The86manche Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 If you happen to need any misc parts I happened to have stumbled upon one of these in the trees of a local junk yard. A car had been sitting on it so the roof qnd rear gate are rough. Gate glass gone. And right tail light is broke. But otherwise it's complete. I wish I got a photo. Also found a squished spirit or gremlin that was a stick shift. And most of a grand wagoneer Which I got photos of instead of course lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the plan! Thankfully, the car came with many extra trim pieces and wiring pieces, but I’m still looking for many parts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 First snow! It did great, but it was only 3/4”. Never needed 4 wheel drive, but I tested it to make sure it works anyways. Tomorrow we are supposed to get anywhere between 1 and 12 inches of snow. I’m ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 I found a craigslist ad for a car that would have been nearly identical to mine. This one is a year older and has power windows and locks, but the color combo is right. https://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/d/glen-cove-1985-amc-eagle-4wd/7406899777.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 It is loaded up quite a bit, but I've never found myself wishing for more options. That color combo sure is pretty though, when its shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Neat old picture of my Eagle at where I now work from many years ago, either right before it was out in the barn, or right after it was pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Just a photo dump. The snow picture was right after Christmas. The others are after I got the car 5 years ago. When we were rescuing it. It coming home the first time. Parked out back while finding a parts car. Different wheels and tires while waiting to find a parts car. The Eagle with our old 59 Chevy Wagon. It looks like this was during the engine swap, the hood is off as you can see the hood hinges. The parts car. The post-Christmas snow. This happened while I was at work (yes, the same place I got the car from). Whenever I go to work, this car parks about 100 feet from the spot I rescued it from 5 years ago. 4” of snow in a few hours was not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Never a dull moment owning 2 80s AMC products. The transmission cooler got plugged up and cooked the transmission. We pulled it out and I’m bringing it to get rebuilt tomorrow. It wouldn’t shift into second or third anymore. It went from no issues, to not shifting in 2 days.
