Description of 1976 AMC Matador

You don't see thesevery often and even less with the bumpers removed and the roll pans smoothed.This is a decent daily driver (amateur restoration done by previous owner).Has an AMC 360 4bbl w/automatic transmission. Engine was built in early 2016 (Picture of receipt from machine shop), runs very well. However, the valves need adjusted. I am planning on doing that this week. It was painted last year, prior to me purchasing the car. It needs to be color sanded and buffed. Several runs in the clear and the body work isn't perfect. Interior is in great shape. Does need a dome light lens. All lights and turn signals work, wipers do not. It has a bad wiper motor, which I have. Also, the blower fan doesn't work, but the heat and defrost works. Gauges all work as does the AM radio. Has dual exhaust with 50 series mufflers, sounds great and not overly loud. I think it could use some adjustment on the hood hinges and the front rotors need turned. Truth is, I bought this car from a disabled gentleman, sight unseen, I know I know, I need a good kick in the pants. Needless to say, he wasn't very forthcoming with the condition of the car. So, I paid way to much for what I received when it showed up on the trailed from North Carolina. I have fixed plenty of things on this car already and I could keep going, but I have more in this car than I do in my 75 Dodge D100 resto-mod with a V-10 in it. So, I am listing on Ebay to try and recoup some of my money. I do believe, if someone has the time and a few dollars to through at this unusual hot rod, it could be something awesome. I just can't stand to walk in the shop and look at it anymore. I was going to ask $1M dollars for it, but didn't want someone to feel like I was trying to get one over on them, like I had happen to me. Believe me, somebody will end up with this for 1/2 of what I gave for it.So, please make me an offer.
