Add another 1 on that odometer. Seriously one the best looking cars that AMC has made next to the Javelin and AMX.

Re: the Pacer, 103,000 miles is still not bad on a car that old. Probably be a good one to restore if you're into those. I've never thought the Pacers and Gremlins were as ugly as most people do. I think they're kind of cool to see in good condition on the street nowadays. I wouldn't want one for me but I do kind of like them in a nostalgic kind of way.

I figured the odo read 03771 so a 1 would make it 103771.

Greg, train wrecks are kinda cool to see but wouldn't want to be in one either.

I don't like train wrecks at all. I do kinda like Pacers and Gremlins...and Mavericks, Pintos and Vegas.

The Gremlin X with a V8 and a 4 speed were nothing to sneeze at. A friend of mine in Rochester, NY bought a new one in 73. That little car could move! He bought the Levies Gremlin X with blue paint and white stripes.

You don't see them very often, and I've seen none around here.

This 73 is fairly stock..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzRHyJe1Ynk

Here's A 74 X[?] on YouTube that is or was for sale.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_K9SVX6TjE Not sure I trust the owner or the guy selling it. LOL

That Firebird with the crap on it is so ugly I'm surprised it was allowed on Craigslist. That's enough to make ya puke. Give me a Pacer any day over that POS.

I know that sometimes the term "pink slip" is used to describe a title. In this case my guess is that he has no title but does have a pink slip of paper with some info on it, however, when (maybe I should say IF) you want to register the car you are out of luck.
I noticed that it has the super rare "flat" hood, though

This one would actually be pretty cool, if the price was right and it was a roller.
1955 Pro Street Pontiac Safari, motor is of no interest to most and it is way over priced.

This one is one is "This is identical to the GTO model"...ah, really? no endura, has 350..etc.etc.
