Hey folks
« on: May 20, 2013, 01:49:36 PM »
I recently purchased an '84 Eagle wagon and I found this forum while browsing for information on the web. I'm really excited to know there are people out there who not only like these cars, but have gone the extra mile and formed an online community!

P.S.  I know you like pics but I don't have one just yet... gimme a few days.

Welcome from NJ. Not only is this a neat place to hang out, but all the information you could ever want on the AMC Eagle is right here. Plus there are members with stockpiles of parts for members that need them. This site has helped me out numerous times with my 86 wagon.

WOW!...an 84 with just 80k miles. Congratulations on your find.

Now for the good news...ours is also an 84 but with 170k miles and counting, all on its original engine and transmission. You will be driving yours for a loooooooooong time before it gives out. Then you will repair it and drive it some more!
