I think he did a heck of a job - I just wish he had Painted it silver again - And i wish he kept The Machine Wheels on the Machine - It really makes the look, especially with the trim - I like trimmed cars - But It was his "Rat Project" so to the restorer goes the spoils of rebirthing a vehicle - including its paint !!!!

Hm. Glad to see all this renewed interest in 4-door Matadors. Maybe this will allow me to find a new home for that 72 Matador 4-door I have...

Whel - Eddie Stakes @ Planet Houston AMX has documented that car pretty well, and his page has a bunch of great stuff besides the Matador Machine, like the first Nascar Matador , and all the specs for the matador machines made - Pretty informative - Check It Out !! : http://www.planethoustonamx.com/stuff/matador_machine.htm
