A four-wheel-drive coupe

The two-door sedan was one of the three original 1980 Eagles. Like the four-door, it carried the Concord DL's standard equipment, including the vinyl roof and opera windows. It was also one of the two Eagles, with the wagon, offered with the 1980 Sport package: Durham plaid seats, a leather-wrapped wheel, fog lamps, 4X4 graphics and blacked-out trim.

Sales started strong, with 10,616 built for 1980, then fell sharply in 1981, the year the smaller SX/4 and Kammback arrived. AMC dropped the two-door after 1982 because of slow sales.
