[BaadAssGremlins] re: AMC towing / why is it? 78 Concord Touring Wagon

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This old white 82 Eagle has 210,000 miles on it,

a Class III hitch and has towed many a AMC for me since 1992(?) or so. Never used a full 
sized trailer on it, always tod dolly. Some cars hauled distance like 74 Sportabout wagon 
down to Corpus Christi, about 210-225 miles one way.

Others a little more difficult like 71 Matador brought about 60 miles,

had to take it easy with that one as heavier and while the Eagle handled it no problem in 
2WD, just seemed heavier than Eagle Matty battled it whole way so had to be careful 
slowing down and turns otherwise uneventful.

while earlier we were talking about 'special amcs and regional specials' how many of you 
ever seen a uber rare 78 Concord "Touring Wagon"? This one would have been the perfect tow 
vehicle with factory 304V8, and rarity of it thru the roof...sold for $1000

I have only seen photos of them, never seen one up close. Check out groovy interior. Seems 
the Airstream folks are fond of towing their big trailers with Eagles, Concords & Pacers:
