There was a raffle yesterday at our local Toys for tots after party and one of the items being raffled was a 1984 AMC eagle..... The picture below is NOT it.... but would have been nice to be the winner.... 
This could have easily been converted to :

I know that rig! Owned by the co-owner of our local 4x4 shop. Wheel with him quite a bit. His latest mod was dropping a V8 in it. He no longer just climbs the hills out at the park, he jumps them! Right now, the eagle is sitting in front of their shop wrapped in about 2000 Christmas lights, though. |

My senior year of high school, my grandfather gave me a black Eagle -- I think it was an '82. Nothing fancy but it ran, and the 4WD worked. It died a violent death one frigid night in January when the throttle stuck. My step-dad thought he could drive the car home for me. I had just clocked out from my job at K-mart. I remember seeing my Eagle spinning all over the snowy parking lot like a Penny Racer, belching black smoke. My step-dad got it about 200 yards down the road before the engine seized. I couldn't afford a new or rebuilt engine, so I sold it to an Amish guy for $300. |

So what did an Amish guy do with an Eagle??  Or was he one of those half-a$$ed Amish that says its OK to drive a car?

Winter buggy. whole lot warmer when you're being drawn by horses in the winter if you're enclosed:D my buddy in high school had an AMC Eagle wagon that didn't run. we had a spare 304 and we considered using it, but too many other projects got in the way |
