Happily, I only have one picture of my 3rd car: an AMC Eagle whose vintage I was thinking was 1989... but it must have been earlier. In any case, this scow was done long before I bought it; most of the wiring under the hood was a tangle of melted crud, the exhaust system leaked, it was stuck in 4-wheel-drive, and in the summertime the heat had to be put on full-blast to prevent the engine from overheating. But it had a sunroof, so it wasn't too bad. more oven-like than kiln-like...I adjusted.

 It was a temporary measure, so I let it fall apart.
Turned in to a flat-fix place once, only to have the right front wheel fall off- king post nut had come off, days, maybe weeks before. Fortunately, there was a garage next door, and fortunately it didn't come off on the highway... I got rid of it soon after.
 Note again, the peeled-off vinyl roof... this was taken at the marina where I lived for awhile aboard a boat; that's a windsurfer lashed to the top of the Eagle... got it for free but never used it. Too busy.
 Look at that car, will you? what a *@#&!% bucket of $*%@!

Bwahahahaaa! Not fair to the car... but man... that car looks hilarious!  ;D

The things some will do

It's the classic sedan, that looks like a premature SUV and would-be convertible... It has a wit of everything, but nothing really...  ;D ... Sorry Rotty...  ;D

The things some will do

Funny- I misread your post: though it said "Some things will do"...
But it did indeed, for several months.  Even repaired the suspension after the Wheel Incident, and kept driving it for awhile. I once hauled about 1/2 ton of steel scaffolding piled on the roof of that thing. It was pretty tough.
But what a pig...

A friend of mine had an Eagle Wagon and loved it.  He put a 4" lift kit and bigger tires and went everywhere with it.  He also had winches front and back and I never seen him get stuck.

 But we all know what AMC really stood for:

   A = All
   M = Mistakes
   C = Combined        ;D

Wow. Cool, but if I owned it I crash it the first chance I had.  :P

LOL. You can imagine what would've happened had that wheel come off while I was bombing down the Turnpike at 75 mph or so, zooming around a curve. Maybe on a tight offramp, yeah, that would have been really special.
I'd very likely not be sitting here typing this.
It was after that that I started to get pretty serious about maintaining my vehicles...

out of your cars you've shown so far rd this is superb...sighs...what id'e give for one of those.

Give nothing.  Steer clear. Stay away.... far away.
Now- a hot-rodded Gremlin, aye, that's something else...
