Seems logical that if you own a VX, you should own one of these too

When the AMC Eagle first came out, they were a very big hit for people who lived in Alaska!!! AMC Dealerships in Alaska couldn't hardly keep them in stock, as they would be immediately sold once they arrived at the dealership. I imagine there are quite a few of them in Alaska still running around. When AMC first introduced it, it was state-of-the-art, and way ahead of its time with absolutely no competiton from any other manufacturer, except maybe the little Subaru 4x4 station wagon and the little Subaru 4x4 Justy during the same time period. Later, when AMC went out of business, Chrysler Corporation bought the Jeep Division of AMC. The rest of the AMC line faded into history.

My best friend while growing up had one of these....blue...underpowered by todays standards but was somewhat of an attention getter back in the day.

Underpowered?? I had one back when... it was wicked fast for what it was... AWD... I used to light up all 4 at traffic lights... scare the beejees outta my friends... the tranny was built for an tank... I was taking off from a stop sign from L to 2 to Drive... but flipping from 2 to D, I went past to R... started spinning wheels backwards at about 60mph... almost lost control and barely missed a telephone pole... but the tranny barely blinked and I never had a problem with it... THAT's solid... do that with a current car... prolly drop the tranny right out on the road then and there.

I dunno, my buddy had like a carburated 6 cyl. in his that was no where near the hp rating of our VX's...maybe you had a different set-up/engine than his.
