That looks like a decent car but it has not met the reserve yet. I don't care for Eagle's. The extra weight of a plain Hornet wagon and some good radial snow tires is fine for me. I have had no problem with the new orange Hornet last winter with plain old BFG T/A's in the snow. I would like a Sportabout but am not actively looking for one. If the one I was told about turns up here and is in decent shape i'll junk my 77 Malibu and buy it. If not I will just keep it as a spare car for me and my son to use and as a winter beater for another year or two.
