Mark, while the '71 240Z, '85 GN and '75 Firebird builds will be shown, buzz
is that Bridgestone (lead sponsor; note the tire close-ups) could rebuild
the Kozeluh Turbo Twins with a supreme Supra Fury before moving on to Grem,
Vee Dub and more.  Some viewers love the idea; some don't.

Concepts of history are changing (and hip-hop isn't a gavotte.)

I've seen pictures of the cars which show a round gold-colored
medallion (prominent red cross in design) on each fender adjacent to
the MATADOR emblem.  However some of these cars have script
'Barcelona' emblems on the trunk and hood (offset to the right as
viewed) while other cars are pictured with an AMC badge on the hood
and I have not seen any rear shots to verify how that was finished.

My car, a '78, has no medallions.  It has MATADOR badges on each
front fender and AMC stick-on badges below that.  I believe my car is
supposed to have 'Barcelona' script badges on the hood and trunk but
I'm not certain what is correct now.

(and some glued-on window medallions

are on some "Barfs" but not on others),  but AMC bulls are still blessed.
 
Why?  Because one untouched Barcelona still survives in a SoCal

Watch out for spiders.  Spyders, also.

Making the moral:

"Anemic Fords weigh less than rice-fed Hondas."   

or

"When engines have enemas, they get the runs."
