Hi,

I'm not a Eagle owner....yet. :) My Brother who passed away a year ago has one, and I am thinking about getting it. His wife and kids have no interest in a manual speed. It's a 81 sx /4. Found out it was last ran about 13-15 years ago. Would like to see it back on the road.  Any suggestions on doing that are welcome. Thank you

I hope you can get it from them and get it back on the road. Would be a great tribute to your brother!

Welcome!  Opportunities to get an SX/4 are few and far between so my recommendation is to just do it!  Lots of help available here in the Den.  My Kammback had not been licensed (and probably not run) in 16 years when I bought, I had it up and running in a matter of days and I'm no magician or master mechanic.
