[AMC-list] A Steven Green Matador for sale

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ya'll remember Steve Green, he had a formidable collection of AMC vehicles, one of them 
was my own 77 Matador Barcelona coupe, he also had the Kansas City cave 74 AMX with 1000 
miles on it and Dick Teague's last Matador built, only white/white Barcelona coupe built 
which had 6600 miles on it, also came up from that cave under Kansas City in 1997(?). 
There are conflicting accounts as to what happened to Steve and his real estate empire in 
Yonkers, NY; it was my my understanding he was run over coming out of bar by cabbie, while 
other sources he was indited for stuff. Regardless of that, here is one of the cars from 
his collection, he usually seemed to pick up more bread and butter AMCs but really likes 
low milers too. This ad appeared on my FREE AMC CLASSIFIEDS in case any of you want to

I have for sale a 1977 AMC Matador 4 door sedan - in INCREDIBLE condition with just 44,969 
original miles. This car was a part of The Steve Green Auto Collection in North Carolina 
until Mr. Green passed away last year. When this one went to auction, a family member 
bought it for me, but I simply do not have the indoor storage space for it. The body is 
perfectly straight and the original paint is very good - probably needs a good rubbing, 
polishing, buffing, and waxing before a show. The vinyl ""Landau"" roof is in excellent 
condition. The original interior is excellent - the plaid fabric seats are in exceptional 
condition - no rips, stains, tears, etc... The engine is a 360 with a 2bbl Motorcraft 
carbeurator. You may see in the picturest that the original AMC factory labels are still 
on most components. I did have the fuel pump and thermostat replaced this year; apart from 
that, I see no evidence that all other parts are anything but original. I wish the car 
were running better right now, and I have priced it accordingly. Because I love to tinker, 
I decided to rebuild the carb earlier this summer, and it needs to be adjusted- I cannot 
seem to get the choke and mix right. If I do not sell it quickly, I'll get it to a garage 
and have them do it and then adjust the price and re-list the car. It made the trip from 
North Carolina with absolutely zero problems, cold AC, highway speeds, etc... on the day I 
got it. . Once I get the carb right, I have no doubt it will be all it can be again. You 
are welcome to come and take a look at the car and bring a mechanic if you wish. Power 
Steering Power Brakes Cold Air Conditioning Please ask for more information and I will 
keep updating this posting. If you think you are interested, please drop me a line and 
I'll send you more pictures, or we can set up a time for you to come see it closer. Thanks 
for looking! ASKING $3,000 on other sites- Will make a better deal if you tell me you saw 
it here on Plane Houston AMX (Thanks again, Eddie) Tom Constable  constablet@xxxxxxxxx
