Title: 1980 Eagle in Divide
Post by: shanebo on March 31, 2011, 11:16:27 PM
There is a real cool guy that comes into our store who drives a nice old 1980 sedan. the paint is oxydized but all in all real nice car....interiors mint!  I see him quite alot and I finally got a memory card in my phone so I snapped some pics today (http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc377/shanebo79/2152.jpg)(http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc377/shanebo79/2151.jpg)

In reference to a different post on badges..it does have the "automatic 4wd" badge on rear panels and glove box instead of the "four wheel drive" badges on the select trac Eagles....the other thing i noticed is it had different bumpers ends...I wonder if that was a 1980 thing or were they a trasplant off a concord?

That's an 80' thing. I had an 80 wagon that had the exact same stuff.

There is a 1980 sedan in the junkyard in Fort collins (where I DO plan on getting my fricking seats one of these days...).. still has a perfectly intact grille ;)

Yes. 1980 Eagles used the same bumper ends as Concords and Spirits.

I cant wait to see it...is that the one with the factory CB?

Does that one have the horizontal slats Tougeagle? I might have to take a drive up there one of these days and grab it...I like those alot more than the egg crate ones.

Yeah, it's metal, horizontal. I've also been considering snatching the transfer case from it as a spare...

Id love to see it....I havent seen one of those factory cb's since I was a kid.

Eventually I hope to either get one of the horizontal slat grills or better yet the cross bar Spirit grill...Id best concentrate my efforts on getting my eagle driveable first though.
