This is a truly special car—the authentic Matador Red Super Deluxe. Accompanied by the original owner’s manual and Protect-O-Plate, this exceptionally straight car comes with all the pedigree. According to GM Canada, it’s one of only 680 two-door hardtops produced, and we have comprehensive documentation verifying the original specifications, all meticulously followed by a 20-year, nut-and-bolt restoration completed in 2023.
Every detail of this car has been restored or replaced to new condition, including all the glass—every single piece has been renewed.
The engine is a 454, professionally bored to a 468 cubic inch roller motor, now producing a remarkable 600 horsepower according to its builder. Aluminum factory looking rad, long-tube headers are just the beginning. The transmission wasn’t rebuilt, it has been upgraded with a brand new B&M Turbo 400, ensuring the power-train is as fresh as the rest of the vehicle.
The underside of this car is immaculate—among the finest we’ve ever seen—presenting as better than factory-new. Power steering, power brakes and a new 12-bolt rear end with 3.31 gears was installed, making it a easy & thrilling driver while still delivering a formidable punch when required.
The interior is finished in stunning black vinyl, with every component functioning like new. Even the original radio has been rebuilt to its original specifications, maintaining the car’s authenticity.
This restoration is thoroughly documented, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into bringing this classic back to life. Finding another example like this is nearly impossible, so don’t miss out—this car won’t last long! Canadian tax is not applicable.
