1980 Eagle Coupe Denver
« on: June 16, 2012, 05:31:27 PM »
It was a sad sight to see this beauty in the junkyard.  1980 2 door coupe, 4 speed manual transmission, odometer read 19000 (but probably 119000) miles, no rust, minimal body damage, everthing was there. I picked up a few pieces including the Marschal fog lights (both housings good, missing one lense) and badges and as I was checking out the guy told me it had been a running car that came to them after an impound auction.  I sure wish I had found this one before it found its way into the yard   :'(

At one time it had the dealer installed air conditioning.  I was going to pull that out but at some point the evaporator box had been removed so not much to grab.

The manual transmission must have been a transplant.  All 1980 Eagles were automatics.

What color was the interior?

Heyyy, it looks red.  Maybe it's the red you're looking for.  Good luck Dean!

What a shame...as much as I like parts availability, its always painful to see one, especiay one that nice, in a salvage yard. Ill bet it was one of those no title deals that landed it there.

It's a shame to see a coupe looking this good being parted out.

If it has the SR4, I am sure someone will want the shifter.

Yes, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  I don't really need them.

Egg-cellent save on the bumper caps dave  ;) I wonder what they would let that tranny and transfer case go for...I wouldn't mind having an extra set on hand just in case.
