1975 AMC Matador
 

   HELP!!
       A local friend of mine has lost his storage and must sell a
     75 Matador Brougham wagon, 360, 2 bbl, 3-seat that has
     been in his family since 1978.


    4 dr Wagon, 360 2 bbl, Auto trans (727), PS, PDB, AC, power windows.

                passenger side electric window is off its track and is at the
                moment stuck about 2/3 of the way up; and AC blows nice, WARM air.

     The cool AM/FM/8-Track even comes with a "Put the Hammer Down"
                tape from Radio Shack!!

      Be sure to read the "Miscellaneous Thoughts" at the bottom of this page.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

The car has the usual worn-out AMC front end; but even so, it drove well. 

I was asked:  How bad is that rust on the hood and tailgate?

The tailgate apparently had a run-in with the laws of physics at some point in its distant past. 

A good portion - a third or more - of the panel was bondoed.  The surface rust underneath is pretty well-established.  Either a good sandblasting or swapping a tailgate from a junker would do the trick; there does not appear to be any damage to the surrounding frame.

The hood rust is fairly advanced, but treatable.  If you have a day or two to stay and play, I have two parts Matadors that might be useful for sheetmetal (ask for photos).  They are a decent drive away from my home, that's why I suggested planning for an extra day or two).

This car also needs the hood hinges rebuilt; the passenger side has the usual broken pin on the bottom.  The driver's side is not far behind, I'm certain.
