jyagnd's 1981 AMC Eagle

My 1981 AMC Eagle SX4 Sport
i Purchased in 2002 from a nice guy in Kentucky. After Years Of looking for one in decent shape and full of options :)
the car needed alot of cosmetic tlc when i got it.

The Car was in great shape with no rust or rot whatsoever
Except for the god awful faded brown throw up color interior

the car loved to stall on left turns all the time every time! i got sick of tinkering with the carb all the time So I updated the engine with a 92 jeep mopar fuel injection kit in 03.
took a day or 2 all the parts bolted right in gotta love AMC all the cars shared everything :)

this was my 83 Eagle wagon sport. Shame it looks so good!
it was totally rotted under from front to rear
so it also supplied my SX4 with a select drive trans(after Rebuild)as well as other parts that were salvageable.

This is my first car back in 88 Sold it in 94 :(
An 83 Eagle sx4 5 speed with 3 inch lift, 31 inch bfg tires, and low rage Jeep Cj transfer case.
the lift was custom made lowing the front diff 3 inches with brackets and blocks in the rear.

I've always liked these cars. BTW, you're in Coram?! I've never seen this beast around town. We definately need to meet up, I'd love to see this beast in person.

Hi Chris, I would have to say your ride is my favorite on all of Cardomain. I would buy your car in a heart beat! The color, styling options is what I have always wanted in a car! Someday I will have one pretty much like yours! For now though I have an ancestor to the AMC's and Jeeps. A '54 Willys Wagon 4x4 Check it out an rate it if you would. Have a good one and enjoy your baby! ~Angel
