This true "survivor" 1980 AMC Pacer station wagon was for sale in Boise ID on FB Marketplace.
It had 29,000 original miles and just had a complete service and tune-up and new tires, etc. Car was just driven to Idaho from Texas.
The original radio even had a built-in 8-track tape player. These had the AMC in-line six enginer that got about 110 hp and was very economical to run. 0-to-60 in about..." Yes, it would get their eventually ".
I was busying going to the bank to get cash and kept leaving the seller messages on FB.
When they finally replied, it was to tell me that 2 hours before in the morning, the new owner had come with cash and the sale was completed. Their ad was up for less than 1 day on F-B Marketplace.
My wife and I had one in the early 1980's for our college-car. It was a tank and reliable and no one wanted to steal it. Great for camping trips on a budget for students.
Thought it would be a fun run-around wagon for running local chores. Or heading out to the gold course with our club-bags.

It's so beyond hideous that it's beautiful. I loved AMC models (my dad had an Ambassador), and would love to own a Gremlin or an AMX (wasn't that the Golden Gun's car?).
