I was looking at some old photos and I found a picture of my first and only brand new car...an isuzu in my case. It got me wondering if any members here have any photos of Eagles or any other AMC's that were taken when they were brand new.
I had the original window sticker and a picture of the Eagle in my glove box when I got it. However, a rainstorm on the way to Mitchell, SD one summer for a Dakota AMC Meet killed both those items (glove box filled with water). I assume the picture was of my Eagle new or relatively new.
I wonder how many members have had their Eagle since new?
Here's a picture I've posted before of my then brand new 87 Wrangler with my 81 SX/4. I didn't buy the Eagle new, I bought it in 84 but it only had a couple thousand miles so it was close. I still have the Jeep and wish I still had the Eagle.

That's a nice looking SX/4!
Now that is a great picture!! Thats a twin to my current eagle, minus the sunroof. Mines not that shiny either but it sure gives me a good idea of what I want it to look like!!! Eggs for a great photo!!.....When did you sell that car?

When did you sell that car?
I sold it shortly after I got married, around '92 or '93. I sold it to my father in law with about 65,000 miles on it. He drove it back and forth to work over a hundred miles a day for several years. I think he ended up "junking it" with several hundred thousand miles on it. :(
But as I said I still have the Jeep, it has 38,000 "happy" miles on it and will never see any daily driving duties as long as I can help it.
It has however, seen some fun off-road miles.

38,000 miles!! Its not even broke in yet!! Atleast that Eagle got well used before it was sent to big nest in the sky ;D
This is my parents' '81 Kammback when it was new. I learned to drive a 4-speed in this car the day they brought it home.

Theres just somthing about seeing a picture of a new AMC that makes ya feel all warm inside!! its hard to believe that its been almost 24 years since the last new amc was available.
What a cool thread...come on people...get out the scanners and let's see those 4x5 photos! :)
Budwisr, that SX/4 looks amazing. Wow, I wish I had that car right now!
Im hoping some more pics will surface....although alot of us, including myself, where still in grade school or younger when the last new eagle was drove off the lot.
Yeah I was 3 when the last Eagle was produced.
