Welcome back Jeff!  We look forward to hearing what's new with you and your Eagles.  There is only one thing in your post that I don't understand - "too many Eagles?"

Unless you don't have space for them. I'm downsizing because I won't have room soon and I can't afford the taxes to take them with me or storage for the excess. I'm doing a swap meet run then try to sell some afterwards, then it's going to be scrapyard time.

Everything?

If you run out of Eagles to sell I have a couple of daily drivers and a parts body I would let go.
After you sell yours, of course.  Not trying to hijack your sale.

I have much more than that. I have another MJ I was going to put my 290 AX15/NV231 into and extend the cab (using doors from a 2dr XJ) The 4.0L and AW4 were going to go into my '68 Travelall 4x4 (I have the front half of a 66 for parts) and I have a '71 Loadstar 5 ton flatbed (18' tilt deck) with 345/5 speed and 2 speed axle I was going to make a tow rig out of. Also a '91 Grumman cube van with toilet and work shop (350/4L80E) and a 5th wheel full of parts I don't want to deal with for my move. (Swap Meet Mar 10th is last try to sell that stuff)

It was running when I took it off the road to convert to auto and 4x4 2 years ago. That's when I got busy, lost my garage, sick, lost my job, and then injured so I haven't quite finished it. Trans cooler lines were a PITA and I had the Eagle, Honcho and other projects on the go. Too many irons in the fire but I kept thinking "I can do it!" and my kids moving away so I had no more help (thanks to my ex-wife) didn't help matters.

Hey guys, I haven't  been on for quite a while, but I have decided to get out of the "EAGLE HOBBY" and into the motorcycle hobby.....

I have an 1986 AMC Eagle wagon with factory trailer hitch . recent new headliner, aluminum valve cover installed, recent custom exhaust cat back, recent master cylinder...original blue paint, factory service manual included.

surface rust on hatch at bottom edges..straight body...has a gouge in the right rear plastic fender extension that covers the wheel well. My dad bought nis new in 1986 for $16,900..ha ha. it has a couple obligatory oil drips, ac works, roll up windows, remote cable mirrors broke and were taken off...headlight buckets have a problem as headlight aiming is a pain. rear brake line needs fix where rear axle hose meets hose under passenger side. driver seat has a seperation on the side seam of the vinyl seat.maybe 8 inches long from enetring & exiting

I believe 121,000 miles..I'll check.

Looking for input on what a "fair selling price would be.  For some reason I have decided to make a new hobby of motorcycles .

Not trying to get big bucks....just would like to know what a fair price would be for seller and buyer.
All replies welcome.

anyone interested in buying shoot me an idea. car runs and drives nice.

Changing eagle punishment for harley punishment...ha ha
