Heres A Email That Was Just Sent To Me...

Hey John:

Will send pictures tomorrow.
Since I'm on the computer I will give you the "low down" on the bus
I bought it in 93 and drove about 30k a year till '96.
Engine was always strong. Tranny rebuilt, but the mechanic left the pencil gear out of the speedometer. Exhaust manifold on dirvers side needs new stud bolts. Had an exhaust elbow made for that side as well. Rebuilt the starter and air compressor. Fuel tanks leak. Slack adjuster passenger rear won't hold. Brakes lines need a thorough flush and new moisture accumulator perhaps. No power steering. Some windows were pulled and covered with sheet metal. Not all the luggage racks were removed. King pin on passenger side needs service.(tire wear rt frt) No water leaks on the drip rail. One piece door. Original caps that have rusty spots. Needs paint. Tires on rear are marginal. Put new 8D batteries in 4 years ago. One new muffler, Generator, Miter box, heater fans good. Replaced the heater core. Probably needs shocks. Torsilastics and rear end are in great shape. Needs a couple of reflectors. As the pictures will show, the bumpers and skin are pretty good. Doors and bays are better than average. Glass is good all around. Replaced a few hoses and solenoids her and there.

I will get you pictures as soon as I get some decent weather to take them.

Best regards,

Les


So As You Can Tell This Baby Needs A Lot Of Work !! :shock:
Maybe Someone Out There Will Be Interested In This Eagle?? But It Wont Be Me..I Dont Think.????
