Oh come now, the amc eagle is a nice car, granted the frame tends to rot, a lot, a whole lot, and the 4.2 valve covers were plastic and leak oil errywher, but the point was it was a perfectly good amc eagle, as in for an amc eagle. I like em, especially the sx/4's. They are unbeatable in the snow, my friend who I sold the sx/4 to could not get it stuck last winter, it just crawls through whatever. And the point was why destroy a rare car, whose parts are harder to find than anything you can think of for a mark VIII, when there are plenty of other cars to split on a plow.
