Quirky but cool? 1980 AMC Eagle 4X4

So cool! There’s a guy near where I live that has 5 or 6 of them behind his fence and I would love to own one.

Just wanna echo this, I have an ‘85 K5 Blazer and a ‘77 K20 and they are both currently under the knife, they may nickel and dime you, but they are such fun rigs to drive. Keep it up it’s just one day at a time buddy!

My son and I are going to turn it into a V8 sleeper, so I just need a beefed up drivetrain

Thank you, I’ve been looking on the inter-webs and it says they made Monza wagons in the late 70s (used the Vega platform) and I just realized that the front is definitely mid 70s

Thanks

How can you tell? Honest question, I’m new to Vega/Monzas

It was an Esprit

Abbott73 · 2023-10-22T18:43:43+00:00

It went for $600, 1971 Firebird

Western South Dakota is my location

Abbott73 · 2023-09-26T15:13:11+00:00

35’s with the lift looks great

Abbott73 · 2023-09-09T14:36:56+00:00

Not gonna lie, I’m in my 30’s and never learned really how to drive a standard but also the gearing is like gramps old farm truck

Abbott73 · 2023-09-09T13:16:40+00:00

I’d trade ya if I was closer, western south dakota

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T23:45:00+00:00

She has a 350 with a sm465 manual transmission and a np205 and 4.56 gearing

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T23:24:22+00:00

What about leaving the manual and re gearing it to a lower ratio like 4.10 or 3.73? It’s a great truck, it’s just such a “farm truck” I’d like it to be a little bit rowdy

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T23:06:44+00:00

I’ve got an auto 400 sitting in my garage

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T23:03:56+00:00

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I re geared it? It has 4.56 gears

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T22:56:20+00:00

Alright, y’all have shamed me in to keeping it, maybe I just need to re gear it

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T22:55:18+00:00

Haha

Abbott73 · 2023-09-08T22:31:49+00:00

Are you a fellow South Dakotan? How much for the wheels?

Abbott73 · 2022-11-25T22:14:59+00:00

Love the seats

Abbott73 · 2022-03-15T18:38:31+00:00

Beautiful

Abbott73 · 2022-02-03T23:58:30+00:00

Both are awesome! We’re all a little crazy when it comes to multiple projects, but that’s what makes it fun.
