As seen in the "Wanted" section, I've been looking for a 2 door coupe, but nothing was really panning out....until yesterday. I got a call from Terry at the Rambler Ranch, asking how soon I could get out there, there was a coupe he wanted me to see. After about a 45 minute drive, I got to the Ranch and found this great 1980 coupe waiting for me. Its owned by Ross, a friend of Terry's, who just had it painted in preparation to sell it. Terry knew I was looking for a coupe, and thus the invitation.
Its a 1980 basic model, about 84000 miles. Ross bought it in AZ about 15 years ago, and he said he's hardly put any miles on it. It's in terrific shape, with no rust. The only thing that really needs fixing at this point is the vinyl roof. We've got some paperwork to take care of, but the car should be mine later this week!
Here are some pics. Parts and pieces need to be put back on since they were taken off for painting, but everything is there.

Very, very nice. An '80 is the way to go.
I do like it.. :hello2:
nice dude but it looks like the passenger side fender was replaced at some point.
Wow...what a catch :hello2: Congratulations :occasion14: to you, Dave. :eagle:
Very nice, congrats Dave!
No rust and fresh paint too!
Even has AC, you'll love that
It's even that "non nutmeg" brown dash color

Yes, it was. It got grazed while it was parked, and rather than try and get the creases out, the guy I am buying it from picked up a replacement fender from the junkyard, and had it painted with the rest of the car.
Thanks everyone for the congrats. I'm excited about getting it. And now there'll be an extra Eagle for the trip to the Eagle Motel this fall.
Good for you!! That is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I have a line on one but it is taking time.

This will be the first old car I've owned out of a half dozen or more that has A/C. I'm really looking forward to that.
And the dash alone will make it stand out!

Nice Find!!!!
Dave, I am happy for you :) It looks like a nice car, and I hope to see it at the next Eagle tour!
Congrats. I like that light colored interior with the dark carpet and dash. Makes me in the mood for a mocha latte and I don't typically drink coffee.

Was that the only option in 80? My old wagon 80 wagon was that color brown too.
Looks like you found the perfect one Dave! Congrats! I'm curious how maddog knew the passenger fender had been replaced at some point?
Also it's hard to tell but is that the factory yellow or tan exterior?

If you look at the 6th picture, you can see a bit of the fender in the engine bay, and the lip of it is a different color.
Its factory yellow.
Ahhh I see it now. I kept looking at the pics of it from the side! :)
So it was the yellow from the factory and it just got a repaint huh? Very cool. Love that yellow!

yep. if it weren't for that odd colored lip I would never have known.
Yesterday I picked up some new used wheels and tires for the coupe. They are jeep canyon wheels, and I picked up a set of 215/70R15 tires to go with them. Pics are below. I should be able to go out to the Rambler Ranch this weekend, put some necessary parts back on the car like the headlight bezels, front turn signals, and marker lights, along with the new wheels and tires, and bring her home!

Those might stick out a bit. Those are the deeper dish Canyon wheels. I like that style though.
I saw the pictures of them on Amc1320's car and thought they looked really good. Plus they are readily available and cheap lol. They have a pretty high backspacing so hopefully they don't stick out too far.
I hate to poop on your parade, but I think those are the wrong wheels. Jeep made two very similar Canyon wheels, the ones that came on the ZJ did not have as deep a inside measurement and the center caps did not say Jeep. The ones that went on the TJ had wider spokes and a deeper inside measurement and the center caps said Jeep.
Those may work, but they aren't the same ones you've probably seen on a couple Eagles on the Forum.
Scroll down to the Canyon wheels and you'll see the difference.

mine came off a Wrangler, 2002 I think, although it was in junkyard and I cant say if they were original to the jeep or not
They do not say Jeep on the centercaps, they do stick out more than the stock wheels but I like the wider stance look. I did add a 1" wheel spacer to the rear ones to allow for the center cap to go over the axle nut

Hey, don't be poopin on my bird before I even get it home :rotfl:
So I did some research before buying the wheels
1) I talked with Amc1320, confirmed that his were 15x8 with same tire size I ended up with. He said he had a slight tire rub under some circumstances, which he fixed with a pocket knife.
2) Looked on the jeep forums, and learned about the 2 different style wheels. The older wheels weren't known as Canyon wheels at the time and IIRC were called sport wheels as they were part of a sport package. Those wheels are 15x7 with 5.25" backspacing. These are the same dimensions as the teardrop wheels I used to have on Pepe.
3) The newer Canyon wheels are 15x8, with a 5.5" backspacing. So these wheels/tires should extend 0.25" more inward, and 0.75" outward.
I'm not positive I'll like the look on the new coupe. At this point, I've got $100 invested in the wheels, and $200 in the tires, including mounting and balancing. Worst comes to worst, I'll swap to different wheels, sell the Canyons for at least $100, and only be out the cost to remount the tires. Heck, I could just sell the center caps off the Canyons and almost recoup my money - have you seen what those things are going for on ebay???? I think its a pretty low risk situation, but since they works on Amc1320's Eagle, I'm pretty confident they'll work on mine.
Thanks for looking out for us though. Thumbs up for being concerned about your fellow Eaglers!
Yeah, just wanted to make sure you knew which ones you were getting. I hope the work. Sounds like you really don't have much money tied into them so no harm done if they just don't fit.
Thanks again. I didn't know about the older style until I started looking into the wheels further. Those would probably work better with an Eagle, but they don't seem as available as the newer ones. Hopefully I'll have them on the car this weekend!
I went to the DMV today, and got my new title and temporary tag, all in less than 10 minutes!!! No waiting at all. I now have 2 months to get my emissions test done in order to get my permanent plates. My car is more than 31 years old, so it qualifies for collector plates, although I'll have to get an emissions test every 5 years.
Are the emissions test as tough on old cars?
Sure am glad I don't have emissions tests here, I would fail!
I have a total of two vacuum hoses and no computer!
On the bright side it runs like a champ!
I agree. I bet they are cleaner without all that garbage, when tuned right.

