Re: [AMC-list] Fw: matador machine & clones

["Rocky Lear" <lear31@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is what it is apparently...All these years I thought a Matador Machine 
was some sort of super rare car when it is, in actuality, just a rare option 
package. It is apparently not a specific model like an SC360 Hornet, a Rebel 
Machine, or a SC Rambler. I'm almost certain now that all of this has come 
out, I saw the 360 version of one around 1980-81. It's funny how something 
like this can be hyped into legendary status almost without merit. On a 
level playing field, there is no way a "Matador Machine" is any rarer than 
any other scarcely equipped AMC or Rambler...engine, tranny whatever.
