Something I forgot to mention that onree mentioned is that my Eagles are
great for Houston's ever changing weather. Like hurricanes
all of them did extra duty, even pulling some vehicles like SUV's 3 times
their weight, out of flooded ditches around the neighborhood, my 82 white Eagle
pulled 1000+ limbs down street with towstrap.

questions
I've
got a couple of Eagles, and drive my 1982 SX/4 with 258 six automatic quiet a
bit. Mileage nothing to brag about at around 15-17 but great in the snow, even
with just the regular all season radial tires. Always starts, even in really
cold weather, but is kind of balky until warmed up. Runs nice and cool in the
summer and the a/c works great. Hope this helps.

I had a guy come in to work the other
day and offered me an Eagle he wanted to sell.
It is a blue '85 wagon with 75k on
its 6 banger and auto. He told me he bought it from the proverbial old
lady and since then has put $3500 into it. He said it needed wiper
linkage and he'd sell it to me for $1000. It has been stored most of
its life and has hardly any rust.
I was wondering what anyone on the
group thought if I should get it or not. I already have 3 other
vehicles on the road, my Hornet, an F150 and a Buick Century. The
Buick is is my daily driver and is getting tired so I am looking for a
replacement. I was wondering what I would expect for mileage, since it
would be my daily driver. I commute about 50 miles a day to
work and back and travel between 15 and 20 thousand miles a
year.
I just thought Id try the group for
some input.
Thanks
