Amc cars eagle Videos

Unfortunately it still had the 1970 Hornet body...

In my opinion the AMC Eagle was/is the best looking car ever made. I wish I had one.

Thank you for your video. It is very well done and it shows a deep knowledge of cars and great sense of humour. People like Jay Leno concentrate on supercars and I appreciate you focus on 'normal' cars.

Your work is incredible. Thanks for another fine video. Once again learned a lot.

I currently have 7 AMC Eagles, and had 12 at one time.. I have driven an Eagle up until several months ago. All that I have driven has gone over 200,000 miles and were running when taken off the road to put another one on. They are awesome cars and I will be putting the one I've used as a daily for 16 years back one the road. I have a barn full of parts to keep my Eagle going until I can't. I was upset to see the last independent automaker fade away. This video really hit home with me, and want to thank you so much for posting it.

Very good!! Love the video. These are amazing cars. In fact, I used to own an '81 SX/4 (the two-door hatchback version based off the Spirit) and I loved it. Unfortunately, frame-rot killed it. But even to this day in the interior of British Columbia, there are STILL Eagle Wagons prowling the highways in winter. This is a story I must share. In 2002, I was attending Vocational School and one of my classmates (Paul) was very much a Chevy guy with a jacked up 4x4 Chevy and an older Toyota 4-Runner. His truck needed an engine overhaul, and his wife needed the 4-Runner so, on a whim, he bought an older AMC Eagle Wagon. The first day he drove it to school, I, being the only AMC fan, loved the car as I had my SX/4 at the time. Paul, along with the rest of the class all felt it was a complete pile of garbage, but it was cheap. I casually mentioned that when winter comes around, pack a long chain and some jumper cables. When he asked why, I simply told him: "When it happens, you'll know." Sure enough, winter rolls around and the first heavy snowfall Paul is late for class. He shows up about an hour later looking physically exhausted. When asked what happened and why was he late, he glares at me with a look that could kill and he says: "Everybody who had driven off the road, flagged me down! And because I had a chain, I could easily pull them out!!" Turns out, on his drive to school that morning, he stopped and pulled no less than four people out of the ditch, many of which were large trucks or SUV's. All were saved by the discount, aging AMC Eagle. In this area, they are known for their winter prowess. So if you're stuck in the ditch and need help, the ONLY car you flag down is an AMC Eagle. A year later, our training is ending, Paul has rebuilt the engine in his Chevy and now had three vehicles for two people. He was also moving to Vancouver Island. When I inquired if I could purchase the Eagle, he told me that it had become such a reliable member of the family, he and his wife were selling their 4-Runner and KEEPING the Eagle!

I remember the 80s. I was way too young to drive. I remember shows like the A-Team. I remember "President" Ronald Reagan. I remember cars like this. Although no one in my family ever owned or driven an AMC Eagle 4wd, I used to see them a lot. I've always liked its basic styling. It's dated, but still attractive. It's an unforgivable disgrace that Chrysler didn't take the Eagle 4wd when they bought Jeep. I prefer an American car built in either the USA or Canada. :)

I know someone thorough Flickr that has one of these but his is green. it has been in car shows too. think these are cool so unique. Mustangs and Vettes and all those may be great but hom many to it is just another one of them. you look at the Concord and you rarely see these type car around now. there are many others too like that mostly wagons 4 door cars and economy cars that have a certain cool factor now 

i remember as a kid, I was over my grandmothers house and playing outside always loving & staring @ my grandmother ruby red '86 Caddy Sedan DeVille & then my Aunt had Pulled up with one of this these things in the drive way as I kid I new most of my cars because I love cars but this car my aunt was driving scared me It was green with a tan roof & it was the sedan model. I was scared of that thing it sat up so high off the ground. Thank God it was just a loaner I thought I was going to eat me.lol

Sweet looking AMC Eagle. I love the 83 AMC Spirit grille. This video is over 3 yrs old. Do you still have it?

Beautiful car!! Did you ever sell it?

That is one nice Eagle! I rarely see them anymore; most have rusted away to nothing or crushed.

There's a story on this eagle if anyone cares to read it. Go to google and type in "amc eagle jalopnik nice price or crackpipe" and it's the very first link. Enjoy. I was looking for an eagle around the time this was sold, too bad I'm in North Carolina. Ended up going up to PA and getting a 83 SX4 and rebuilt the 258.

Just wondering here knowing that you live in Michigan you guys might have some rough weather. How was the Eagle during the winter? Any break downs? When starting up was there any difficulty? Thanks! 

Did they ever make a 2 door wagon? Nice ride! I love me some AMC, I want an eagle, gremlin, and javelin... Just need to get rich. Thanks for the awesome video.

How has the Eagle been to you all these years Tom? My friend is considering getting one. 

My grandma from my dad's side had a green '82 Eagle wagon. I went to visit her in 1998 for the first time since I was a kid, walked into the garage and saw it sitting there. As a 17 year old I thought it was the strangest car I have ever seen. I never saw one before, nevermind the fact that I never even heard of AMC at this point. I was so puzzled by this vehicle. "This some sort of off-road wagon?" I thought.

nice eagle Tom, yours isn't missing an option even the top tow option. just got an '84 limited wagon. need to do the bearings an the cat has a hole. so I'll lose that. close to yours leather power everything even faux wood paneling
