Title: 45 year search
Post by: Frankt on September 04, 2025, 04:23:16 PM
After a 45 year search for my bucket list car,I found it. Exactly as I envisioned. I worked in the AMC Styling studios on this car. I did the outside mirrors and wheels.
 This  exact model of the car was there, used as a reference vehicle. 1983 Eagle Wagon Limited. 19k miles, a 9 out of 10.Fully optioned, sport wheels and Copper Brown color. Checks every box for me.

Very nice car. My '83 SX4 is the same color.

Copper Brown was my favorite color across the line of AMC cars.

Welcome! Beautiful car. I have an 84 4dr Sedan. 1st question for you: Why were there 2 different styles of the wheels on your car? Difference was very slight, the black band in the "spoke". Again, welcome to the group. gz

Love the color! I have a Limited wagon with no wood panel too. Is yours lowered? Looks pretty slick
