Default 83 AMC Eagle Wagon
Has the 258 and an auto
I plan on using her to tow stuff when I get her back from the shop (in for Rear Main Seal, no garage to fix myself)
Don't worry about the bumper hitch, I'm getting rid of that and putting on a class 2 or greater frame hitch

Nope, I've got 2, I'm restoring (well, I will be when I get a place to put the parts that are in the car herself)
I also have an 81 Eagle Kammback with 300,000 miles, I'm only the second owner of that one

The 4WD Gremlin? Ugh, why?

Some folks will torture themselves wasting money on all sorts of insanity...

I'm an AMC guy, and this wagon has pulled more than her fair share of Jeeps out of ditches
the Kammback has no power, 151 CID 4 popper, rare car

Heck, since you have a 33 year old boat, your 26 year old tow vehicle must seem like brand new!

Unfortunately, never towed the boat with that, only thing that was towed with since we have owned it, is my dad's old trucks, 77 F150 Ranger XLT, and a 79 F150 "GT" (somebody screwed that truck up before we bought it)

The last few years of those weren't bad for what they were.

I started my selling career at an AMC/JEEP dealer in Hartford Ct. These wagons were the hottest used vehicle you could have on the lot. We actually had a waiting list for these wagons and the sedan version. Not a bad vehicle for the snow country, but the 4wd system (quadra-trac?) was a nightmare to repair and cost a fortune!
Thanks for the trip in the wayback machine!
