that's cool.  I like how there is a picture of each except 1.  The only thing that bugs me is they keep mentioning "4wd eagle wagon"

Im not sure if I want to know what happened to those 2 eagles in myth busters....I have a feeling they met a rather violent end.

Some of our members contacted Mythbusters and suggested they destroy cars that are not as rare as Eagles.  Some members say they boycotted the show.

If you think you can handle watching it online I found the second half of the episode on YT. Both the Eagles externally appeared to be in decent shape. Though they did remove the engine from the Sedan and put it in the trunk and call it a rear engine vehicle.

One of the movies mentioned there is "Give 'Em heck Malone" from 2009.  Never heard of it before seeing it on that website.  The snapshot they show looks rather ominous, so I found a clip on YouTube to see what happens.

The Ford van absolutely obliterates an older Wagoneer, and the Eagle suffers some collateral damage.  >:(

The carnage begins at 0:32 in this video.

Well that was certainly disturbing  :'( ....I guess I can forget about grabbing the headlight buckets off of those cars.
