I just found out my eagle is very close to end of life (Frame is rotted out) 

I think i'll be in CT this summer for a wedding.  Is this vehicle still available?

Yes it is.  I haven't touched it since I posted the ad.  Working on it this spring never happened, so the condition/status hasn't changed.  Let me know when you will be around and you are welcome to come look at it.

Bump to check interest again.  Nothing has changed and it's taking up space in my driveway.  I am planning on buying a truck in the near future and it's time for the Eagle to go.

I'm still interested in it, but it'd have to be back together. And depending on my cash situation in the upcoming future. If things work out the way I want them it might happen/

Where was this located again?

Located in zip code 06076, northeast CT.  I was planning to work on it a bit in the next few weeks, but it definitely won't be ready for the road. I'm probably not going to put new tires on it this year.    Also, just to clarify, it is "together" but needs some work to make it roadworthy.

Any trips I make down that way across the border would be in the semi-distant future anyways. I'm waiting to see if a settlement pans out for me so I can plan around that :)

1 Month bump. 

I would like to sell the car before winter.  Make me an offer and come get it.

Prudence Island RI

Wife from CT lived there some 20 years.

Where in NE CT are you and how much work would it take to make road worthy?

My brother and good friend woring on a do over on my wifes 1980 Kammback, it would be nice to know she had a safe good Eagle for winter!

Can you either post inside pictures or send to [email protected], please?

Thanks

Stafford Springs, 06076

It will definitely need tires.  The ones on it hold air but are not road worthy.  They are cracked and dry rotted pretty bad. 

The carb/choke needs some adjustment still, but it does run.

The Drive shaft yokes and output seal, as mentioned in my original post need, to be changed and and are included.

The TC skid plate is off still because the TC actuator was FUBAR and I haven't locked it in 4WD or 2WD yet.  The front actuator is disconnected and isn't locked in.  Both are easy to fix.

There are a couple interior trim panels that are off still from fixing some of the crappy wiring from the PO.  The drivers seat has the usual lean from the bottom frame being broken.  The sliders/rails are fine, just the seat frame is broken.  The PO tried to put it back together with sheet metal screws which didn't work so well.

 All the critical safety stuff has either been replaced or repaired (clutch hydraulics, entire brake system, e-brake, clutch and pressure plate etc.).

Other than that it is in really good shape for its age.  The paint isn't pretty, but the body is solid. I haven't started it since last year about this time.  If you want to come see it you are welcome to, but I'm not going to unwrap it just to take pictures as it is packed up nicely for winter already.

A friend of mine lived in Stafford Springs for some years, back in the 90's and 80's.
When you get off what is now called rt84 use to be called rt86 till they connected the nowhere highway through east hartford.
Rt86 was then changed to rt 84, never understood the numbering system there, but how close to 190 or first gas station off highway are you?

I'm actually on the other side of town.  Right near where 190 and 33 meet.
