Saw a '78 Pacer go for $20K over the weekend. Auction from a private collection.
Had fewer than 200 miles on the odometer. 
That's, like, a NEW CAR!

Really depends on the condition. 200 miles, but sat outside for it's entire life?
200 miles, but was hit by a train?
Lot's of variables...need more info.
If it was in really great, 200 TRUE miles condition, it was a steal. Engine options(L48/L82), trans, and other stuff would make a huge difference, too.
An L-48, automatic with no available options? Prolly about what it's worth.
