Yours is exactly like mine! Same color and year. I don't have the plaid insets on my seats, but otherwise they're identical. Yours is in much better shape, though, although mine is coming along, thanks to the help of the people here.

Great 82 Eagle! My first car was my 1967 Rambler Rebel. I was an AMC fan when I was 8 years old and started driving that all the way through high school.. My college car was an 84 Celebrity.

Welcome to the nest...it is nice to see that we have "younger" people joining, they are our future of keeping the "AMC's" going.

I don't own any eagles, I own J trucks. My hubby has an Eagle and many more AMC's, so I kinda do   :hello2:

I have taken my truck apart and you always find extra hardware left over, guess when we are :newbie: 's we all learn. Have fun on this site and enjoy your Eagle :)
