Not a fan of the sedan
« on: November 22, 2010, 09:04:57 AM »
[img]Here it is my 3rd eagle.  I used to have an 82 kammback and a 84 wagon limited, but I was never a fan of the sedan cuz of the vinyl roof.  I couldn't pass this one up seeing how rare and how clean it was.  I have found no real rust anywhere, still has the manual, and the original bill of sales.  All original so far, 122,000 miles, automatic, new headliner, interior is mint, cruise control, AC and the 258.  Not sure why but I don't have the aluminum valve cover on it.  Low miles and no rust are the only good things about this sedan.  Now for the bad, roof is shot, front seats are shot, doors are loose, don't know if the 4x4 works, bad valve cover leaks, exhaust is shot from the manifold on back, gas gauge bounces, missing molding inside the front doors where the windows roll into, cruise don't work, radio is shot, clear coat is coming off the hood, needs a grill, side mirrors are shot, fender has a good size dent, looks like a leak around the windshield and some rust under the vinyl top.  Almost made it home from a 3 hr. drive with no problems, until about 15 minutes from my house the car just started to shake violently and I had to slow down and pull over.  Bad shaking, pulling to the right, squeaking and grinding types of sounds from the front.  I barley made it home, so instead of doing some fun updates to the eagle I now have to drop more money than expected into the mysterious front end problem.  Eagle still looks good though........  I want to send Pics. just not sure how yet?

I use Photobucket...Once you upload your pics to PB, you will see your individual pics with link codes at the bottom of every pic...I always use the bottom link ( copy and paste method) to post pics on the forums...try that and see if it works for you. ;)
