Montana to Kansas the EAGLE has landed

[HOTFUN]

Randy, Very neat rare survivor Eagle. You just don't see those anywhere these days. I really believe it is an early Highlander promotion truck and without tilt as it has all the markings of the Highlander Custom Deluxe but it is missing the Special Promotional model listing on the option list. All the original Highlanders I have had or seen used the black carpet and dash pad and parchment door panels and belts. Just like yours. Only way I ever saw a Custom Deluxe equipped truck with the parchment seat belts and door panels would have had that sandalwood dash and of course a rubber floor mat in sandlewood. The Cheyennes also would have been that same color of sandlewood but of course carpeting. Im almost certain it was the lower Highlander package just a little odd it didn't list it on the option list. Great find! Mark

A guy I pass during work everyday has a similar one sitting in his field that hasn't moved in a few years. I stopped and looked at it the other night and it had the highlander seat and a similar paint job but minus the eagles head. I wonder if it's one of these trucks it's white with a broken pattern down the side that looks a little like this truck. Anyway a neighbor told me the guy is selling the lot and the building on the lot and assumes the truck will be scrapped. I'll have to get a pic and see if anyone thinks it's worth saving. I'm not interested in it but maybe someone else is.

THANKS Everyone, I'm getting a lot of people slowing down driving by my place the last 2 days, looking at it and they have no idea what it is
Thanks to all of you for your comments and helpful insight, Randy

Thanks Denny, its a different one thats for sure. Visors are parchment. I thought it was weird having the blue plaid bench seat on the spid. Randy

Thanks Randy for buying this rare truck .. From all the reading on it I sorta feel like part owner.. LOL ,,Really,,I and others would of never come close to seeing this rare truck and chatting about all the options if you hadn't bought it for us.. Plus it now sticks in my mind that there were 3 different pkgs of Longhorns..

Do you think you could send it around to all of us and let us autograph it like that that chicken of ET's ? of course we would have to sign it on the frame so not to ruin the Eagle Decal.. just kidding ,,I like that you are going to shelf it for awhile before deciding what to do with it ..GP Larry

That is just awesome congrats

Powerbench, THANKS its growing on me, I wasn't sure how I'd like the stripes. This is my first 2wd truck I've bought to drive since I was in high school and that was 27 years ago

So dam cool....and it's fallen into safe hands now so I say keep her and restore it if you can Randy.

Is the Charlie Rich 8-track a factory option? LOL Just kidding. Very interesting truck!

[wild4wheels]

Dang Randy, I dunno...I would consider keepin the 8 track and CB..just for posterity..If not-throw em in a box-I'll pay shipping! If I were in your shoes and had a decal set that much intact I would go down to a lettering shop and have them make a new one using yours as a guide out of vinyl. May be worth something to someone..heck, maybe you could start reproducing them...?! Just a thought..super sweet score, my man.
