That was my point in posting this. I really like most of those cars, owned a Pinto, and wanted a Matador...................
Yeah, it was kinda sad. Pintos and Matadors were neat, too.
Besides, appearence is secondary to reliability and payload!
I owned a Matador. Thought the styling was beautiful, still do. It had a GM engine, and the suspension rode very softly. The only problem I ever had with it was a faulty alternator. I’d buy it again.
