Re: [AMC-list] 75 Matador 6-cylinder

If you can drive a 196 American comfortably in traffic the big car would not even phase you. 
   Other than their mass the throttle response was fine. It would not take your breathe away but they just plain ran like utilitarian big cars. 
   I have a soft spot for the 70's which thankfully is enough to keep the rocks out! Or I'd really want one...

Okay, I know it's just plain wrong - but I kinda like the coffin-nosed
Matty's. Especially the wagons.

Adequate performance? My cars were a '71 Simca, a 68 Nova with 230
six, 2 speed powerglide and one barrel carb, 64 Karmann Ghia, Ranger
pickup with 2.3 and a 5 speed, Mazda 323P (for Peon), Saturn SL1 and a
Corolla. I know all about just barely adequate performance, lol.

The 258 in the big car certainly wasn't going to win any races, but it was *adequate*. Mine had AC, PS, PDB and the dinky 1-barrel carburetor. I think I got 24MPG out of this car on a few occasions.
