1980 AMC Eagle 30

Long before all-wheel drive became common in everyday passenger cars, the AMC Eagle combined car-like comfort with four-wheel-drive capability. This 1980 AMC Eagle is an especially interesting two-door example with just 60k original miles, finished in Olympic White with a partial white vinyl roof and plenty of unmistakable late-1970s and early-1980s personality. Power comes from AMC's 258 cubic inch, 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a TorqueFlite A998 automatic transmission. The Eagle's full-time 4x4 system works with an independent Dana 30 front axle and Dana 35 rear axle, giving this 4WD AMC Eagle the extra traction that separated it from conventional passenger cars of its era. Power steering and power front disc brakes add to its road manners. Inside, Nutmeg vinyl bucket seats feature plaid inserts that fit the period perfectly. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, floor shifter, factory air conditioning, original AMC radio, and factory manual pop-up sunroof make the cabin a surprisingly well-equipped place to spend some time. Outside, front auxiliary lights and 15-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in General Grabber A/T tires reinforce its adventurous side. For anyone searching for an American Motors Eagle for sale, this clean two-door offers an unusual piece of AMC history. The American Motors Eagle 4x4 blurred the line between passenger car and off-road-capable utility vehicle years before that combination became commonplace. With low original mileage and its distinctive two-door body, this Eagle is ready for the road, the trail, or simply a spot in a collection of cars that dared to be different!
