Ep 7. AMC Pacer

Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead are back with another season of their hit car restoration show, Wheeler Dealers. In season 13 episode 7, they take on the challenge of restoring a 1975 AMC Pacer.

First, Mike and Ant travel to Michigan to meet with a seller who is offering them a Pacer that has been sitting in a barn for over 10 years. The car has a lot of rust and damage, but Mike sees potential in it and they make a deal to purchase it for $3,000.

Once they get the car back to their shop in California, Ant begins the teardown process. He quickly realizes that the rust is worse than they originally thought and that the car needs a full restoration. But, as usual, they are up for the challenge.

One of the standout features of the Pacer is its large windows and unique design. Ant loves the quirkiness of the car and decides to play up its retro vibe with a custom paint job that incorporates the original colors and logo of the AMC company. He also adds some modern touches, such as a sound system and LED headlights.

Mike is in charge of finding a buyer for the Pacer. He knows that the car is a bit of an oddity, but believes that its uniqueness could be a selling point. He advertises the car online and attracts the attention of a potential buyer who is looking for a show-stopping vehicle.

As the restoration nears completion, Mike and Ant take the Pacer for an test drive to make sure it is running smoothly. The car performs well, but they encounter some problems with the steering and decide to take it back to the shop to investigate further.

In the end, Mike and Ant are able to fix the steering issues and complete the restoration of the AMC Pacer. They reveal the car to the buyer, who is thrilled with the finished product. The duo are pleased with the outcome as well and feel like they have honored the unique design and history of the AMC Pacer while also giving it a modern twist.

Wheeler Dealers season 13 episode 7 is a must-watch for fans of vintage cars and restoration shows. Mike and Ant once again prove that they are a dynamic team who can take on any challenge and transform an old, rusty car into a show-stopping vehicle.
