I think black or green are my favorites, but this darker brown color works well with the scheme too. Official AMC color is called "Sable Brown", right?

I do think that the patina adds a wonderful extra set of tones and character to the brown, and plan on preserving it as best as I can. Perhaps a clear coat over the paint in its current weathered condition.

Can't wait to head out with you guys next time! I'll bet BigJ200 would be up for joining the Golden Eagle out on its first maiden serious trail voyage.
So, some good news. The Dana 44s look to be in fine shape, transmission is clean, and quadra trac unit is in excellent condition as well. A strong drivetrain! The previous owner did originally bring this Golden Eagle back to life after swapping the drive train in from a local "barn" Cherokee. The previous owner before him blew the transmission and it sat for some time.
