An Eagle, AKA the biggest rolling POS on the road when it did run, and the source of enormous frustration the rest of the time. I have vowed to never again own an AMC. The concept behind AMC is great, use the best components from the mainstream manufacturers but then they slapped them together so poorly and without any regard to maintenance so it's just a giant PITA to work on them.
It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't wanted one since they were new, but it was such a letdown. The Wagoneer I had was the same way, but the older Kaiser one was built much better. My AMC Wagoneer had had at least three electrical fires before I got it and then I wound up completely rewiring it. Giant pockets in the back body to catch any water that just happened to leak around the roof rack or inadequate rear seals, and rotted from the inside out- Yeah I'm done with AMCs.
