Vehicle Description
Take some time to appreciate this 1977 AMC Matador Barcelona coupe,
because someone has been doing that all its life. These were pricey
grand touring machines when new, and today, it has retained all the
best features (including A/C) with the right amount of added care
along the way.
A good AMC is often hard to find. After all, they made so few of
them - there were less than 7,000 Matador coupes produced in '77,
and how many do you think survived over forty years looking this
good? In fact, the first impression is truly retro cool. The
factory-correct two-tone Golden Ginger and Sand Tan make for the
ideal '70s machine. It's a high gloss finish that appears to have a
high degree of originality with the right touch-ups along the way.
Everything from the half vinyl roof to the badge on the hood lets
you know someone cared for this correctly throughout its lifetime.
Even the two-tone wheels are part of the pricey Barcelona package,
and it still looks fantastic today.
The Barcelona special edition also came with a unique interior, and
so it's great to have it so well preserved today. A full-sized
coupe means plenty of room for family and friends to share the
special soft cloth presentation. Plus, everyone stays comfortable
thanks to the features like the America Motors branded AM/FM stereo
and cold-blowing factory air conditioning - rare luxuries of the
time that now are even more impressive today. And this keeps that
'70s cool attitude everywhere you look. So you'll love the factory
dual-spoke steering wheel that gives you a commanding view of it
all. Not only is the wood-like appearance on the dash, but AMC even
put it in the gauges, too! So people will really love the
retro-cool details on this survivor-grade coupe.
On a car like this, it's particularly nice to have such an
authentic presentation under the hood. The optional 360 cubic-inch
V8 was unique to AMC, and the consignor also states this is
original to the car. It has the clean and tidy look of good
investments, and it even has the right decals. And because the AMC
V8 stayed in production well after the Chrysler takeover, parts
availability remains plentiful. The V8 produces plenty of torque to
keep you going down the road with ease. Adding to this great
cruising classic attitude are features like the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs
up front.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records, service manuals,
and the owner's manual. So with a classic that's this unique,
preserved, and affordably priced, you know you need to hurry to
catch this deal. Call now!
