In regards to the flat spot on the trans tunnel, was the 229 ever an option on the Eagle? Just out of curiosity.


Thanks for the help!

It was intended for production but the low range plan got scrapped.  My family's AMC dealership assisted a company in purchasing a early SX/4 prototype that was a test mule at the Kenosha plant.  The car came without a drivetrain but actually had the Grand Waggy style low range lever installed in the car.  That was our proof that it was in fact engineered into the floor, not a coincidence.
