How many Eagles has everyone had and what was the fate of them? If you've had close friends or family members with Eagles too, feel free to list them.

I have my 86 wagon that is drivable, but an ongoing project.
I had an 85 Limited that was a parts donor for my 86. It was picked clean and then scrapped.
1986 Eagle: 258, Auto, Chrysler 8.25 rear, 3.54 gears
1989 Jeep Comanche: 4.0, AX-15, 8.8 rear, 4.10 gears
1940 Chevy PU: 350, 700R4

4 than I came on hard times. 3 had to go along with my concord wagon.times are much better however I no longer want that many. I still have my 84 sedan pictured in my avatar. Problem with that is it's needing another restore. During warm months I live in 2 areas of Wisconsin, and have little time to do so.

Including the 2 I currently have, I have OWNED 6. I started w/an '81 Kammback when I came back from Korea. Kept it for about a year & decided I didn't quite like it. Went to the dealer & ORDERED a wagon the way I wanted it in the color I wanted. About 3? 4? years later I'm married & outta the army. Wife wants to start a small business & we needed a pickup. Bye-bye Eagle #2. Fast forward 2009, my wife died & I started getting the Eagle itch. Bought one, was driving it. Plates were ready to expire, took it to a friend for "his mechanic" to fix the horn so I could pass inspection. Few days later I get a call from him, turns out somebody rear ended it sitting at his house. Ins. totaled it. Bye-bye #3. Bought another one, front end (sub-frame) COMPLETELY rotted away, sold for parts. Goodbye to #4. Bought the wagon I have now, driving it. Looking at spacebook market just for something to do. Saw a 4 door sedan same color as the wagon, commented & somehow ended up buying it, so now I have 2 Eagles! *UPDATE* Pics. added, NOT in order! No pics. of the Kammback. The blue one is the FIRST wagon I ever owned. The black one is the first one I bought here in Misery. It's the one that got hit/totaled. The white one was the ROTTED AWAY front subframe INTENDED to be a replacement for BlackBird. The beige wagon is the one I bought from Brandon & I still drive it. The sedan I bought sorta by accident, but also drive it. The kammback was a 4 speed & the FIRST wagon a 5 speed. Autos, for the rest. ALL 258s.
'83 AMC Eagle wagon 258/auto.
'84 AMC Eagle sedan (4 door) 258/auto.
PREVIOUS AMCs:
'72 Gremlin X 304/3 speed

'82 Eagle wagon 258/5 speed (Ordered new, traded Kammback)
'86 (I THINK) Eagle wagon - BlackBird 258/auto. (Got hit/totaled)

hi, had an 82 sedan Ltd.,drove it 20 years, 1995-2015, when axle snapped and wheel fell off. Have an 84 Sedan now, more or less fully restored. also had an 85 wagon for parts.
One friend has an 84 wagon Ltd, and another friend has a hopped up 82 wagon, with Holley Sniper FI, and another for parts. if anyone needs one there is a white wagon sitting in a field in the Jacksonville, NC area.
