The Snow Eagle

[Snow Eagle]

Well here goes nothin. This is the' Snow Eagle' bought at the Salvation Army Auto Auction. Bought new out of Olympia Washington. Has the Cold climate package. Unmolested.

[Snow Eagle]

Here is an interesting question. On the cowl is the date 12-10-7 and a number 56 under it. The last Eagle was built 12-10-87. Do any other 1988 owners have these numbers or is it just an oil change reminder?

[Prafeston]

Whoa, what a find! How much did it go for at auction? Looks to be in really good shape...how many miles are on it?

[IowaEagle]

What a beautiful survivor.  I wonder if that is a last day car, and one of the folks on the line wrote that on the car.  That would be neat to know.

[Snow Eagle]

56th car on that day. 56 from the end.  Date on door says 11/21/87. Who knows but it does make me wonder.

Final price was $1500 and the car has 137K on it. Its going to need a trans rebuild but that's no big deal. Just got to get a little dirty. Torque Commands are easy. Engine is strong and well cared for. Here are some more pictures.

High dollar cassette with 4 coaxial speakers. Also the optional all weather hood release.


Factory mud flaps


Heavy Duty roof rack mounts.


Opera headliner


Car has zero rust. Its fully undercoated and has never been off-road. There is not a scratch on the skid plates in fact the molding nipple on the bump stop is still there. Gonna clean her up for the survivor class. LOL!

[Prafeston]

Great find at an amazing price! Zero rust and an exterior that looks like that. You definitely ripped someone off!

[HappyPappy]

NO, he didn't rip anybody off, just was at the right place at the right time.  GREAT looking find. Typical head liner problem.

[Snow Eagle]

I think he was joking...lol. But thank you all for the support. I will post some more pictures as we fix her up or find interesting items. Dont want to bore u with trivial stuff. Anyway she has found a good home with my Dad and it will go nice next to his 84 Limited wagon that we put a 4.0H.O. out of a 97 XJ. Only the 88 will be much slower!

I suggest starting a thread in the "Your Eagle(s)" section if you plan on posting more pics and things about your Eagle Nevermind. Looks like IowaEagle moved it for you.

Thanks for sharing all the photos. You got a really nice Eagle there.

Great looking car. If your ever get on the East side of the Washington Cascades, drop by. That rig would look right at home in my driveway.

SWEEEET!

[El Matador]

Holy crapoly!  Someone donated that to the Salvation Army? 

What's going on with the passenger side interior door panel?  Why are those three rectangular bits screwed on there (thus ruining the panel)?

Subtract the last four digits of the VIN from 2306, and that will tell you how close it is to the end of production.

(Yes, I know the cars weren't necessarily built in the order that VINs were assigned...)

[Roadmaster]

what a beautiful car!  i love the whites its my favorite "color".  and the "opera" headliner fits right in with the rest of us  
wanna trade?

[Snow Eagle]

Both door panels must have had a pocket attached at one time. They were velcroed and riveted.  The sequence and body number is 2076 and VIN is 2117. So its about 189 from end of production.

Nice find!
