a nice interior

Makes me wonder if it has a nice gut in it? Most of the later Matty's I've seen have pretty nice interior fabrics and such. Some ppl may say they are a bit gaudy, but I think they're uber cool. Kinda like some mid/late 70's mopars too that were like that. Now speaking from a Ford point of view, some of the Fords were kind of austere in that time period. My dad had a Gran Torino Squire and 78 CS and they seemed plain compared to a friend's dad's T & C.

Either way, that'd be a hell of a wagon to snap up.

 

Hey this is the car that I wanted saved a long time ago and a member here called Lex bought it. I'm pretty sure this is the car....it had a miss in the engine too. It was on eBay and Lex bought it for like 600 bucks He said he was going to do a number on it. Guess he's not. He had it shipped from, I THINK it was, California.
EDIT:
Nope....different car. And Lex was/is from Tampa.

Hey guys THIS Matador was mine early last year I sold to a friend in Winchester KY.. it has a burnt valve ( lean burn set up in that era). But still runs good.. It was from CA all it life,, AC works.. NICE interior. cruise works too! & NO RUST!
And no its not Lex's car.. I had several AMC of mid 70's ( 304's) that had bad valves.. I even talked with Lex about his and fixing all the problems with his car.. he said he'd get back with me when he had more time to devote to it Then I sold another 76 Matador wagon this year dark blue, no grain.. 3rd seat, 304V8 ( 53,000 ) miles.. let go for $3000.
Now seeking a Concord wagon 78-83 ( I still have another 401 ci to install in my last retirement project ). Wife says: dont care what you do as long as dishes are done we she gets home from work ( she easy!) Love that!

 

That would have been sweet for me. I don't think my wife could say no to a $3000 dark blue 53K mile wagon with a third row, even if it is a coffin-nose Matador. I'd love it, she'd roll her eyes and hand me the money...
