Notes:
Currently painted Ember Red with Snow White, this 1958 Edsel Pacer convertible
is in overall solid and well working
condition. It runs great on a rebuilt engine and is free from smoking
and rattle. The carburetor is a new Holley 4bbl correct for the vehicle.
The automatic transmission shifts smooth and true. The frame is solid and
has no rust rot. The floor pans were replaced professionally providing a
solid underbody. The body is in good shape with only minor misalignment of
doors not closing flush and hood latch has small bend.
The chrome is solid and needs only a little polish. Suspension systems
hold well and provide a soft ride. The brakes have been rebuilt and
operate great. The wheels and tires are in great condition and have
plenty of tread wear left.
The interior has new seat coverings and carpet, but needs kick panels. The
wiring harness is new and all electrical systems work well, but the tachometer is
currently disconnected. The owner states that the convertible top is not
torn or ripped, but needs to be taken off the frame and reinstalled for better and
smoother operation. The paint is fair condition, but is free from dents or
waving. This vehicle only needs a few cosmetic upgrades to make for a true
showpiece. It makes for a great daily driver and is reliable as it is.
