Nice find for $400! Can't wait to see some pictures. What kind of work have you done and plan to do? My 86 Limited Wagon has had a lot of work under the hood put into it. Can't wait to finish it.

If you need any part for these cars there are members on here with loads of parts available. Welcome to the nest and the AMC Eagle hobby! :hello2:

here it is the day i picked it up, had some problems. the body is all straight except the drivers door and where my dad hit the front left corner by the headlight which broke the bezel and put a small dent. (it fared a lot better than his truck) all but one back door handles were broke so i welded some new ones out of steel so they'll never break again! The gauges by the shiftier didn't work(they ended up just being unplugged) the gas gauge didn't work, replaced sending unit with a sun-pro, and i still cant get the tach to work... as for the motor i rebuilt the carb just to be safe and everything works great and she runs strong and starts great even on cold mornings!!
