84 Eagle Wagon - Denver - whatcha need?
« on: January 14, 2014, 10:19:53 AM »
There is an 84 Eagle that just showed up in the junkyard in Denver, I'm going to investigate it later this week.  I assume its a wagon but don't know for sure.  If there is something you need, please let me know and I'll check it out.  Thanks.

I need some good visor mounts/rods. I'd prefer metal ones, but if they are plastic and unbroken I'd take them.

My hood release cable broke during the recent super cold snap

I'm now a vice grip puller.....

If there is one that would be great!

Sounds like you just need the rods/mounts, and not the visors, correct?

Do you just mean the standard front skid plate?  I usually find those on Eagles in the junkyard, although it would be $$ to ship.

Correct. I have good spare visors.

Its the optional one I want; the one that goes kinda under the steering linkage and forward from there.  Those seem hard to come by.

Yes, I'm not sure I've ever seen one of those!

looking for  a speaker grill from the rear for a wagon in not broken shape. Color unimportant as I can paint. Also a rear wiper arm for wagon.

Dave, I need a front seat belt latch. The one that bolts to the floor and latches to the belt. If it's honey, that would be awesome, but I would take any color right now.

I've already messed up so much asking for things.. Just you being able to keep an eye out is great. Kammback interior always needed in black..

So I checked out the Eagle in the junkyard today.  It was definitely a well-worn wagon, and its taken more than its share of abuse once it got to the junkyard.  I was able to pull a lot of the parts people wanted - PMs will be sent to all.  In addition, I picked up some desirables like rear hatch hinges, rear defroster switch, and intermittent wiper switch and module.

Pretty nice woodgrain on this side.  Notice the bent hood, more to come on that later



This is what happens when someone forces the hood open without releasing the latch



Obviously this side was in the sun for the last umpteen years - faded woodgrain
