    I believe that's the car made famous (sort of ) by The Man With The Golden Gun. It is the one that turned into a plane, right?

    That's what we do here, post pics. If you want to prove ownership (prefered UCP behavior), look in the User Rides section and post in ownership challenge. You can also start a fresh thread for your car in the User Rides section.

    No disrespect to Reaper .. but why the hell would anyone want to (or have to) 'prove ownership' of a '73 Matador?

    It's curious that the '78 Matador had something called the Barcelona Package...

    Maybe they're proud of their '73 Matador. Not the most popular cars but the few I've seen, I've liked.

    The AMC Matador is a mid-size car that was built and sold by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1971 to 1978. The Matador came in two generations: 1971 to 1973 and a major redesign from 1974 to 1978. The second-generation four-door and station wagon models were classified as full-size cars and did not share the distinctive styling featured by the Matador Coupe that was introduced in 1974.

    Factory-backed AMC Matador hardtops and coupes competed in NASCAR stock car racing with drivers that included Mark Donohue and Bobby Allison wining a number of the races. The new Matador Coupe was featured in The Man with the Golden Gun, a James Bond film released in 1974. AMC Matadors were a popular vehicle in the police market as it outperformed most other police cars. It was also featured in many television shows and movies during the 1970s.

    The Matador became AMC's largest automobile following the discontinuation of the flagship AMC Ambassador that was built on the same platform. Premium trim level Oleg Cassini and Barcelona versions of the Matador coupe were positioned in the "personal luxury car" market segment. Matadors were also marketed under the Rambler marque in foreign markets, as well as assembled under license agreements with AMC that included Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM), as well as built in right-hand-drive versions by Australian Motor Industries (AMI) and by Campbell Motor Industries (CMI) in New Zealand.
