Now you just need to put some bigger tires on it and go drive over smaller cars.

Sounds good but we are a little cash strapped so the tires are going to have to wait.

I agree 100% about not wrecking an Eagle, but I think it was said somewhere that the Eagle was beyond saving.

Indeed Jim this eagle's frame rails were beyond saving. I would never destroy a perfectly good eagle for sake of making an off road animal LOL There weren't many solutions for this bird this was the best I could come up with.

Ive often fatasized about dropping an eagle body on top of a late model Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 chasis/drive train.

I'm all for it I would love to see something like that......make it happen.
I Don't know why. But everybody's always talking about their STI or That guys EVO, I think I'll stick with my old, but reliable AmC. Did I ever tell you I was Full blooded Eagle?

I think the GC SRT8 is unibody like the eagle, so in theroy you could put that drivetrain in an eagle

1981 Eagle Kammback (restoration in progress)
1983 SX/4 SOLD

Finished some wiring today and got some much needed painting done. Still need to address the brakes. I am also looking at a shifter I like from B&M



I really like this shifter Because it has the look and feel of a manual tranny but its automatic. And its priced fairly at  $120.00 which is perfect for this project.
