I was browsing a post earlier and the topic of the last eagle off the assembaly line was brought up...The last one is accounted for. Im kinda curious if the first one...or 2 or 3...is in existence somewhere?

The first production model?   Hard to say if it was ever kept track of.  I know that Roy Lunn got an early one, but probably not the first one.

Does Mr.Lunn still own his Eagle? If not, I would consider it the first one anyways and it would be cool to track it down!

I don't believe so.  Perhaps, he really never did actually own it.  Could have actually been owned by AMC.
