Eagle didn’t debut until the 1980 model year.
1978 was the last year for the Matador, period.
the Eagle was a new model for 1980, not 1979.
That’s a 1974 Matador.
The Ford in the first pic is a 1971.
If you get the AC fixed, you’ll have a nice ride that should last you a few years.
aw, man!
and what’s sad is that here in the South we routinely throw away Grand Wagoneers that have virtually no rot at all in them...
This Grand Waggie doesn’t look as rusty and crusty as the last one. How is it in comparison?
The Pacer never got the 2.0 four cylinder. It was hefty enough that the 232 six was the base engine for Pacer. The 2.0 four was used in 1978 Gremlin, 1978-79 Concord, and 1979 Spirit.
The LTD is one of my bucket list cars. I *LOVE* those cars! Although, I’d prefer a Landau version with the hidden headlights.
I have been having that thought for several years now. Once the greybeards that currently drive the hobby start to die off, the younger set will eschew the older “unsafe, gas-guzzling polluters” and many of them will dispose of them post-haste. I’ve seen auction websites with nice old cars that don’t have any apparent…
Get a Police Interceptor Crown Vic. You won’t miss the manual transmission.
Just think—-if you’d have invested your funds/efforts into either the J10 or the Golden Eagle instead of that POStal heap, think how much further along you’d be...
You’re running through your given allotment of guardian angels, pal. Better stop tempting fate!
Am I alone in thinking that while a neat concept, this is going to be just one hopelessly complicated and expensive boondoggle? Have we deteriorated that much that we can’t just have a simple tailgate such as we had for decades prior to this?
on a Buick Skyhawk J-car, no less!
Awesome car. ‘Nuff said.
I so badly want this car. I have always preferred the Regal T-type of this era over the flashier GN.
