Hello Fellow Eagle Owners,

I'm new to this forum but not new to the AMC Eagle SX/4.  In 82' and 83' I was the co-driver of an Eagle on the AMC Pro Rally Team with Gene Henderson.  A picture of our rally car back then is attached.  I recently came across and purchased an 83' SX/4, a picture of which is also attached.  I plan to put it into the same paint scheme as our rally car and have some fun with it.

I was really glad to find this forum as a source of information and parts.  I'll look forward to interacting with ya'll.

Cheers,
Jim Kloosterman

Yes, I have run in the 100 Acre Wood Rally several times including in the Eagle.  Somewhere in the piles... I have a photo of the Eagle taken at 100 Acre Wood.  I'll see if I can find it and get it scanned so I can attach it.

Cheers,
Jim
