I made a deal yesterday for an '88 wagon. She's brown, in decent shape and comes loaded with spare parts. (I also got a van load of spare parts and an extra, rebuilt, engine.) There are things like wheel covers, radios, alternators, at least three sets of tail light housings, a tilt steering column and lots of things I haven't even seen yet. Pretty sure there's a set of NOS mudflaps.
The seller has let me make payments so I gave him $200 down and will pay the other $500 within two weeks. I hope to have her on the road a month from now so the SX/4 can get a makeover this winter.
Now I have to figure out how to replicate the exterior sun visor so the new car can have one.,
Hi. Matt here. Sounds like an excellent find! Enjoy your Eagles!
Remember- photos, or it didn't happen ;D
Any CB radios?
Doubt there's any CB's in the mix but you never know. It's going to be like Christmas when I get to unload the parts.
Pics will be forthcoming because it did happen! LOL

Andy, the guy I got my sedan from has a couple AMC CB radios. PM me for his info....Rich
I made another payment today.
I'm starting to get excited...I've wanted a wagon for a long time!
I paid the rest today and now own "Nancy"!!
She started up for the first time in 14 years and I drove her a couple miles.
There's a few issues that need addressed but I think I can have her legal and all next week.
Going to do some work on her tomorrow and will take pics to post!!
I am the happiest Eagle owner east and west of the Rockies right now!!!!
Congrats! Can't wait to see the pics!
Hi. Matt here. I am so happy for you! AMC made some unique cars to say the least! I am now working on a 79 AMC Pacer! I can't wait to see the pics!
No pics yet. I was called into work this afternoon and didn't get a chance to work on her at all. I'd rather be working on an Eagle than a tour bus any day!!

Raised grill? They look sweet with rectangular headlights from a '77 Spirit put in.
I'm still not a very good picture taker. Looks like I had the wrong setting. Oh well, here is Nancy!!

Focus is a bit off, but we get the idea!
Yeah, I had the selector on close-up instead of distance.
Excellent Eagle! I love it! -Matt.
