@robertsandel8627 i thought about it but wasn't a car I'm buying or detailing so kept the attention on the cars I will be working on and detailing. I appreciate your feedback and glad you liked the video! 🙏
Most Eagles came with the 258 I-6 and a 3 speed torqueflight automatic like the 999 or 904. Watch for subframe rot inside near the engine around where the A arms mount. As far as wheels, XJ and ZJ 15" wheels will bolt up. A new fuel pump, filter and check of the fuel lines (blow the hard lines out from front to back with air pressure and replace the rubber ones). Make sure the transfer case fluid is nice and red with no gray goo traces in it. From one Wagoneer and Eagle owner to another, congrats!
I always had a sweet spot for those! I liked them! I remember back in 1981 my neighbor bought a new one for her daughter! Lucky girl! I was 18 at the time and I couldn’t afford one, or a new car at the time. Hers was blue with black accents! If I were you I’ll try to keep them original!
AMC straight 6 is a solid engine. The starter is Ford, the tranny is probably GM. I drove one of these up a ski hill one time... also played chicken on the highway, also got drunk with my cousin. What can I say, I was about 18. It was 1984. Things were different then.
Believe me, you want the straight 6. They're rock solid bulletproof, torque up the ass, incredibly easy to work on, parts available everywhere, and the Eagle 4bys are actually gaining in collectability. if I found one relatively complete, no question. AND - keep it original. Clown cars are ridiculous and have no value.
Dude, too funny. Great car , wish you luck with it. Your problem could just be the fuel pump, easy to check by cutting the fuel line and try drawing from a small container.
Very cool fine I’m right there with you on there one of my favorites and I’ve always would like to have one as well. I don’t blame you for buying all three of them.
Very rare to see these nowadays, but I'd see these rockin' around all the time in the 90's. Possible fuel pump issue. I'd say disconnect the fuel line and see if any of the old gas comes out. If it does, I'd run all the old gas out of the tank and replace with fresh and throw a new fuel filter on as well. These are gonna be sweet cars when you get them goin' and detailed.
i had two of these they were both 1984 one blue with 79000 original miles and one brown with 54000 original brown fully loaded with a 258 L engines man i miss them😪 if i money i would buy all three of form you be careful with the door handles they break easy
Dane : I am with you, I always loved the AMC Eagles. You are not correct though. Subaru was making 4 wheel drive cares, at that time. They were not all wheel drive then. Great price for the cars. I will keep on watching to to how it all goes. Peace
Там бак наверно ржавый за годы . Даже если залить бензин оно грязью забьет все от насоса до фильтра и карбюратора. Запустить мотор надо на бутылке или канистре😊
The tan hood had a hump along the right fender when it was on the maroon car. When you swapped it to the tan car, is the hump still there along the top edge of the right fender? Or was the issue with the maroon cars right fender? I am familiar with all three of these cars. I was in contact with the owner about them too.
Hey Dane! I really enjoyed this video. Great finds, looks like you will get two cars and some parts. I was disappointed that the beige or gold one was an automatic transmission -although I don't know if they made these with manuals. I am a manual transmission freak, its the only kind of car I buy and they are getting harder to find because Americans are silly people and the auto manufacturers coddle them. You can't even get a truck with a manual. Oh well. Looking forward to the upcoming videos on these cars and can't wait for you to get them on the road. On a personal note, I just want to say your videos are fun to watch and you are such an engaging guy as well as funny. All the best from Philadelphia and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I always liked these wagons I don't think the offered them with the V8. The Eagle has its roots way back to the Hornet keep that in mind when sourcing parts. AMC was great at recycling there products just change the name and trim. Good luck. Do yourself a favor when they sit that long never trust the old gas hook the gas line to a can of fresh gas and flush out the old.
Put sound heat deadner on floors with ACC new carpet and a candy apple flake paint job all new suspension upgrade all lights to LED bulbs upgrade radio and speakers this is and could be the best build on TH-cam the 2x4 was the 2door one with the wing on back please spend some money to get this car back in the spot light American Motors Deserve this type of Rebuild
love the eagles always wanted on never could afford one i had the concord toughest damn car ever owned like a tank eventuly engine blew up didnt know jack about fixen cars my best friend did he helped me rebuild engine
I just want to let you know those car's have problems with the transfer, They break down all the time, A shop I worked at had a repeat customer, There is one just like the yellow one in the garage is at a friends shop down the road from me, it's there more than he drives it, If I remember there's aluminum gears that should have been made out of steel, Maybe you will get lucky
@ Thank you so much . I live in Clare and have a Home Depot in Mount Pleasant. Haul the Amish so we drive a lot of dirt roads so was impressed with that power sprayer you was using . Thanks again & love watching your videos
I say add some race car estetic To it's looks like the Sx4 models but on the wagon would be even more spicy add some black rally wheels are turbine wheels from the sporty Sx4 with baby mud slinger tires that poke out past the fenders and wide body fender kit from Ebay man i already see the vision for this car
Save money on parts if you order from Ebay and candy apple paint job it yourself with a compressor man take all them cars and make it one Glamorous Ass build stop everything your doing on other projects this is your child hood dream car please no boring colors bring this bitch back for all us guys that wanted this car for summer and winter fun lets Gooooooooo🤙💪😎
Dane, I like your channel, but trying to fire up that car without doing something with the fuel system is a bonehead move. I can't believe you didn't disconnect the fuel line and use of an alternative fuel source. It takes a few minutes and eliminates the risk of doing a whole lot of harm running nasty fuel through the system.
Since it was 2013 years ago likely the gasoline run in that car had ethanol in it. The car was not designed to run on ethanol enhanced gasoline. The fuel pump if it's mechanical the diaphragm on the inside has torn and it's not pumping any gas. If it's an electric fuel pump ethanol condenses water the water got in the electric pump and destroys it in in winter time. If it has a fuel accumulator in it then you need to park get downhill and let it sit for 24 hours for it to start or replace the ungodly expensive fuel accumulator. I had a Rolls-Royce that always did that so I just made a habit of parking it at a 30° angle downward it and it always started. The accumulator is $1,000. So go to that gas station and found that gasoline that says 100% gas or non-ethyl gas cuz that's what that car was designed to run on or replace the pump replace the fuel filter and never put ethanol enhanced gasoline in that thing again. I'm a vintage car collector and I have a pile of dead fuel pumps outside to prove ethanol enhanced gas though a dollar a gallon cheaper is not friendly to cars built before 2005. And they did that on purpose to get those off the road so you'll buy new car and they can make vast profits off of selling you gasoline with a lot of alcohol in it., banana ethanol gas is worth its price it's not much fun to constantly be replacing fuel pump so often that you have to keep spares in the trunk.
I have bought five diesels one Audi Coupe, two Peugeot and two Mercedes, you can make that black diesel 17 gallons motor oil 3 gallons gasoline 2 gallons off-road diesel mix it up filter it vroom vroom vroom. Save the that used engine oil and transmission fluid and have you an old diesel around with a mechanical fuel pump so in the EMP wipes out all the gasoline get cars and gas stations you'll have fuel and be driving past all the people riding bicycles
Very cool fine I’m right there with you on there one of my favorites and I’ve always would like to have one as well. I don’t blame you for buying all three of them.
Thanks For Watching! 🙏
What did you think of the video? Back to details next week! 🚘💕
@@DetailDane Loved the video but would have loved to see the Oldsmobile sitting in the garage
@robertsandel8627 i thought about it but wasn't a car I'm buying or detailing so kept the attention on the cars I will be working on and detailing. I appreciate your feedback and glad you liked the video! 🙏
Please say you’ll paint the bumper the same orange as the trim on the gold eagle

