| 312. Bob Brandys shared these photos of the Pacer he recently restored.
He said: "This pacer belonged to Dave Hooper of Canada. I bought it from him and redid the body, floors, paint, windshield, painted the interior. It has 28,000 miles according to Dave. Was 33,000 km. I put in a US speedo and reset it to 000000."

| 313. "I just had to send you pics of my '76 D/L that I just finished restoring. All my friends think I am nuts! But, all of us Pacer People are used to hearing that. I purchased the car in 1999 from a coworker's mother in Morro Bay, California. It was on a ranch down there all of its life. It made the drive up to the San Francisco Bay area leaking every fluid that you could imagine. Anyway, thought I would share a few pics with you." -Craig Agnew

| 316. "We live in Vienna, Austria, in the heart of Europe. Last night we drove home, and near my flat a strange yellow car was parked. Today we went out and took photos of it and asked friends what it could be. Finally we found out that it was a AMC Pacer. American cars are rare here, especially old ones. We followed some links and came to your homepage. The Pacer is registered in southern Austria (Spittal/Drau = political district, Carinthia = state) and seems to be in good condition." -Christian & Dani

| 318. "After years of prodding my best friend's father-in-law to sell me his '77 Pacer wagon, he finally called me and I was able to purchase it. That was in 1998. The car had the usual rust areas and the bodywork was completed in early 2000. The car has 57,000 miles. The interior was nearly spotless except for the carpet which will be part of an interior detailing project. Recently I was finally able to find a set of AMC rims which really has changed the overall look of 'Suavito.'" -Albert Leemhuis
