Very nice. I look forward to seeing what MO Eagle you bought. I've got my eye on every Eagle posted in my state! :)

thanks guys, here is the first eagle i bought, 81 sx/4...valves were stuck because it had been sitting for years, bent about 6 rods trying to get it going again, but it runs great now!



this is the one i got from mo a few weeks ago...underside is in great shape, almost no rust at all...



and the one i picked up last weekend...this one has a few rust issues underneath...not beyond saving, but it will definitely take some work...the inside is a goldmine of spare parts though...

Awesome...I think I remember seeing that SX/4 on the CL in MO. If I remember correctly it was being sold as a parts car and was pretty cheap.

i actually picked it up from a guy here in town...he apparently rebuilt the motor, had the tranny rebuilt, both of which have less than 2k miles on them (although the thing has been sitting for a few years since)...
