I found a 1981 AMC Eagle Sport in a junkyard in Detroit.  It spent it's life in Hamtramck (outside of Detroit)  Not too bad of shape!  Can't believe it! Trying to get as much as possible off it; may try and get the front clip, if I ever might need it (I hope not)

I appreciate it!!! NE Ohio cars are VERY hard to keep decent....I can honestly say though that only one car I have ever had has ended up with more rust than it started...my 01 Continental developed some on the doors, but all the others usually got better. I am very particular with keeping them washed. My Eagle definitely has some cancer...a lot of it was fixed when in PA, but I still have to fix a few things. I would love to not drive it in this crap...but it is also one of the best winter cars I have ever driven...so...yeah, it gets driven. If I ever bought a pristine one like Prafeston's old Woodie...I would reserve that to look nice...mine is more of a workhorse. I really need like 5 cars, lol.
My list of my cars/toys (or toys at my disposal!)

1985 AMC Eagle Sportwagon
2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic
1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
2016 Triumph Bonneville
 1962 Cruisers Inc Mahogany Outboard

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

A little bit late, but what we lose in rust, we trade off in no Emissions checks.  though it's defiantly not a fair trade.
