HOrnbrod Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The mid-engine turbo could really scoot! But the pedestrian R5 was a real POS, as was most everything Renault produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres an AMC Eagle wagon by my farm I've thought about snagging and dropping a 340 into. FYI, I have all the factory instructions for putting an AMC V8 into an Eagle. Handwritten by AMC engineers and given to me by a buddy there....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Remember the SX4 Eagle? It was the predecessor to my old street car, Eagle Talon TSi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I remember when the eagle came out. I thought it was sort of a goofy little car. Now I look back and think it was way ahead of its time, by about 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91Pioneer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I really like Eagles, my grandma had two when I was young and impressionable. I rode in the back seat of them for many years on various trips/outings. This almost gives me a stiffy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's nice, but we've seen it about 5-6 times already mate. :rotfl2: The Mark Donahue TransAm Javelin was my favorite AMC car. Got to see it a couple of times at Lime Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well, did you get the photo of the yellow Comanche I emailed you? Saw the car at Laguna Seca. Donahue was driving a Penske Camaro that won the race. Parnelli Jones was in a Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sitting gathering dust now in the Hesco "museum" in Birmingham. And no, didn't get the pic Cruiser. Where was that taken? Surely not in Birmingham, AL. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
