The rescue birds
« on: May 12, 2012, 02:02:48 AM »
Got one  of the two Eagle wagons home. This one is an 83 with only minor bumps and bruises.



Can't believe the plastic valve cover is not yet cracked.
So far it needs fuel pump, distributor, wires, carb and then I'll see if it will run.
Gonna need a rear end though cause this one locked while i was towing it.

Here is the other one. An 84  This one only has 57000 miles on it



Looking for some wheel covers
@Mudkicker I dunno yet I'm just glad I had it strapped down real good because when it grenaded it left two 20 foot skid marks on the road. Luckily we were only a few yards from a gas station where we could grab it from the other end and continue on. FYI we did pull the driveshafts on both cars. And they were caught on CL (pic of them sitting in front of the squisher)
