I think this is retro and weird enough to get it's own thread. Well, before everyone goes like "what the fook is an Eagle?" It's a car marque made by Chrysler after they bought AMC. Basically it is a Renault 25 chassis, re-designed body by Giugiaro, 3-liter PRV V6, ZF 4-spd overdrive automatic and really pleasent driving thing. This one has a set of 18x8.5 ATS Apollo wheels, needs a little tlc here and there.. But I like it damn much. Story will continue and better pics coming Viljami

The digital dash goes haywire at 99 iirc. My dads friend had one that I bombed around in quite a bit.

Thanks guys. chandlergti this doesn't have the digital dash. Bought oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs today. And found out that there has been a major screw up with mot on this car. Have to look into that. Viljami

Oh, the Premier my dad's friend had had a digital dash with a cool digital sweep for the speedometer. It would read gibberish after 99!
Very cool car, I'll be following along

Looks like an Audi 200, the front end does a lot.
Are you based in the US?

Thanks.. mrchappers, I'm based in Finland, as hezekiel said. qwerty I had heard about these before but never seen one before this. They're rare in here and rare in US i believe. Apologies for the scrubby pictures but have to deal with what I got now.. It's got moss and dirt all over the car. I believe it has been sitting under a tree for a while. Changed oil, filters and plugs. Trans jerking a little, needs new oil and filter. I have no service history, documents, user manual whatsoever to this car.. Sigh. Believe it or not, it tryed to overheat last night (+2 celsius air temp). Or thats what the temp gauge said. But it didn't blow warm at all that time.. Suspecting a stuck thermostat. To be continued.. Viljami

Trying to find something to this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. curse word. Managed to source a parts car 20 km's from our garage. Which is nice. Been planning around what I'm going to do with this car. EDIT: While goofing around internet all day, i managed to bumb old pics of this one through google. Viljami

Welp, summer is officially here! I'm trying to add a picture through my phone but don't know what happens.. Let's see. Changed the wheels from the 18' ATS Apollos to a 16' Excess by MAK. Fits quite nicely, 16x7,5 et 20. Stock tire size 205/55. Viljami

I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw an Eagle. There was a dealership near me, so I would have expected to see the occasional one, but nothing!
Age has actually treated them well from a style pov.
Are there any problems with spares or is it mostly Renault equivalent?

brc76 , I do hear that a lot. People know what the car is, or have memories of seeing one. Today, they are long gone. Service parts can be found easily if you have the part number. Chassis and powertrain stuff from Renault. Body and interior wise... Not A Change. Rockauto is my bestfriend with this car. I would have liked original aluminium wheels or even hubcaps. Nope. Can't find even in the States. I'm still looking after a parts car that there supposedly is in Finland. Viljami

So, it seems that there has almost a year passed by with owning this thing. I have driven it... what? Two times? I don't know what to do with it and I don't want to sell it. Or atleast nobody wants to buy it. Viljami
