AMC cars are loved for their distinctive styling and powerful performance. Owners appreciate the unique character, strong engines, and solid handling of models like the Javelin and Eagle. However, some drivers face issues with maintenance, rust, and limited power in certain models. While AMC vehicles are recognized for their classic appeal, some aspects like gas mileage and build quality can be concerns. Overall, they provide a fun driving experience and nostalgic value.

This car is in magnificant condition. It has the 258 I6 Crysler in it with a 3 speed B&M slap shifter. Exterior is perfect but the interor needs a little TLC. I love this car and will never get rid of it
Great acceleration, decent brakes, decent handling for its day. The color, Castilian Grey Metallic, was introduced in 1969, was great, but the paint code was wrong and caused lots of problems getting paint work done. The AC was inadequate & the windows rattled from day one. I installed the Trendsetter Sidewinder side pipes, which really looked good on the car. Also installed a Hurst shifter, as the stock shifter was not so hot. I read recently that they were equipped with Hurst shifters from the factory - not true. 390 V8, front disks, all the Go Pack options ordered separately because I didn't want stripes. Lots of room in the car - I cold pack my entire set of double bass Ludwig drums in the car.
It is the first cross over, first car to have full time 4x4, it is 25 years old so obviously it is built solid, got a 4.2 straight six with great torque. Car almost saved AMC from chryslers death grip.
the 4 wheel drive got it anywhere no matter the weather. power wasnt bad and the heater worked decently. the engine ALWAYS started, even in -30 and no block heater. it wasnt a sports car by any stretch of the imagination and the suspension reminds you on every turn, but there is something cool about pulling Jeeps out of snowbanks with a compact station wagon
For it's time, the AMC Eagle was ahead of its time. The 4WD drive train will get you home in any weather. It's design was of the 80's era, with comfortable seats. However the optional vinyl top caused moisture buildup and caused rust on the roofs of many cars, including mine.
