The AMC Matador replaced the Rebel in 1971 as the company's mid-size platform, offered in sedan, wagon, and hardtop coupe forms. While early models were conventional, the 1974 redesign of the coupe introduced a dramatic, aerodynamic fastback shape penned by Richard Teague. AMC promoted this new look heavily, fielding the car in NASCAR with drivers like Mark Donohue and Bobby Allison, securing several wins and proving its performance credentials.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust thoroughly, especially in the floor pans, lower fenders, and around the vinyl top trim on equipped cars.
- The 1974-1978 coupe's unique headlight nacelles are a signature feature. Inspect them for cracks or damage, as they're difficult to find and replace.
- AMC V8 engines (304, 360, 401) are robust, but check for typical oil leaks and cooling system issues. Parts are reasonably available through the AMC enthusiast community.
- If you're looking at a special edition like an Oleg Cassini or Barcelona, verify the originality of the interior fabrics, copper-colored trim, and specific badging.
