This 1981 AMC Eagle station wagon previously resided in California and Tennessee and came to the selling dealer in a February 2015 BaT auction. The car was refreshed under prior ownership approximately 10 years ago, including a repaint in red with black lower surfaces over a black vinyl interior with reupholstered seats. The 4.2-liter inline-six and the three-speed automatic transmission were reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership, and other noted past work included a new exhaust system with catalytic converter, fitment of an exhaust header, replacement of the heater control valve, and more as described below. Under current ownership the car has received new front shocks, rear air shocks, front and rear springs, and a new battery. This AMC Eagle is now offered by the selling dealer in Indiana with a clean Tennessee title.

The car was repainted in two-stage red with black lower surfaces approximately 10 years ago, and it has received a replacement factory grille, refinished stainless-steel trim, and new rubber seals and weatherstripping. The fender flares show imperfections as replacements could not be sourced during the refurbishment.

The prior owners reportedly replaced the front driveshafts, hub bearings, leaf springs, bushings, steering-column shims, Pitman arm, tie-rod ends, and ball joints. Under current ownership the car received new front shocks and coil springs as well as new rear air shocks and leaf springs. Factory 15″ alloy wheels are fitted with Bridgestone Dueler A/T tires. The seller suggests that the larger tires be replaced with smaller ones to increase turning radius.

The seats have been reupholstered in factory-style black vinyl with replacement cushions, and other replacement components reportedly included new front door hinges and a replacement headliner, which now exhibits sagging. The sill plates have been polished, and the car retains a factory three-spoke steering wheel. The factory cassette radio and air-conditioning system are not functional.

Factory instrumentation includes an 85-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, a temperature gauge, and a digital quartz clock. The five-digit odometer shows just over 21,500 miles and is believed to have rolled over, though it is unknown how many times. A few hundred miles have been added by the seller, and true mileage is unknown.

The 4.2-liter inline-six and the three-speed automatic transmission were reportedly rebuilt approximately 8k miles ago under prior ownership, and power is sent to all four wheels via a full-time all-wheel-drive system with a single-speed transfer case with viscous coupling. The car received a cooling-system refresh and was fitted with an aftermarket header during the refurbishment approximately 10 years ago. Other replacement components included the idler pulley, belts, air pump, hoses, fuel pump, power-steering pump, exhaust system, catalytic converter, heater-control valve, and transfer-case link belt. The selling dealer has installed a new battery.

The February 2020 Carfax report shows ownership in California and Tennessee between 1988 and 2012, with no updates since 2012. No accidents or other damage are indicated, and a potential odometer rollover is noted in April 2000. A walk-around and drive video is viewable below.
