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.

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!
