The Photo and Image Archives

	291. "I sold [my previous Pacer] a few months ago and I now have this one. A '76 Pacer X, 3-speed stick, 136,000 miles and still going strong. It spreads whimsy and monkeyshines on every journey. It was formerly owned by a kooky lady who worked for Hasbro toys, so she painted the headlight buckets, luggage rack and some of the chrome trim pink and turquoise. Cute, but we're in the process of correcting that." -Jon Eisen Submitted 1 September 2002. Jon later sold this Pacer and purchased this one.
	292. John Pryor modified the comic Pacer found in the archives at entry #43. "Note the added flames with the hood scoop," said John. Submitted 9 September 2002.
	293. "Here are some pics of a '77 Pacer X that I won on eBay. Looks pretty cool, huh? Still has the orginal 258, and I'm looking at dropping in a 390 just to get the performance up with the looks. This one is replacing my '76 Pacer DL that was stolen in CA. But first, the trip to OK to bring it home... I have decided to name it Jeni, after famous person who made the page..." -John Pryor Editor's Note: I'm very flattered! :) Submitted 9 September 2002.
	294. While on vacation with my husband in northeastern Arizona in the fall of 2002, I spotted this abandoned Pacer in a field next to Cake Chevrolet on Old Route 66 just east of Winslow, Arizona. As you can see, it's not the only orphan in this field. The tires are shot, and the car's full of junk, but it was registered as recently as '99 (see the license plate picture), which may mean it wouldn't take too much to get this little coupe running. Marianne Richardson wrote to tell me about this car, after I had seen it myself and taken these pictures, but before I had a chance to post them. Thanks, Marianne! Photographed 21 September 2002.
	295. "I just bought two 1976 Pacers for $300. Both run, but barely. Ever since I was a kid (I was 13 in 1976), I've wanted a Pacer. Now, being that my primary vehicle is a 2000 Cadillac Escalade, all of my friends, except one, think that I'm nuts to want to restore these Pacers. The D/L is the one that I've started on (needs a new water pump, oil change and tune up) and the X will be later on (unless I salvage it). The D/L needs a bit of interior, cosmetic work. I have to get the bloody, glued seashells off of the dash, but the engine looks and runs surprisingly good, being that it was ignored for so long." -Tonja Jackson Submitted 24 September 2002.
