    very nice but "Has original dist cap, wires and plugs. Car was serviced regularly" .... that just doesn't sit well with me

    Only 18k miles. Some collectors who have low mileage vehicles like to keep as many original parts as possible. Just wouldn't look the same with some Chinese replacements from the parts store.

    I agree with you, why change something that is perfectly good? If it is tested and is fine, save the expense. In this "throw away world" where if it is "old" it can't be good, I'm darned glad no one has taken that approach to me yet. They'd toss my clothes - they are no where new by anyone's standards; they'd toss my shoes - same as the above; they'd toss my pet - he's 17 and needing medical care - same as me and if I didn't value him, why should anyone value me; same cars - mostly - and they aren't going anywhere soon; and , well, I was going to say same hair but...........:cry:

    well if i had the $$ and was near Montana that car would be in my driveway in a heartbeat. i love it!! its a beauty.
    where else can you gat a "brand new" 4X4 car for that kind of money?
    hopefully an AMC Eagle lover will grab it.

    I wish that was available close to me while I was looking. I would tell my wife to ignore the woodgrain. That is in nice shape.

    I still like the style of yours better Eagle Freek.

    Are those wheel covers correct? I don't know that I've ever seen an Eagle with covers like those.

    There were a couple different options for hub caps.

    My dad wanted one of these. Would have been ideal for what he wanted. I remember him being about the most enthusiastic about a car I've ever seen, other than his '35 Pierce Arrow, and I was sure he was going to buy one. I don't know why he didn't. Wish he had. I'd of inherited a nice one.
