That is AWESOME!
Everyone restores a Camaro, Mustang of the Bill Clinton variety, a '56 Chevy or a stoopid Chevelle. Those are boring because it seems that's the majority & that's fine, but, still equals no imagination.
An older AMC and the maligned Pacer to boot with a 401 that's restored = frickin' AWESOME! You don't see that everyday and it's not a cookie cutter car like those others I mentioned. It's rare to see a Mopar but even more rare to see an AMC, especially like this. Good Job!

It looks newly restored. This one also has a nice interior, very clean looking.

You shouldn't buy a lemon car.

@slant6guy I tend to agree. And it's not just the Pacer, but it's AMC as a whole that's been unfairly maligned over the years. I'm glad to see that some people are restoring these old cars and maintaining them, and driving them.

Nice looking car. I've always prefered the station wagon version of the Pacer than the sedan.

nowadays, you restore what you can get your hands on...i did a parade resto on a '71 catalina, 4 door. sweet!

That's a good looking Pacer! Take care of it!

@compukenny Same here...had a '65 Ambassador 990, a '74 Gremlin X, '76 Pacer D/L, '77 Gremlin and '78 Gremlin. All were good cars mechanically. The '65 Ambassador was a really solidly built car. It was also the only V8-powered car of the bunch; the rest had the sturdy AMC inline six.

Love it- like a big gooney puppy.
I know - it breaks my heart but it's still looking for a new home...

You are so right!!! I was finally able to buy the original AMC alloy wheels including the AMC center caps on Ebay. Will post new movie in a few days. Other things that were less than perfect have been fixed also. Plus a complete rebuild of te engine and transmission.
