Ron's Pacer 1
Ron's Pacer 2
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

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
Expo Pacer
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

Kyle Bedwell's Pacer Wagon
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

111. Brian Parrish submitted this piece of Pacer artwork... a comic of sorts. Brian used to own a Pacer, but turned it in for an AMC Spirit GT. He's a true AMC buff!

114. "Pictures of the two 1978 rare V-8 Pacers (coupe and a wagon) that I was going to purchase. Their owners are very nice people, saying they don't want to get rid of the cars unless they sold them to me. I assured them if I got my hands on their cars I'd take the best care of them and never let them end up in a junk yard. They thought I was dedicated to the Pacer, which I am. Unfortunately since they live in Oregon and I live in New Jersey I had to let these go." -Shaun Boyd

Christophe Salvaing's Pacer
119. "When I was young my family lived in Paris and my father bought a Pacer for my mother. I remember the first time when I saw it: I was at school in Geneva and my mother come to pick me up with it. That was the 'Revolution' ;-) One year ago I saw a Pacer in the street and I'd completey forgotten this car. I'm looking for ads and found 10. I bought it in Deauville (Normandie) only 10000 francs ($2000). I've found Pacer book on AMC list. Parts are available in France (where the car has been imported for 5 years) and in Switzerland. I sent you a picture of it! (still with Belgian licence plates)." -Christophe Salvaing

Mauri's Pacer
Mauri's Pacer
122. "I am very happy to announce that I just bought one!!! It is a '77 all stock, in white with a blue interior. The guy I bought it from totally restored it.

"I first saw it around town (Cranbrook, BC), and I couldn't belive how mint it was, and one day I saw it parked in front of a house so I asked my girlfriend who was with me at the time to put a note on pacer to see if he would sell it. (I asked her to place the note from fear that some one would think I was trying to steal it, it's less intimidating that way). Anyhow, he called and said he would sell it, I went and had a look at it and it was amazing, the owner was an older man in his late 70's and he had done everything on it, plus he had a parts car. At the time we were driving around in a beater - 82 'VW Scirocco', which was driving us broke, every week it was something new that would break down on it, it even broke down on the highway on Christmas Eve. I put out an ad for it, the ad came out on Monday, I sold it on friday and bought the Pacer Saturday.

"We took it for a long drive and we love it. I am making a new dash console to fit my CD player. I am halfway done already." -Mauri

Hamburg Pacer
124. This is "a black-and-white photo of a shiny black AMC Pacer, although it's *sigh* not my own. I fell in love with the Pacer when I was visiting Florida as a five year old. Years later I saw a Pacer in my home town, Hamburg. I did not waste a minute, took a picture and never had to make awful drawings again when asked what my favourite car was. Now I'll refer people to the Pacer page...

"BTW: I never watched Wayne's World (shame on me), but that's because nobody told me it features a Pacer! ;)" -Alexander Svensson

Mudd's Pacer
125. "Just wanted to share the good news with someone!!! I got myself a '77 Pacer wagon! Yeahhhhhh..." -Mudd
