1981 AMC Eagle with a Mustang Powertrain

1981 AMC Eagle with a Mustang 5.0 V8 powertrain

This 1981 AMC Eagle was built on the TV show Lost in Transmission S1:E5 that aired on Jun 04, 2015. The goal was to take a 4WD Eagle wagon and stuff a complete Mustang powertrain in it while converting to RWD. To make this happen they turned to Kenwood Rod Shop in Sharpsburg, Georgia. There they installed a For 5.0 L V8, T5 five-speed manual transmission, and 8.8″ rear end with 3.73 gears. They also installed the entire Mustang front suspension and front disc brakes as well. The car is currently for sale in La Vergne, Tennessee with an asking price of $19,995.
