Those who enjoy snow are those who never get it.

Eagle.

Nicely done!!! usually I get a response like "a messed up Jeep" or "I don't know what it is but it's ugly," I'm glad you know the classics

Post by: ssapach on November 04, 2011, 01:18:28 PM: Never forget the AMC Eagle....my parents had one when I was younger.

I believe it was a 1985 and they had it til around 1999 or so. Interesting cars I think.

The first dealership I worked at was Chevrolet, Jeep, Eagle, AMC, Renault! lol What a mix! The Eagle & Renault was dropped eventually but not quick enough!

Post by: mach1mustang351 on November 05, 2011, 02:56:50 PM: It's a very interesting car. I have spent so much time and effort on mine it is kind of crazy to think about. It is lifted 3" it has a Jeep 4.0L engine which they never came with Factory. It has the matching Jeep AX-15 Manual trans and a NP242 case. I have 4hi and 4 lo which the Eagles never had. I have no idea why I like them so much but i do. I would love to start an AMC Eagle Shop because I think I have every nut and bolt memorized on the darn thing. The market segment is just a little narrow.

Post by: zieg85 on November 05, 2011, 05:42:03 PM: I brought my grandma's 79 AMC Concord home when she no longer desired to drive. It had only 17K on it. I had it for a while and did a couple of cruises in it but just didn't have that sentimental value so I sold it to an AMC nut and he sold it to some museum out in Colorado. I always thought the 4x4 version was neat.

Ouch. That is borderline offensive. This is a very capable snow vehicle and is a good driver. I'm sorry for your bad experiences with AMC in the past.
