20 of the Best Old School Muscle Cars

15. AMC Matador Machine

As seen in NASCAR and also the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun and many other 1970s movies and TV shows, the AMC Matador was produced as a mid-size car and coupe from 1971-73 and full-size sedan and wagon versions were available from 1974-78. It competed in the personal luxury car market but was also a popular police car which outperformed many others. For fans of the AMC Rebel Machine, Matadors could be ordered, including four-door sedans and wagons, with a "Go Machine" option which brought it up to speed, so to speak. The option added "the works" from brakes to tires and either a 360 V-8 or the 401.
