Yeah, the ad said it wasn't original. I guess it doesn't matter in the long run. Lovely car though, I certainly wouldn't turn it down. It was a lovely day to go for a cruise here today, and I saw a few nice old cars out on the road...a white 64 GTO convert, a 67 Chevelle SS, a 56 Chevy convert, a 66 Galaxie 2 door HT, maybe a couple others I've forgotten |

"I recall reading that AMC sold the Matador in some spanish speaking countries where (so they said) "matador" translates as "killer"." More specifically, the matador is the bullfighter that kills the bull. Even though the word comes from the verb "to kill" and should logically be the word for "killer," if you use it outside of bullfighting it's more like "slayer" (with medieval/fantasy connotations). Still a good name, and currently used by the Harrier fighter jet in the Spanish Navy. |

Just saw a Ford V-8 powered Italia being worked on at a friend's shop. Nice looking car. One thing I noticed is that they are using both Fiat and Peugeot suspension pieces. It's going to be hell rebuilding the front end trying to find Peugeot 403 bits and pieces.

In that really nice purplish brown color.. with the matching color landau vinyl roof, peeling off to a nice shade of beige.. I'm amazed that something like this is still running... although, the straight-six in them was a decent engine... |

Dat's right, early 70s Intermeccanica product. Here's some info on them if you are interested: http://intermeccanica.org/ |

I'd forgotten that Carrozerie Intermeccanica built the Apollo as well (along with a bunch of other things. |

Saw my first Audi A3 last week in Denver. It had Alabama plates and had the "2.0T" label on the back. Silver, quite sharp looking! |
|
| ...I saw a 1977 Ford Pinto last night. Now, the car looked like something from "Mad Max" but it was still running. I thought all of these cars died off at least 15 years ago. | |

| I saw a 1970-71 Toyota Corolla---those little fastbacks---they were great little cars. | |
