Hello from the Pacific Northwest, 1987 Eagle Limited Wagon
« on: December 15, 2011, 03:04:23 PM »
Hi Eagle fans,

I've been driving my Mom's 1987 Eagle for the last month. It's a bit cold blooded, but it's fun and retro. I'm uploading a photo now.

Also my Dad just bought a 1985 Eagle Wagon to save it from the crusher. As soon as I get more details, I will update this thread.

Thanks,
-Geoff

Thanks. He will try to get it started. But if that does not work... well it may just be a good bunch of useable replacement parts.

There are new spark plugs in it and the rest of the tune up parts, including a new O2 sensor were left on the front seat.  I'll have to figure out where some stray wire go but it should start as soon as I get a new battery.

You could n u t t e r it and not worry about the O2 and such.  could save you a lot of troubleshooting time.

Shouldn't be too hard to start it.

It looks like the silver parts car does not run yet, but it has started to donate parts to my Mom's Eagle.
