Project Cars / 1980 Limited wagon
Last post by Jawbone1021 - May 12, 2025, 12:06:10 AMThis is my 1980 AMC Eagle Limited wagon. Finally posting a project thread for this.
It's mostly original, aside from some small things and maybe the paint, although I'm not sure.
When it works, it works okay. When it breaks, it's usually minor.
My first real project car. Done some work to it, including but not limited to replacing the windshield seal, rebuilding the carb, redoing the headliner, fixing the door handles (mostly), redoing the vacuum lines, putting in a new thermostat, stuff like that. Small but helps a lot.
It needs new tires because it sat for around 20 years before I got it. The windshield is also cracked as of this fall. It needs some minor cosmetic parts, like the rear filler panel. The sunvisors were also missing when I got it.
The interior's really nice and I have a ton of factory documentation. Reply to ask for certain pictures because I'm not going to fill the page with them. The interior shot is from before I did any work to it and the exterior shot is before I washed it.
Thanks for checking this thread out. Tell me if you have any suggestions or comments.

Last post by Jawbone1021 - May 11, 2025, 11:24:47 PMI'd like to find some parts, too. Looking for a clear Deflectashield (would an S10 unit fit?), factory mudflaps, stuff like that.

Hatchlings / Re: New guy with an old Eagle
Last post by Jawbone1021 - May 11, 2025, 11:17:47 PMIt's been a while, but I am still alive, and the Eagle is (mostly) too.
Did a LOT of work since I last posted on this thread, but I still need new tires, and I was wondering if I should get whitewalls or not. I also kind of want alloys for it, maybe some Jeep turbines or imitation wires. Though if I got alloys I wouldn't get whitewalls, probably. Thoughts?

Meet and Show Eagles / Re: First show this year
Last post by Still Pat - May 11, 2025, 12:01:18 PMGotta wait till my ride gets outta church & finished up there (he helps with the books sometimes) & head off to Sprint. I expect I'll go in, they'll wipe it & punch a couple things on it, hand it back & say "Yeah, you just had the raz turned off. We ma tazzed the rassen frassen & you're good to go." - as they shake their heads thinking technology hasn't been kind to the older generation! They'd be right, it's been rough on us! Not counting Jeeps (don't actually recall any) or the H.E.T. (Hudson, Essex, Terraplane) Club, I *THINK* there were only about 5 other AMCs. Our club (Gateway AMC) president brought his Gremlin, there were 2 other (both purple NON X) Gremlins, an AMX or Javelin (I forget), me & the other Eagle (SX/4). They had it at a "Classic Car" dealer & they were open & letting people go in & look around. Saw THREE FC Jeeps & a 1931 Nash, but NO AMCs!

Meet and Show Eagles / First show this year
Last post by Still Pat - May 10, 2025, 05:09:28 PMTook the sedan across the river for a car show today. Just about had a heart attack, there was an SX/4 there. Took a buncha pics. (as usual), in addition to the Bird getting sick when I was ALMOST there, my PHONE'S sick now! It won't connect to the infernalnet. Went through & cleaned up all the pics., but can't do anything with them now. IF it doesn't 'magically cure' itself overnight & I can get a ride & they're open (Sun., I never know), I'll take it up to Sprint & let them do their magic. Anyway, just to let y'all know I HOPE to have pics. tomorrow.
