I worked for a GM dealer for 2 years. You rarely saw those things come in for anything. When they did it was for stupid stuff that someone couldn’t get to or jobs that needed a lift. I have one myself that I bought off a friend who trashed it. He used it like a glorified sports locker. I got new carpet all the way around for extremely cheap. The backseat was always folded down so some leather cleaner brought it right back. I did have to reupholster the front seats and replace the foam which was a job I did one winter Friday night in my living room. I POR-15ed the frame cause it was a bit nasty looking ( POR-15 absolutely bonds to rust btw) then a coat of gloss black rustolium to cover the POR-15. I abused my dealer connections and got new shocks and brakes for a stupid low price and was able to have the bodyshop repaint it in its original white. Some NOS bumpers and a headlight resto kit and the thing looks brand new. Used it as a spare vehicle or a boat/ vacation rig to help my dad. I also used like 3 cans of gunk to clean the engine bay. Has about 85k on it but it’s running good. Was glad I had it cause when I ran into legal problems and was forced to give back my 22 Toyota Tacoma to help pay for fines I did still have something to get me around. The most important thing is I don’t have a car payment right now and I need every dime I can get. So long as the old GMC keeps going I’ll keep driving it

The best series on the channel. That Eagle is the spiritual predecessor to the Crosstrek, and that's no compliment. I guessed $1,300 figuring there are enough fans who'll be stupid with their money. That Datsun was still quite competitive with the Toyota Pickup of its day. I remember people liking these, and that design looks great when cleaned up with a new paint job. My guess was $1,800. The Yukon... People still want those. My guess was $5,400. I guessed before knowing the odometer issue. 😅

AMC was always cash strapped and just kept things going longer than most companies. The Eagle is the 4WD version of the Concord, which is just a mild update of the Hornet. My mom had a Hornet Sportabout wagon that looked exactly like this Eagle from the A-pillar back, maybe more. I mean, it had a different front end with two round lights but that's really the only difference (except for the ride height). It even had the same interior. I think it was from the early 70s. So this basic platform has been around for a while!

In the early 2000s, I was looking for a budget classic 4x4 while I was in high school. Ended up picking up 72 Bronco for $500. Cut the fenders out, added a cheap lift, and 33s. Was a pretty cool trail rig for the time. I'm gathering parts now to V8 swap it and put a better suspension in it. I like the Eagle the best out of those 3. I could see myself with one of those.

I know two guys who purchased Eagles in the late 1980s with the intent, right out of the gate, of utilizing them for off road use as hunting and fishing trip "SUVs". Both vehicles are still on the road in 2023 and have undergone numerous suspension and interior changes, not to mention camo paint jobs, etc. etc. We are in the middle of hunting season here in South Carolina but if I can get in contact with either Eagle owner, I will ask them for permission to photograph their vehicles and send them to you. To this day I miss the early model 4X4 Hardbody I purchased used in 1999.

The 258 of the time period has a plastic valve cover, including on Jeeps. Easy fix these days as there are steel and aluminum ones. But it was cool because it kind of sat up high. And it was an AWD car LONG before Subaru falsly started to claim it was the worlds first AWD sport utility wagon (Technically the Wagoneer was the first in 1974).

That Eagle may be tired, but considering it's the same engine they were using in Jeeps up until maybe a decade or so ago, they're easy to work on and to get parts for. Besides, you just don't SEE AMC Eagles these days, I really wanted one of these as my first car here in Michigan because I wanted a classic that could be driven in the snow and not a Jeep Wrangler or a bigger 4X4, just couldn't find one. These AMC Eagles are definitely a slept-on classic that one day will become rather desirable, so should definitely get one while you still can! Edit: My guess about why the Yukon went for so little was BECAUSE the odometer was broken, not knowing the exact mileage of the vehicle can be a bit of a red flag to a lot of bidders.

The Eagle brand was created by Chrysler for former AMC dealers to have a label to sell cars under, in addition to the Jeep brand which had always been separate from the AMC brand. Jeep/Eagle dealers had Americanized Renault cars (Medallion and Premier) that Chrysler was contractually obligated to build and sell for a while. They had a/some Mitsubishis (Talon...?). And some Chryslers too after the Renault cars were retired.
