81 amc eagle sx4 AKA: Coraline pics up
« on: April 10, 2010, 05:05:17 PM »
We've had this car for 8+ years sitting at our farm. 81 amc eagle sx4 4.2, np129 auto :(
I would type out a list of things to do but It's huge, onto the photos.







The plan:
30/35 out of an xj
4.0 h.o + manual tranny
30 inch AT
 basically looking to make a nice weekend warrior.

for some reason it didn't post my plan

My mother in law had one of these.  I remember it fondly. Yes, I like my mother in law  :)   It is a unique car that has some great possiblities but you HAVE to list what you are going to do  ;)

Nice body. Too bad the interior is so messed up. Driveline parts are pretty easy to come by as there is usually a Jeep part that can be substituted. Body and interior parts, well thats another story......



My wife's 1981 SX4 sport looked like this car except no roof rack and different rims. Even had the white fog light covers.

Nice looking Eagle, I have been searching high and low for an SX4 with no luck. Guess it just means I have more time to work on my wagon. :P
