BAAAD AMC Eagle

It would be close to impossible to duplicate this for the asking price, even if you did most of the work yourself.

This is my dream car. 91,653 original miles, engine only has 40,000 miles.
I spent a total of $20,210.43 on this custom build. I can no longer afford the payments, plus I am getting married soon and need to put money down on a house. I really hate that I have to sell my dream car but that's the way things go sometimes. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy my loss. I will loose over 8,200 dollars on this whole thing but I realize that I can't get what I put into it, so if you have any other questions please contact me. I am selling it to the first person that can give me 12,000 dollars Or Best Offer by the end of March. There are no leaks, and no faults with the engine or trans, interior is flawless, mint condition. Let me know when your available to take you for a test drive. I really enjoy driving this car, so please give me the excuse to take her out. Sadly I simply can't afford to drive it and have to down size. Below is a listing of what the I paid Speen Peterson my mechanic at Distortion Fabrication up in Murry UT to do, his number is 801-633-8833. Yes all this work was done by a certified mechanic. You can email me or text me at 630-551-6975 my name is Todd. Oh yeah, There is a full sound system that comes with the car. 12 inch infinity sub with a 1200 watt amp pushing it. Head unit and mp3 hook up conveniently placed. These add up to 500 dollars in audio equipment. Freebie on me. I have many more pictures. email me if you want to see the rest of the car. Craigslist only lets me put up four.

All that custom work and he goes and butchers the paint job around the wheel wells, WTF? It is a cool machine, would be nice to see it sitting at normal ride height, not showing its articulation flex.

 

I love it.

 

It's a shame someone gets ripped by a shop, and expects to get 1/2 his money back!

Being a wagon, maybe he'll realize a moonshiner might buy it to outrun the revenuers off-road!!

 

It was built as a off road rig not a show car. The bodies take a beating off road.

Ripped? There is a lot of custom fabrication there. Not too mention a lot of that is the price of the parts. I've done a little fab work on my Eagle and can see why it costs so much. Just the materials alone like steel, cut off wheels, welding wire, paint and etc. add up really quick.

 

I was driving through Provo on my way to Nevada and got the pleasure of meeting Todd and going for a ride in his Eagle. Amazing machine! It's fast and a very capable offroader. I should have never done it. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to come up with the cash.

 

The ultimate Eagle!
Really looks well done......
