Okay AMC guys, here is a unicorn car for you, Big block 4spd Matador

[TruckDriver]

1974 Matador 401 4 Speed, 1 Of 5 Made.

But in my opinion, he wants more then what a REAL wing car would go for, he is dreaming. Current bid $46,099.99  Buy it now for $250,000???

BUT, I have to say HELL YES! I would if I had the money. These cars are fugly for the most part, but they ride real good, and are very comfortable to be in. Old friend of mine had one with a 6cyl in it. And most likely, this is the only one left out of 5. And it is my perfect color!

Those cars are hideous. AMC must have had the absolute worst designers and stylists of all time.
This guy can't even clean the carpets for the pictures?

Yeah, I love Gremlins and Javelins, A few others are cool too like the Rebel Machine's Not a fan of these, but that said, I'd love to have this one because it is a cool sleeper and rare. And I agree about trying to sell a car, and not cleaning the interior. Also no horn button.

I like it. Too bad about the massive bumpers though.

[Aero426]

Very cool car.    Be interesting to hear what is being said about it on the AMC forums.   

[moparstuart]

one of the ugliest cars ever built  

[Homerr]

Removing the bumpers cleans the design up a fair amount.

[F8-4life]

One thing we do know.. is its worth about 50k at least and that is more then I thought on a mid 70's rig.
I think it speaks to the fanaticism of amc guys, they are a close breed to mopar guys I think.

Also curious if the 1 of 5 is a 401- stick car alone or is it a 401-stick car with a/c?
Big difference there too.

the "story" goes: the car was factory built as a 401 automatic - it was modified at a dealership to 4-speed before original delivery

Crushing it would be a better improvement.

I only see one ride id like in those pics. The lifted square body chevy in the 2nd pic.

The Matador needs a little bit of "work" to make it somewhat respectable...

Well, that takes a lot of bloom off the rose, doesn't it?

Right there with you KD, big pet peeve of mine. I can't stand the laziness of someone selling a high priced car and doesn't have the audacity to vacuum the carpet for display. Makes you wonder about the overall care for the car itself.

[6bblgt]

Damn , went fro 46 to 50 grand.
Amc guys are nuts, I'd rather have a rebel machine.

if the $250K is an actual expected result and the reserve is up there in the same stratosphere, another 50 (or 200) bids up to $100K are meaningless

no bids matter until the reserve is met!

Looks like those headlights on the red car were removed with microsoft paint.

Yep, just a little photoshop to see what can be done...

I'm kind of in to it. 

[Nacho-RT74]

That car seem to be so special what makes pretty what comonly could be ugly. Is somethink like a mix of:

Pinto/Maverick front end

2nd gen Camaro Doors and B pillar

72 fastback Torino shaped quarter/C pillar opera window

I can't post an opinion about tail lights... They seem to run out of imagination out there

I think the only AMC I REALLY LIKE is the 68/70 Javelin/AMX, althought the 71/74 Javs dash shape is killer...  and CJ7s, specially Laredo

[Petebell68]

When we were around 20 one of our friends showed up at my house with one of these ,it was brown and ugly as sin then still ugly as sin today .

[HPP]

AMC designs after '71 really got fugly.  Their 65-70 designs weren't so bad.

Those Matadors ran in nascar for a number of years too.

Yeah, at the back of the pack.     

[odcics2]

Penske-Allison was a winning combo.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Obviously, they let the old Rambler have a win.     

[71charger_fan]

Four wins in less than two years with that body style with what was essentially a one-car effort is pretty respectable.

[ACUDANUT]

250,000???  and he can't vacuum the floor. WTF
