I don't know which I like more, the car or the owner. What a genuinely kind and loveable man.

[@tylerprescott3501]

That's probably the best Pacer in existence with the amount of quality work that guy put into it. I'm glad Jay got this guy and his car on the show. That's pretty cool.

[@iainmackenzie3704]

Warms the heart, billionaire and average Joe talking cars. Jay is an absolute legend of a human.

[@johnuhl3400]

This guy is awesome. Just a regular dude doing his thing. Tip of the hat to you sir!

[@hope6571]

You can see how experienced Jay is with people. He made jokes and the guy felt comfortable in no time with the camera etc. Really great presentation!

[@florianmessemer147]

i really like the owner..he has a really nice story why he loves the car...

[@pablojose4890]

There is nothing like blowing some fancy car off the road in a sleeper mobile. This Pacer Wagon is the ultimate sleeper.

I owned a 1978 Pacer Wagon (same color as this one too), it was handed down to me from my Parents. My kids always asked me to drop them off for school a couple blocks away from the school grounds. They never saw her beauty...but I did. I loved that car!

[@that70sschwinn]

It actually looks better now than it did in 1978😏🚘🏠

[@1977jed]

Being the owner of 12 Pacers, its great to see these unique lil cars finally getting some recognition....

[@paneraiferrari829]

I'm an Aussie, so I have no idea about these cars ... but when I first saw it i didn't think for one second it wasn't cool ... this is a very cool car :)

[@norton750commando]

I love the AMC logo colours on the valve covers. Sweet touch.

[@stevepearce6689]

When I think of the best type of American , this fellow is exactly that. Lovely man. Aussie Steve

This brings back a lot of memories for me. My parents bought a Pacer wagon new in '77 from Buckley's AMC Jackson Ohio. I remember they got a set of American Tourister luggage with the car. We were a military family so we traveled a lot. I saw America through those fishbowl windows.

[@SatansSpatula]

This is one of the best episode I've seen. The guy is extremely knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. Jay is obviously delighted and keeps doing his Pacer dance. Great stuff!

[@Butter615s]

My Dad was an AMC guy. We always had Ambassadors and Matadors. We made the move to Pacers in 1976 and had the first 1976 Pacer X in Little Rock. We had 4 Pacers over the years, ending with my Mom’s 1979 bright Red D/L wagon. We rebuilt the engine and transmission and lovingly cared for that car for 25+ years. Say what you will- we had few issues with the Pacers over the years. Love this one, Jay!

I have worked in the Used Car Businesses for 35 years. Back in the early 90's I had a red (don't remember if it was a factory color) sedan Pacer on the lot, that I had named "The Tomato", sold it to a frequent customer who was into quirky cars. He bought it for his 16 year old daughter. He did some minor mechanical and cosmetic work on it, and had all the windows tinted red, including a windshield strip with "The Tomato" on it.

[@OpenRoader]

These are my favorite episodes. Regular Joe's building/restoring cars that are not the same old thing. Of course, any time you triple the horsepower, that instantly makes it COOL 😎 NICE WORK!

[@earldeanpowell]

My mom's dream car. No blind spots and AMC paid for all repairs like five years? Important to a single working mom.

[@robertyorga]

"It took 41 years, but now this car is cool....."
