1985 AMC Eagle Manufacturer Promo – Eagle Lives
Eagle’s base engine was the AMC 2.5 four-cylinder, using a single barrel feedback carburetor. Total sales were 23,137. For 1985, buyers could shift into and out of 4×4 mode at will, without stopping the car; but they could not buy the four-cylinder engine (not that many had before). The atlernator went from 42 to 56 amps, and hoods swapped a “scoop effect” for their old hood ornaments. All cars got four-speaker radios. Still, sales fell to 15,362 for 1985, then down to 9,020 in 1986.

I feel like this is the same presenter that did the 80s/90s Mercedes Benz dealership training videos that compu85 posted on youtube.
It was late 1987 when AMC was phased out fully, which included some 1988 AMC Eagle models. In late 1995, the Subaru Outback basically picked up where the Eagle left off many years before. However, Subaru Outback is obviously all-wheel drive, rather than part-time four-wheel drive.
The Eagle was full-time 4WD/AWD; however, it did allow to drive the car in RWD to save fuel.
About two years back I saw an all black wagon with wood trim, rally wheel and oddly enough no roof rack. Even thirty years later after it came out of the factory its still a very nice looking model that grew old with flair and style…
This is fantastic; thank you! Not only am I a car salesman and thoroughly enjoy the old dealer training videos, but I have an ’85 Eagle….this is so amazingly priceless to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
