1981 SX/4 for sale or trade $300
« on: June 01, 2015, 06:17:30 PM »
1981 SX/4 for sale/trade   --- for restoration or parts. Ran 5 years ago - put a brand new carb from guaranteed carbs online, a tune up and it started right up. Drove it around for a few weeks but unfortunately to get it to pass smog the exhaust needs to be replaced.  Sale as is - $300 cash OBO please. Would consider trading for a 8000lb + winch for my Jeep Cherokee. You would need to come and get it with a trailor. I am located in Roseville, California. I also have misc parts that go with it - trim/door panels/handles/interior panels etc. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Any questions just ask, thanks and have a great day!

No SX/4 production in 1980, perhaps its an 81?

Most likely.  And an early 81 at that, as it is full time 4WD

 The emission sticker says 1981 but the build sticker looks like it's marked 1980. I had a wagon that had all the papers for 1983 but it was titled as a fleet car for 1984.  ?????? ???

Model years usually start being produced/sold in the 3rd or 4th quarter of the previous year.  So while this is an 1981 model year Eagle, it appears it was built in 1980.

I will have to dig up the paperwork on it to get the correct year when I get back in town as I was just going off the sticker.  The Firebird is a late model 68. :)

I had a '66 Firebird convertible with OHC 6 cyl and I replaced the 4 speed Saginaw with a 5 speed from a Vega. Back then in Canada cars were licensed in the year they were built. I won lots of bets with that car,  ;)

Carnuck - any pictures of it? My other half would love to see it :D So it is in fact an 81.

No pics thanks to the ex "SWABMO" (She who always bitched me out) who destroyed ALL our photos, including those of our children, so she could deny being a mother and now Grandmother. The only pics I have of that part of my life are ones my mother and other family saved plus ones they took.

I couldn't even find one close enough on an internet search either! This car in darker blue is close.
