amc optional buying guide
« on: December 20, 2013, 01:31:06 PM »
I don't remember where but I saw a guide for optional parts, like amc mud flaps, roof rack, and whatnot.  i don't know if it had tires and stuff on it, but I can't find it, and I was wondering wonder if anyone has pictures of it.  Or a rim/ hubcap guide?  The one  im looking at had some hubcaps I've never seen on it.  If anyone has pics or information that would be great!

After a bit of searching, I found one on the eaglepedia or whatever.. Said its an 1981 I think, but relevant to all years? I was looking for hubcaps that are on the eagle I'm looking to buy. Couldn't find them but I don't know if that's because it's an 82, not earlier.  Of course they could just be off something else. They look good though.   
edit:  they look like this:

are they not from an eagle? i dont think so but they look nice

Two covers for '82 Eagles.  Full metal  disc for base SX/4's and Kammbacks and; the mostly plastic styled wheel covers for all other Eagles.  Then there the 5 spoke aluminum wheels.

They look like a GM design to me, but they look like an aftermarket hubcap as well

Yeah I was pretty sure they were some non eagle ones, but I'm fine with them for now because they do look nice with the chrome that's still on there.  I saw (i think it was yours, iowaeagle) with the painted centers on the sx4 hubcaps. I like that look alot, so i may find some of them. 

Completely off topic but i think in one of the pictures i spy a sunroof.  Can't tell for sure till a week or so till i get it, but everytime i look at my pictures (like every minute! Why do i have to wait?!?  :'(  ) I find something that makes me so happy. Geez its like its Christmas or something.  I realized its gonna be a great way to to start the new year! Lol

Yes, probably mine.  I painted the entire cover black including the center insert and then hand painted the 4"s in the center caps red to match the rest of the red trim on the car.

Yeah  I was thinking about doing something like that, or just a fresh coat, because they usually look pretty worn down around here.

I had those on my travel trailer (can't find the pic right now)
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Hmm I swear I just saw these hubcaps on a vehicle recently. Funny thing is when I saw them I though, "Those look like the ones on youngkyle's car." But then I saw that they just had 4 "lugs" and thought I guess they aren't so I didn't bother remembering what vehicle it was...now I see these pics again and see they do just have 4 "lugs" :) haha maybe I'll see it again sometime. The only car I remember seeing recently that sticks out in my mind was a Datsun pickup truck...but I don't think it was on that..

  silly thing to get all giddy about, but i couldn't stop smiling..  youngkyle's car   it will be a week or so still but god i cant stop thinking about it.    didn't even realize it was so close to Christmas, because its all i can think about.  i drove down to see the parts sx4 nearby,  because i want to use it for the hubcaps and gauge console, and it was gone! nearly had a heart attack! i emailed them and its still available, much to my relief.  My sister seems to think eagles aren't a beauty, but a beast.  showed her the maroon, and apparently she likes this one!
