How do you know if you have a golden eagle???

It will have something that looks like a big bird on the hood.:D
I'm pretty sure a Golden Eagle is a trim package.

HAHAHA well the big bird on the hood is not there, then again the PO cut a hole in the hood and put his home made hood scoop on it. What else could show its an eagle? how about the dash? and what do you mean trim package, what is included in that?
 
I am sure someone with the bird will jump in here and fill you in better than me.

Trim package is pretty much a level of color, decals and accessories. Renegade and Laredo were 2 others. They seem to change by year also. Here's what is on the 1978 According to the Dealers Brochure."Golden Eagle Package: The CJ Golden Eagle package includes tan Levi (Edition) ’s vinyl front bucket and rear bench seats with color keyed interior; full carpeting in brown; the Décor Group (substitutes black anodized rocker panel for chrome) and Convenience Group; tachometer and rally clock; five 8” spoked steel wheels painted gold with black accent stripes; 9-15 Tracket A-T outlined letter tires; wheellip extensions; roll bar; rear swing away spare tire carrier (CJ7 ); fixed back panel and rear spare mounted (CJ5 ); spare wheel lock; tan Levi (Edition) ’s soft top; special Golden Eagle hood decal with name lettering in gold and black; and body side, front fender and grille striping."

Thanks for the info jeepardy, please not if this was copied from another site you need to provide a link to the original information... :)
 
Yeah, without the original hood bird or stripping, a Laredo , Renegade or Golden Eagle all pretty much have the same options, Levi (Edition) 's seats, clock, tach. Unfortunately there was never an options code in the VIN. The dead give away for the Golden Eagle was usually the wheels.
