I got this Eagle in September of 2010 from my friend's private AMC Junkyard. Please read the original post when I first got the car here:
http://forums.amceaglenest.com/index.php?topic=33163.0 I drove it through the winter as my winter daily driver and on into the spring until I got my 5 speed Jeep. This car has come a very very long way, and about a month ago, I was considering to sell it. Mainly because having so many cars is really hard to keep up with as you may know... But I bought these chrome wheels skins for the Jeep rims I have on the car (my plan was to put them on my SX/4 when I were to sell the car), and really...it changed my mind about selling it completely. I couldn't believe how the car was transformed just by these chrome wheel skins.
I started to fix the damages and imperfections the car had, and each thing I would fix...it kept on looking better and better... Then I gave it a coat of wax for the first time since I've had it....and WOW the car came to life. I thought I gave the car a second chance when I first got it, but when the coat of expensive wax went on, it truly got a chance at a second life...it made me fall in love with the car.
With the Wisconsin Dells car show coming up in a week, I started making a press to get the car fixed up before Saturday, the day of the car show. My dad helped, and we fixed 3 of the 4 endcaps that were squashed or missing, painted all of the endcaps the right color, painted some rust spots on the car, put back on the missing trim, and installed a pair of fog lights that I bought long long ago for the car.
I must say, I never thought I would take the car to a car show, I never thought the car could ever look good again. But my dad and I got it done, and you HAVE to see this Eagle now... It's amazing and I hope you think so too.
The spectators at the Wi. Dells car show went crazy over my Eagle, I was busy talking to people all of the time and filling in people on the car's history all of the time. It was a great time, and so many great stories were told. It was a lot of fun.
This car has come a long way, give this Eagle a round of applause
It survived for 6 years at a junkyard where it was forgotten in a shed. Give "Woody" a hand, he deserves it.
