Re: [AMC-list] SC/360 (parts) or clone? you decide.



Agreed, there is no way to really authenticate a Matador Machine that I know of, you could get that 'Machine' package for your 71 Matty with a 360....or 401. No scoop. Jus regular old upgrade, but if you have window sticker that would help as it would show the $460.00 or whatever it was as the machine package added.

Guess I need to take down both SC/360 auctions that were on ebay that are still up on my site:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/sc360/sc_registry.htm

the red one is still for sale, the green one the guy contacted me a few days ago and we had nice chat, neat to see that sort of enthusiasm, sort of like Gerry on here buying that old V8 Pacer recently, probably had AMC logoed woodie for days! :~O

Rocky, on your Rogue, not sure how many left, and not sure it is how much of a salesman you might be:

So yes, I guess it would be how slick of a salesman one was!

He should have ebayed that car. I'll have to get that list back out and refresh my memory but I'm pretty sure that is the one I called about. There was another one on that list for $4500 wasn't there? If I had known he would have sold it that cheap, I'd have been all over it. That red one you forwarded a few weeks ago brought $6,900, reserve not met, and it was as ragged out as mine was and still is. I have one of the 2V SC360's. Mine was a 3 spd on the floor originally too but it has a 4 spd now. I bought an original go pack hood with the scoop and an NOS tach several years ago for mine to make it look like the go pack. Mine is the organic green.

Ona different note, it's hard to understand a lot of the reasoning on cars. The Matador machine everyone was talking about was just an option for a regular matador wasn't it? What I mean is that it wasn't a specific model like a Scrambler or the '70 Machine. How it is equipped shows up in the VIN.

If that is the case, I have one of the rarest AMC's ever built. A 343 67 Rogue. How many originals exist of that? 4? 5? Yet I can't sell it and a parts car for $2500. I guess it's all in how slick of a salesman you are. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On the car Mark mentioned below, it does mention it is a recreation, too bad no pix to help someone decide whether they want to tackle it. For what it is worth however, the REAL Golden Lime Metallic 71 SC/360 Hornet that was for sale in Montana (and number is still on the defunct SUADS) but that was a real one for $2500.00; it was a non Go Pack car but rare one of 19 made 360/2barrel, standard 3 speed on floor......

and one of only 5 known to exist. It was complete, ran, drove, stopped, just good little project for someone, and guy even tried to sell it to me knowing soft spot for Hornets, but passed. He eventually sold it a few weeks ago for whopping $1400.00.

Imagine that. One of 784 total production, and of those, this was lowest production with only 19 made and FIVE known to exist. $1400.00. I've dropped that in 5 minutes in strip club. Anyways, hope it found a good home, it was the real deal not a recreation, clone, or what have you. I think what scared people off from that car is it was GoldenSlime Metallic, damn, AMC seems to have painted 90% of production in 1970 that color, then carried it over into 1971, they must have had barrels of that paint stashed behind Freddy's East or something. Not taking away anything from the folks who like to recreate stuff, as we need more of them in hobby saving what remainder cars are out there in 2010!
