1984 AMC Eagle Wagon review from North America
"Always gets me where I want or need to go"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basic maintenance.
Clutch, tires, battery, radiator, water pump, exhaust, wheel bearings, shocks, and various sundries.
Tranny broke after 50K worth of abuse.
New custom front frame rails to replace rusted ones. Only time the car had been inside was for repairs so the rust was anticipated.
General comments?
Bad ass wagon for 4-wheeling and snow belt duty.
Two feet of snow can't stop it.
Low range transfer case, brush guard, limited slip differential, and custom lift added.
