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

    saw these on Craigslist for sale over the weekend..
    I remember when they where new back in the early 80s...
    felt fitting to buy it and park it next to my Vehicross

    I dunno, I've always liked the Eagle's. I see a few around town here.

    I think the comparison to the VX is a compact, fast off-roader.

    That is a sweet one in black!

    EDIT: This one is SWEET:

    The first time I went to the Colorado Cog (now Steamboat) Rally, an Eagle was the 0 or 00 car (it tests the course to see if it is safe and clear before the real competitors take the course). It was remarkably capable, and was holding its own with the modern Mitsus and Subarus on those dirt roads.

    Plus, I have to admit, I've got a special place in my heart for vehicles that look strange... There's got to be a reason I own both a GC6 Subaru and a VX...

    I agree. I have a thing for the obscure and different myself. If only I had the money, the time, and the garage space I would probably pick one of these up eventually. You can get 'em real cheap. I also love the AMC AMX Javelin of the early 70s. I almost bought one of these years ago as well.



    NICE!

    Well, then there's this, which personally, I think is kind of cool. That's just messing with people... and I like messing with people in subtle ways that don't get anyone killed.

    Hah you got a VX for offroad

    What you need in the garage is something else unique for the track. I personally just got a 1974 Jensen Healey running and in the garage. Production numbers just under 10000. I own two cars whose USA numbers total under 20000. Who worries about getting parts?

    This thread is funny...

    my gramps had a totally stock one of these and when he died my dad drove it around for a bit, ironically whenever he seemed to pick me and my buds up from high school.
    I remember my good old pals always making fun of it and therefore I laughed at my pops when he asked if I would want it when I got my license.

    The things I could've done with it...
