Title: My new 1983 Eagle Sport wagon
Post by: beej8508 on January 02, 2012, 11:27:16 PM
Last Saturday I went to the Pull and Save to get some interior pieces for my 1980 Capri Turbo...

When I walked out into the lot..This was the first thing I saw.
I made a "B" line to it.
97000 miles, oxidized but not a dent or rust to be found anywhere on the car.
The interior is nearly mint.  No sun fading and two slight tears.
I must have been stored in a garage for most of its life.

The selling price was $700.00.

Today I took my brother with me to show him the car.  He's the worlds best negotiator.  He is not an Eagle fan, he's into Javelins,  specifically 1972 Javelins. He got a little excited when he saw the sport mirrors.

After he saw it and we talked for a while, I decided to get it.  (I knew I was going to buy it...but I wanted his opinion)

$600.00 and a signature on the bill of sale and I am now the proud owner of an AMC.

It needs a carburetor and an air filter and it'll be on the road again!
