Title: New to Forum in Michigan
Post by: jdkloost on October 04, 2017, 09:18:57 AM: Hello Fellow Eagle Owners,

I'm new to this forum but not new to the AMC Eagle SX/4. In 82' and 83' I was the co-driver of an Eagle on the AMC Pro Rally Team with Gene Henderson. A picture of our rally car back then is attached. I recently came across and purchased an 83' SX/4, a picture of which is also attached. I plan to put it into the same paint scheme as our rally car and have some fun with it.

I was really glad to find this forum as a source of information and parts. I'll look forward to interacting with ya'll.

Cheers,
Jim Kloosterman
Chelsea, Michigan

Post by: jdkloost on October 05, 2017, 10:50:08 AM: Yes, I have run in the 100 Acre Wood Rally several times including in the Eagle. Somewhere in the piles... I have a photo of the Eagle taken at 100 Acre Wood. I'll see if I can find it and get it scanned so I can attach it.

Cheers,
Jim