I just went with collector plates this year. The 5 years between emissions is much nicer than every year.

I believe they use the limits that were required when the car was new. So its a lot more lenient than the standards they use today, but your car does have to be running properly.

I bet they could pass the test (which is based on the emissions standards from when the car was built) without all the extra emissions equipment. Where they get you is the visual inspection. Plus, we all know it is against federal law to remove emissions equipment from a vehicle :-X

Uh oh ........ Forget what I said above......
I spent a couple hours working on my coupe today. i got the new wheels and tires installed, put on the headlight trim and clear turn signals, and the side marker lights. I think the wheels look great, I just need to get the spacers in the back so I can put on the center caps. Also there is one lug nut on each rear wheel that I can't get on. I'm hoping the studs were just a little rusty or gummed up as there was no lug nut on them to begin with. Hopefully a little oil will do the trick, otherwise I'll have to try to clean them up with a die. Any other suggestions?
I also started it up today. I don't think it had been run in over a week but it started right up. I'm hoping to bring it home on Sunday!
The pictures I took didn't turn out all that great because of the shadows, but you get the idea.

Looking good! You'll be ready for the Golden Super Cruise. :hyper: You're on the right track with the stud. You can try to wire brush them with a stiff wire brush or cordless drill with a wire brush.

And today is the first Saturday of the month!
I brought my new coupe home today!!! It did great on the 30 mile ride home. It rides much smoother than the Kammback, probably a combination of the longer wheel base and better suspension (?). There was also less road noise, due to the fact I have car tires on it rather than SUV tires I've always used on the Kammback. The engine runs extremely smooth, when I got home I popped the hood and it purrs like a kitten. The one problem I discovered was that the heater fan wasn't working. I tested out the A/C on Friday and I swore the fan worked, so I guess that's job #1.
Here are a couple pictures here at home. The third picture is something under the hood, I'm guessing its emissions related but its just kind of laying on the valve cover. I'm thinking it should be attached somewhere. Does anyone with a 1980 know where this should reside? Thanks.

That's the nonlinear vacuum regulator. Everyone I have seen is kind of just hanging around somewhere as well.

Thanks! I'm really excited about it now that I have it home.
nice coupe! looks to be in similar condition to mine, just better paint.
its funny you mentioned the heater fan not working cause mine has some issues as well. only works on high and makes a funny buzzing noise.
don't really need it all that often in the dallas area, so haven't taken the time to finish it.
do you plan on doing any work on the suspension?
i just ordered springs for mine and I'm trying to figure out if the coupes use the same rear leaves as the SX4s and Kammbacks, or the same as the wagons and sedans. i ordered the springs listed for the sedans from Generalspringskc so I'm really hoping i got the right thing. do you know?
congrats on the coupe, tho! i love mine. and it gets stared at constantly. no one ever knows what they are looking at.

No paint job in the near future. The previous owner had a mid priced MAACO paint job just put on it, so its in pretty good shape. I'm taking it into the body shop later this week to have a new vinyl roof installed, along with pinstriping. Then I can put the interior trim and the passenger seat back in!
dang, that's a shame. well, maybe it will happen some time in the far future.
Today was the first chance I've had to work on the coupe since I picked it up, and I got a lot of little stuff done
- screwed on the front marker lights
- put nuts on the back of the taillights - there were only two on each side holding it in
- tightened down gas tank filler tube
- spliced a taillight wire, replaced a taillight bulb
- replaced fuse for AC/fan. Fan works now, but car doesn't produce a lot of heat, the needle barely makes it to the C on the temp gauge. Hoses and radiator don't feel very warm. I'm suspecting there is no thermostat in the car, other than the new one I found in the trunk. So purchased supplies today to replace thermostat and heater hoses tomorrow.
- Installed grille
- Installed 1" spacers in the back
- Bought a new flasher for the turn signals, need to locate the old one which I understand it tucked up under the dash
Yesterday I picked up the car from the upholstery/body shop. I had a new vinyl top installed, along with having the back side window plastic inserts painted, the trim around the back window painted, and pin stripes put on. Here is a picture of it in yesterday's snow storm, I'll take some more pictures tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm really feeling luckier every day to have gotten this car. It looks and drives great. These coupes will really grow on you!
Today was cooling system day. I drained and flushed the cooling system, after about 20 gallons the water was coming out pretty clean. Put in new heater hoses, upper radiator hose, thermostat (oops, forgot to install it the first time I put on the housing. Prompted a trip to OReilly's an hour later to pick up a new gasket), heater control valve, and radiator cap. I also cleaned out the overflow reservoir, there must have been 2" of sludge in there. I now have heat in the car, and the car now operates in the normal operating range on the temp gauge. I finished up in time to get some pictures of the car without a snow storm going on.

It does, doesn't it! I like the look, kind of limo-ish lol

I just discovered this thread yesterday. Welcome to the coupe owners' club! That one is a mighty fine example.
I have a pair of 1980 coupes myself. Neither is currently running, but both are restorable. They're just waiting patiently for their turn to be brought back to life. I don't want to get into the scenario of one being used as a parts car for the other.
