Re: Is this **THE** Matador Machine?

[Rocky Lear <rockylear@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So much of this is ones perspective. There is probably a lot of scarce 
AMC's. Forgive me for my foolishness but I never really knew where the title 
"Matador Machine" even came from. Clever title, but if it wasn't advertised 
in hardcopy by AMC in some way with documentation it is just a clever title 
for a very rare optioned car. Larry Blatt's 67 Rogue X code was one of 50 
something that were built. I think there is only 2 or 3 known survivors of 
that run. Someone fill me in.