I believe you are right! My wagoneer had same engine and thing never died even when I tried to kill it 😂

I had an Eagle 4 door sedan, in brown of course, in the '90's. it was a great highway car.
Drop gas tank, replace fuel pump and filter. She'll fire right up. I love them eagles too.
Check the fuel pump because it’s not pumping fuel to the engine, and you’ll probably want to drain the gas tank and put fresh gas in it
That was my next thought to drain the tank, new fuel pump, and change out the filter. Ran good when gas was in it. I appreciate the feedback 💪
The car's been sitting a long time he needs to go through the whole fuel system before he starts trying to pump gas through the f****** engine
Plus the fuel filter...
Another fun one Dane. I'm anxious to see her detailed!
Love the finds,can't wait to see what they look like all dolled up.
Love the Oldsmobile beside it in the garage
The Cutless was in awesome condition but they are keeping that one unfortunately or I'd be loading that up too! 😂
The gas by now is varnish you better off making a 78 RPM album of what's left in the tank haha
Dude, too funny. Great car , wish you luck with it. Your problem could just be the fuel pump, easy to check by cutting the fuel line and try drawing from a small container.
I have a 87 eagle and I love my mine!!!
The burgundy Eagle has the air shock/air compressor….thats rare. Be sure to keep it.
One of my all time fave cars .. Even owned one once until it was stolen .. What a great find, man ..!! Good for you
I can't wait to see that Eagle getting detailed. Make it a long video please. What a sweet car that is!
Very cool fine I’m right there with you on there one of my favorites and I’ve always would like to have one as well. I don’t blame you for buying all three of them.
They are super cool being the first cars with 4 wheel drive! Pretty much a Jeep Sedan! I appreciate you for understanding my car addiction 🙏😂

I've always wanted one too! I really liked the SX4's!
Yeah the SX/4 would be awesome to have! I'm on the lookout for one 👀
one of the best car ever
I agree with that statement 🔥
i had two of these they were both 1984 one blue with 79000 original miles and one brown with 54000 original brown fully loaded with a 258 L engines man i miss them😪
if i money i would buy all three of form you

Loved AMC eagles because of the all wheel drive, and all were undercoated at the factory
My grandparents bought a 4 door Concord DL too. Talk about a comfortable ride
the four-wheel drive system works off of vacuum and I would check for spark and check the fuel pump and filter

Maybe you can make a 'will it run?' collaboration with Davin from Hagerty for starting the engine 😉.
It's in the talks 👀 they are only 10 minutes from my shop too! 😎

Nice find
Awesome work. Reach out to Dalton at Pole Barn Garage. He did a video series on one of these.
love the eagles always wanted on never could afford one i had the concord toughest damn car ever owned like a tank eventuly engine blew up didnt know jack about fixen cars my best friend did he helped me rebuild engine
All cars came with a jack from the factory. Out of 3 cars one shuold have had one.
It could be the Fuel line, pump and or filter
👍👍👍
When I saw these in the ad I was wondering if you might need a chainsaw to get that silver car out.

Where can I find or get the washer you use to clean the underside of the cars you use ?
Home depot, it's a Ryobi Attatchment! 🔥
@ Thank you so much . I live in Clare and have a Home Depot in Mount Pleasant. Haul the Amish so we drive a lot of dirt roads so was impressed with that power sprayer you was using . Thanks again & love watching your videos
Fuel lines may be clogged.
AMC EAGLES station wagon
if you need help getting these running I can help you I live in melvindale Michigan just outside Detroit
You're trying to petrified gas ⛽
try the fuel pump
I say add some race car estetic
