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

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.

Sounds like a great price even if it's an L48 automatic. Everything is slow right now, except for Barrett Jackson and Kruse.
