even odder is to see a Matador coupe with six for sale:

Timing is everything and if you study AMC's advertising in 1973, they were going to 
introduce this coupe, which was only new American car that year, new style that is, but 
while it was NASCAR inspired, a lot of the advertising focused on it being sporty. Then 
OPEC oil embargo happened and AMC totally switched gears letting people know it 'came with 
a economical six' as people dumped large cars.....LTD, Grand Villes, all of them, just 
like a few years ago when gas hit $4+ a gallon and it was SUV dump fest....the problem was 
that love em or hate them, the coupe was innoviative in design, but unfortunately it 
"looked big" at a time that people wanted to get rid of gas guzzlers. No one could have 
predicted the oil embargo, 3-4 hour waits to buy gas, rationing, can buy gas on certain 
days with even or odd license plates.....and (to me) it took out the Matador coupe before 
it had a chance. Neat cars if you have ever owned one, the Cassini, and Barcelona ones 
have the most plushest interiors ever put in a AMC.
