that sux it looked nice ppl just dont care about eagles any more :(
alot of times when an eagle is in the salvage yard it is ither someone failed inspection and don't think there are collectors for the car or a relitive has died and instead of trying to find a new owner for the car they take the tax break and donate it to one of the numerious foundations (kidney foundation was the biggest one when I lived out in utah)

I just got a 1980 2-door Sedan.  It is so rad.  It makes my '88 wagon look like a normal car! 
It needs a few things most importantly new front wheel bearings and tires.  Any help sourcing those bearings would be greatly appreciated. :help:

Pics to come!

1988eagle, congrats!  I really like the 2 door sedans.  Pictures, please!
Maddog, those parts numbers would be of help to me, also.

Anywho, I've been a little confused by these bearings.  I've read that some of the '80 and '81 eagles use different bearings then the rest, I've also seen the Fed A-40 and Timken set26 listed for all years.  Calls to local parts stores have been no help as most of them don't even have listings for this car.  I don't want to get the wrong parts.  I want this baby on the road asap!

It looks like it drove off the set of the new Mad Max film.  Flat (sanded down) Black, 2" lift, on 235's.  :censored: cool.
...oh yeah, and it's a sport model.

I'm not sure but I believe the early bearings were ball bearings and are no longer available but that the later tapered roller bearings will work for replacement.

Well thanks for those part numbers.  The Bearings are in, tapered roller type, two sets for each side.  I also put in new front brakes and a new (rebuilt) axle on the passenger side.  New BFG All-Terrain 215/75R15's sitting on Cherokee Mag's.  It's looking real good to me. :hello2:

Sorry it's taking so long for pic's.

Kinda gives me incentive to get one or both of my 1980 coupes on the road.

But, since this is a sedan thread, I suppose I should dig up a picture of my sedan instead.

you should at the very least get that 1980 sport coupe outta that field.  There's no rot on her yet, but if she sits there for too long, there will be.

If you 'save an eagle' from rotting in some field, just to put it in another field to rot, you haven't really saved it.  You've just purchased it, and relocated it.   I'd be saying get that one driving as soon as you can.

I agree. Get it out of that field and send it on a nice winter vacation in beautiful, salt free Florida She she can play with my coupes.
