Fresh Eagle
« on: April 20, 2015, 12:17:01 PM »
Well let me start by saying I'm 21 and I have never even heard of an amc eagle let alone seen one. So when I was searching Craigslist for a replacement for my 96 blazer which was rusting and rotting out *thanks new York state*. My dad and I are movers for allied van linesand we run the east coast so I decided to search Craigslist around Orlando florida. And I found a 88 in pretty good condition and a decent price he had it up for 1900$ but we talked him down to 1400$ brand new tires and brakes. We put 700 down and will be picking it up in a week. Without further ado here she is.

Also all the windows work everything runs fine and she only has 120k miles. It was sitting in a garage for 15 years. All I'm missing are the side rails I think that is what they're called on the front bumper

Welcome. Not many Eagles in Florida. It was probably brought down by a snow bird.  Those front bumper ends aren't too difficult to find. Good luck with your Eagle.

If I remember correctly.  He got the car from a friend in North Carolina. Thank you

I remember seeing that one posted. Couldn't forget that duct tapped front seat! Looks like the passenger rear bumper end cap might need replaced too. Good luck with your new ride. Welcome to the club!

Now that I think about he was talking to me as he wrote out the bill of sale and he mentioned someone from Tennessee gave him a offer but he turned it down. Maybe that person was from this board
