Just Like the Title says.....
about a Month ago we went to go look at a MGB at the local storage barn less then a mile down the road. We went and in the corner of my eye The first thing I see is the pacer! On our way to go look at the MG we had to walk by the pacer.... That was a mistake. we looked at the mg and on our way out we took a closer look at the wagon... To see it is a 258 4 speed wagon woodgrain. we didn't think much of it but on our way out we figured we would get the guys number. We called him and he is 84 years old and at one time owned 47 pacers here in Vermont. He got rid of everyone of them except of this one and put drove this one into the storage barn in 1988 and has paid $50 a month to just keep it there and if you add that up it is $15,000 .....
Now the car........
Exterior : car is a orig. Colorado car. original paint. There is dents,scrapes , scratches and lots of fading but that's just patina. Floors and frame are all PERFECT everybody panel is great!! there is a little bit of rust on the passenger side quarter below the woodgrain behind the wheel. There is also a little bondo on the roof near the hatch.
Interior: ALSO VERY VERY nice, He kept blankets on the seats and everything on the inside is very very nice.
plans for the car:
1:Get it running -New cap , Rotor , fuel Pump ,coil ect.
2: New Tires
3: rebuild front and rear brakes
4: Give to body shop for them to restore the finish on the paint
5: drive the heck out of it, we stil can not believe how orig. it is.
We ende up buying it for $500
