still have to fix it on some points but within the near future we’ll be speeding the Dutch highways." -Rene van Stekelenborg Submitted 18 January 2002.
	259. "This is my memory of a Pacer. I'm from the Netherlands and in a small country as this is, is was spectacular to have a car like a Pacer. But as teenagers (my sisters and I) we were embarrased to be picked up at school with this car. Can you imagine? My parents owned two Pacers in the '70s. This yellow one and a brown metallic one. They sold both of the cars, and I still regret it. I'm hoping that one day I could have a Pacer, but they are very rare in Europe. But you can never tell." -Cheriette Submitted 31 January 2002.
	260. "Today I bought an AMC Pacer X from 1975. A car in a good condition. Difficult to find in the Netherlands, but anyway I have one. In real life, it even looks better." -Jan Jaap Kuiper Submitted 2 February 2002.
