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

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: I have cured the lag to reverse several ways. Adjusting the bands was the most common (I'd put in a new Teflon coated ring in the accumulator and low reverse plunger at the same time). The other was a can of STP engine oil treatment in the trans oil. (easiest to put into the pan just before reinstalling it) I have revived nearly dead Mopar type trans (and even the TH400 in my '73 J4000) this way and kept them going way beyond normal expectations. (Could be my imagination, but fuel economy seems better too)

That's a hard call to make.
What's it worth to you?
Could be anywhere from a $1000 car on up!

  A lot of times these low mileage cars have hidden demons. 
Look it over very carefully, especially the inner rockers as they are kind of hidden witht he claddign and all. You can only really see the bottom edge so they can be gone and go unnoticed by a casual glance.
   Also if it has a vunyl top check around the rear glass carefully too.
 
Don't forget axle boots!
 
Check for delayed engagement into reverse when it's first started. They usually run a long time this way, but it is an issue with some of them.
 
enough doom and gloom for now...
 
Good luck!
