1977 AMC Pacer X
Hi there!
I'm reluctantly selling this highly optioned 1977 Pacer X. We recently moved from somewhere with plenty of room for our cars to somewhere with very little, and parking and storage was one of the sacrifices. The car was in a dry climate for almost all of its life and also largely garaged, so it's not right for it to now be in my driveway in the rain and elements here. If I had the room I would not sell this Pacer. This is a really great original car.
The Good: Color is the beautiful Robbins Egg Blue. It has the 258-6 engine and 75, 000 miles on the odometer, which I believe to be original. The car has the rare rally pack and all gauges work. It also has the factory tachometer and it works too. All the glass is good (thankfully... these windshields have become impossible to find!). Engine is in great shape and it runs awesome. NO SMOKE. Recent compression check showed all was great. It's been a well maintained car and you'll be able to tell that. The engine bay is incredibly clean. The interior is also in great shape. The blue leather seats are in nice shape and have no tears that I've found. These wheels are also the best looking that came on the Pacer, in my opinion. One other interesting thing about this car... I've owned a lot of Pacers and every one of them has had firewall rust. . but not this one! Underneath the car is also remarkably spotless. You can tell this car came from the dry climate of the Southwest. Fortunately the previous owner had garaged it and taken care of the interior plastic and the dash, which usually suffer in the Southwest. Really a beautiful Pacer.
The Bad: Full disclosure is that it has a clicking noise going on from the front of the transmission. The car shifts fine right now when driving, it's been like this for quite some time, but over time I'm told it will likely need to be looked at. Who knows when, could be fine for a while. A mechanic said to just keep driving it. It's not hard to find a Pacer transmission, which is the way I was going to go, but as I stated above I really don't have the space for the car anymore anyways and its time to pass it on. I've seen them on here and elsewhere for a few hundred bucks, plus installation costs. No doubt it car would be worth a lot more if it weren't for this issue.
The car isn't brand new and there are signs of age, but it's a great original Pacer for someone who appreciates these cars. Here are some smaller things of note, I just don't want anyone to be surprised:
There are scratches and paint imperfections, which is to be expected.
Each of the door panels have one crack.
The drivers side window doesn't go down as easily as it used to.
AC could use a charge.
Rear wiper doesn't seem to work.
One of the taillights has some cracks, but it functions fine.
Two small tears in the carpet (I'm including a new carpet set with the car, but the tears are really quite small)
The car is pretty amazingly rust free, but on the rear valence beneath the rear bumper some light rust is peeking out (see picture).
I added as many photos as eBay allows (24). If you aren't local I'm happy to work with your shipper. If you are local feel free to come and see it. Yes, it has a clear title. Please do not bid unless you are serious about purchasing the car. The Pacer is to be paid for and picked up within three days of auction close. Car sold AS IS. This is a great car that deserves a home that will appreciate it. Don't hesitate to shoot any questions and I'll try to answer promptly.
Good luck and happy bidding!
