Somebody Lifted A Gremlin: 1981 AMC Eagle Kammback
The AMC Eagle was sold in a number of different body styles, but where things get confusing is when you transition from the 4-door sedan/wagon/coupe versions built on the AMC Concord chassis but the 2-door SX/4, Kammback, & Sundancer models were built on the AMC Spirit subcompact chassis. However, there is nothing quite like combining the ungainly ride height of the Eagle with the Concord front end and a Gremlin rear end. Find this 1981 AMC Eagle Kammback offered for $5000 in Edgewood, NM via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Ah, Edgewood NM! I have mentioned on here before that I bought a 55 Chevy gasser out there.

The gravel 4×4 picture and the energy drinks makes me think of Napoleon Dynamite
I like the dog better than the car.
This seller is very optimistic on the price. As my buddy, Fred, used to say, "Being rare is NOT the same as being valuable."
btw, the sundancer is based on the coupe NOT the smaller cars… flip side… basically same pan underneath just shorter on the gremlin/kamback, etc.
