I bought a $300 hoopty [AMC Eagle]

Hey folks, Internet Dude here. So I bought yet another project vehicle. I just don't know when to quit I guess LOL.

This beauty is a 1986 AMC Eagle. Well, it's two actually. One is a bit nicer with lower mileage and the other is basically a parts car due to engine and brake problems. So the car is a 258 cid 4.2L inline 6 cylinder with the 3 speed automatic transmission (998). The good car runs really well and I'm just the third owner after 33 years. AMC stands for American Motors Corporation.

I've always like the AMC Eagles but especially the station wagons with woodgrain. The Eagle was also available in a 2-door SX4 model and a 4-door sedan version. All Eagles came with 4WD, or more properly all-wheel-drive. They are basically AWD because you can run them in 4WD every day of the year even on dry pavement with little penalty to fuel economy and driveline wear.

If you're still reading this far LOL the real reason I bought it is because when I was a kid I used to ride in one of these that my grandma had back in the '80s. So I have good memories of such a car.

This was basically a crossover before crossover and AWD was a thing. Now AWD crossovers are all the rage.
