An Eagle is my first car
« on: February 05, 2014, 09:23:25 PM »
 I actually bought my Eagle the Monday after Christmas. It's my first car and I have already fallen in love with it. its a 1984 Wagon with the 4.21 liter in-line six. Its had only four owners (including me) and started her career out as a company car (I don't know for who). I don't know who got it after the company but the man I bought it from for $800 was a real DIY guy. He removed the Emission control system when it went bad and he did some other funny things to it that I have yet to figure out. It steers a little funny and the transmission flares a bit, it's got a little rust and some other misc. damage but I have already decided that I will never sell this car. I have gotten it into my head to (eventually) get this car fully restored, either by my own hand or with help from a pro shop. The interior is mostly original as is most of the vehicle itself. I may own other cars in my lifetime but I will always have my Eagle.

Got the bug. 

I know how you feel about keeping the car for life.  I have a unique collection and hope to be able to keep them also.  My 82 SX/4 is by far one of my favorite cars I have owned.
