The AMC Eagle was a revolutionary car when released and always looks modified to me -- even in stock form. It was AMC's late '70s answer to the OPEC oil embargo and high gas prices that followed; sales of traditional pickup trucks and SUVs were down but AMC needed a way to pad their bottom line with more sales of profitable 4WD-equipped vehicles that were powered by inline-4 and inline-6 cylinder engines.
However, today's Eagle is long done with its fuel sipping days and launches forward on all four wheels powered by a 390 cubic inch AMC V8 that has been built to make power.
The interior features a form-follows-function racer look; totally gutted and fitted with a full cage....which is good, because if you listened to the Dave Coleman DT Radio Show, you'd know that the only two ways to end a rally is on the podium or up-side-down.

It looks like more fun than a stock one. I still think id love to have one of these it'd be sweet to have just for the rich neighborhood I live in hates my lowly 200 and I imagine what they would think if I had something like this up on blocks in the driveway.
