83 SX/4 GONE
« on: October 09, 2012, 08:23:54 PM »
My 83 SX/4 needs a new home. Currently has the engine compartment emptied due to planned 4.0 swap that never happened. I have ALL parts that have been removed except for the flex plate and torque converter.

Vehicle was running fine until it started having a ticking noise coming from the rear of the engine. Mechanic swore it was a rod knock so I started tearing down the engine. Once the engine came out I saw that the flex plate was just cracked and it should have been a much easier fix.




Would like to sell whole since it is in good shape. Had the motorcraft carb kit installed on it and will include with the car along with the original carter. Located in Grass Valley CA

Any questions PM or post here. I will answer as accurately as possible and can provide additional pictures if needed.

 Wow, if the body is rust free it would be worth someone having it shipped back to the midwest.  :occasion14:

I know it.  If I did not have my eye on a '64 American Convertible I would be considering it.

Looks like a nice one for someone either to fix or use for parts. Please don't let it go to scrapyard heaven.
Looks like it has perfect endcaps all around too.

I was going to suggest this would be a good one for Rollguy, as he has been know to take in stray Eagles, but its a long way from him, even though its in CA.

If I were home, I would come out and grab that car.  I live in Wyoming but am deployed right now.

Yes I would love to get it if it were closer. I think it should go to the sanctuary at Capt'ns place.

Hi. I know I'm new to the forum and all but I've got to ask ,Do you still have this eagle and if so how can I contact you to arrange a pick up? I live in New Mexico and my wife would love this car. Can it be towed on a car dolly? Please let me know asap. Thank you.

Your best bet is probably to contact the OP with a private message here on the forum.

This is still here, I need it gone. I would rather it go to someone who appreciates Eagles so it has a better chance of being put to good use or put back on the road. If I still have it at the end of the month it will be going on craigslist and if it is still here at the end of April I will end up calling a scrap yard to come and get it. I can help load it on your trailer or if you are near by I might be able to arrange some help with delivering it but it needs to go!!!

Come and get it. I am in downtown Grass Valley, CA 95945.

God Damnit, why isn't this the Liechtenstein. Put the car in a letter and mail it to me in Montreal, Canada.

If I remember correctly, Grass Valley is near Lake Tahoe?  That would be quite a trip for me, but I may have to just plan on it soon.  I can't see this car going for scrap, and I won't let it happen on my watch!  I will do my best to save it....Rich
