Abandoned AMC Eagle Wagon | Will It Drive 1200 Miles Home | Cross The Line

We bought a clapped out 84 Eagle Wagon for $500 in South Dakota and decided to road trip back to East Texas after the previous owner said he wouldn't drive it to town! Follow along as we drive a cool hotrod to South Dakota, fix this disaster and drive it home! What kind of issues will we have along the way!?

Looks like it was a really fun trip. I'm glad you're keeping the Eagle going. Great video! I really enjoyed it.

[@Crossthe_line]

It was fun! I've wanted one for years and it's going to be my new daily! Thanks for watching!

Great video! Glad I found your channel! Gives me motivation to finish my drag and drive mustang. Looks like y’all had a lot of fun!!

[@Crossthe_line]

@@codywallace9322 Thanks man! Get that mustang finished and give me motivation to finish my drag and drive Granada!!

[@codywallace9322]

@ hell yeah! Love granadas! My dad has one sitting in his back yard in Carthage.

[@RoadHeros610]

Mann we would have loved to hear that big block moving down the road..

[@QwikVidz]

Do you have a playlist for the soundtrack?

[@Crossthe_line]

No, this all came from epidemic sound

[@DakotaSchultZ-l6z]

Let me geuss you never going to do another vid on this are you

[@Crossthe_line]

@@DakotaSchultZ-l6z 🤣🤣 uh yes actually!! I love this thing!

[@DakotaSchultZ-l6z]

Oh sweet

Helluva a trip and vid production! You should have way more subs. My mom bought an 84 amc eagle 4x4 sedan. Dont remember the top of the line designation but it was black and loaded. I loved it. Turned out to be a real lemon but i still loved it.

[@Crossthe_line]

@@jasonstarnes3838 Thanks!! I've always liked these Eagles and would like to have a nice one someday.

[@mistermacgray]

So, it transitioned from needing a ton of work to skipping to later that night, and all of the work was done. I feel as if less of the beginning adventure was needed, and more of the wreching aspects should have been shown.

[@Crossthe_line]

@mistermacgray I feel the same way, I was having battery issues and parts running issues which botched the rebuild. I'm still pretty new at this and trying to find my groove. Thanks for the constructive criticism, I appreciate a genuine look from outside sources.

[@alexray55]

You should have bought the one I had that i sold last year lol

[@600wheel]

The key to those 4.2 L, rip everything off the motor (the computer makes a good tire chalk….might not have one at its age) except for most of the intake, the exhaust manifold and the alternator and the water pump and then put an MSD ignition box on it slap an MSD distributor into it and put a Holly carb on the intake but take that heater unplug it knocked the fingers off of it and port match the exhaust manifold and the intake manifold and BOOM you got a torque demon on your hands that can’t be easily killed….but you’re also going to want a shift transmission and NOT THE PEUGEOT 🤪 yah in the YJ’s they had a Peugeot transmission. And the weber carburetter for it you may as well start dating a redhead at the same time because thing can’t get more screwed up

[@Crossthe_line]

@@600wheel 🤣🤣 Thanks for the info!!

[@600wheel]

@ I forgot about the 3 hour easy cam swap…..Yah I’m a fan of the 4.2 and get a little excited when I see one🤣🤣🤣🤣Miss my YJ

[@Crossthe_line]

​@600wheel I bought ANOTHER parts car in Minnesota when I got home and it has a great running engine and trans that I'll swap into mine. Looking at building my original 258 while it's out.

[@600wheel]

@ Not a cheap motor to hot rod and it’s little brother the 4.0 is better but still worth it especially as an off-road toy.

[@Crossthe_line]

@600wheel I'm actually looking into putting the 4.0 efi on for better offroad capabilities.

[@RoadHeros610]

Wait you did it when I texted it ..but more of that than the music
