For the 1980 model year AMC decided to offer the four wheel drive platform using a station wagon body style but on a compact platform, and introduced the AMC Eagle. Production of the Wagoneer dropped to 10,481 in 1980. With the V8s the primary choice among Wagoneer buyers, the 258 cubic inch inline six engine, dropped in the 1970s, returned as an option when sales were hit by the 1979 energy crisis.
