Now that is a beautiful car.

I think you've done a great job of balancing the original design with more modern changes, and there are a lot of nice touches all the way around.

So, you're bringing this thing to the meet, right?  ;)

That AMC Eagle must belong to a Major League Baseball Player -- Its really on Steroids.  Yeah, get it running and bring it.  I am sure it will be one of the centers of attention.  And, pay no attention to Gil.

Nice!  I didn't even see you had pics of it until now, as we are doing our vote for Ride of the Month.  Looks great.  If you do decide to come to the meet, that would be awesome, just be sure to post in the Meet roll call topic, so we can get you on the list.  I (as does everyone else, I'm sure) hope to see ya there!

AWESOME looking. I bought an 88 that was lifted 3 in. But removed the lift. Looked like a lot of angle on shaft's and U joint's. If I could have seen into the future,I would not have bought it. Big $$ for Pa. inspection. Next day Transfer case took a crap! Was dry! Rear end bearing's all shot. Front hub bearing's shot! All fixed now. More $$$ in it than she's worth I'm sure,but Little wagon is like a Tank in the snow!!!!!!  C'MON SNOW in Pa.      Mark  Coatesville,Pa.

 Hey guys,I've got the monsta wagon now....so happy,but yes the suspension needs to be reworked , WAY too much oversteer right now with the nosedive look,but she's got new KYB GrII shocks all around and a new steering dampener and horn .
   Found a cb antenna in the attic of my new house and it fit into the socket on the roof also put a spare up there (will post pix soon)but roof flexes too much.lGot the tires balanced and KC covers for the lights.Also had a fitting put into the rear u-joint w/ some grease.I may end up with a web page on my tattoo site for monsta since there are so many pix of this car here already.
   BigGuy45 hope you find another one soon
