Re: [Amc-list] What's a really nice 1984 Eagle Sedan worth ??

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

We had a few back in the 80's that proved hard to repair.
It's something to look for as it was an issue that came up a few times.
Not saying it was overly common, but one we had would not behave after being pulled and gone through three times.
Factory rep signed off on a replacement after a phone call.
A porosity problem in the case was suspected.

Just something to look at with 20+ year old cars.
