I concur with the observations of Prof. EBO and agree with the knowledge and education that is pervasive on this site. I recently had the opportunity to look at a 96 "collector's edition" for a friend of mine. It was : 
 
Wrong color (not a CE), average repaint, lots of spider cracks, leaking shocks, several oil leaks and seals needing replacing, antennae did not work, damaged fiberglass and frame dent underneath, cracked roof panel, worn seals around the windshield, etc. It ran well, had plenty of power, and could dazzle with the acceleration .... yet  
 
My friend was very interested in buying until I gave it the once over top & bottom. Brought my ramps and we jacked it up for full underside evaluation. My knowledge and information awareness from this site was invaluable in the assessment.

I'm surprised they haven't claimed it to have once been owned by Mickey Rourke or someone.....yeeeesh!

Maybe Jon Voight?

Also, is this an individual selling it, or a dealer?  Notice the photo of the steering wheel shows a key tag that is usually only found on dealer cars.

Non-Pacer rims.
Looks like the cowl area has waaaaay too much sealer in it....like it's been repaired, or Bubba had a little roofing asphalt left from his last roofing job.
Shroud looks like it has been broken/repaired.
No plug wire shielding.
Vac lines and EGR valve painted blue, along with other components that would not have been painted originally....and the EGR valve isn't even connected.

I wonder if someone had a wrecked/storm damaged Pacer, and found a "regular" '78 to put all of the Pacer interior into, and then have the car painted?

Something stinks in Denmark.....and I can smell it allllll the way over here!Dead


I just e-mailed the seller with some questions.....with 1 hour left on the auction....Evil Smile Tongue

I'm sorry Dan, but I must warn you...this IS a family friendly site. Please refrain from posting such disgusting photos. I'll let it slide this time, but....I'm watching you....

I do have to admit that I went back and cleared my cookies after downloading those pics. I wouldn't want those scandalous photos to come back and  haunt me....
 
LMAO Ebo started it......he said he is growing " fond of Pacers"......
 
I do think its a sickness.
 
All we can do is be there for our friend ebo.....
 
I still love ya brother even if you have a Pacer fetish.........
