Not really. I know Matadors are crap, but I saw one drive by a few months ago -- an old, rusty tan one with a old hippie driving -- and it looked so bizarre and out of place in this modular/prefab age that it definitely registered on the cool meter.
Mint it out, throw some modern rims on it... definitely cool. Didn't they come with an 8, too?
They certainly were available with an V8. You don't happen to live in Columbia MD, because you just described the one parked near Snowden River Pkwy and Carved Stone.
