'82 4 door sedan project for sale in So. Cal
« on: January 18, 2013, 09:34:05 PM »
I have decided to sell my '82 4 door sedan project, as I don't have the time to work on it.  Please read the thread and view photos:
http://forums.amceaglenest.com/index.php?topic=37254.0

I have not done anything with it since it arrived.  I am willing to sell the 4.0 liter engine and computer separately.  It would be nice to see this Eagle finished and "flying" again.  PM Rich or email: [email protected]

I sold the engine a few months ago, so just the car and parts are for sale.  I moved the car across the street at my father-in-law's house before summer, hoping to work on it (much more room), but it has gotten cold now.  Also with standard time, it is dark in the evenings and the lighting in the garage is not all that great.

It gets below freezing at night here in the winter.  The high desert is at 3,500 foot above sea level.  With the time change, it is dark at 5:00 pm, so no work can be done in the cold and poorly lit garage...Rich

Yep me too. I have tried for years to convince the wife we need to move to Arizona. Its no use she won't leave the grandkids. But then again I wouldn't either. But the warm weather all year long would sure be nice. Could do without the snow also.

Rafe- you get a gold star for paying attention! (or in this case an egg or whatever this board calls it).

Would you believe it if I told you I worked on the sedan today?   It was such a nice day today, and I was already working at my father-in-laws house (installing a dog door), that I took an hour and tinkered with the car a bit. I was able to install the dash and the door weatherstrip.  I have to say that I am very happy that all the parts and pieces are all marked and in bags or boxes. Also, there was new door weatherstrip, window channel, window wiper strips, and rear window provided.  It may not take as long as I thought it would to put the car back together, and therefore I may not sell it.  The more I work on it, the more I am liking it!   This may just turn into a build thread instead of a for sale thread.  Photos to come next time I work on it...Rich

Would love to see you get it back together rollguy! Sounds like the organization of the PO may help you change your mind about selling. Here's to hoping you have more nice days this winter in CA! :)
