Good looking car.

Does it have the six or the V8 ?

Are they 12 slotters on it?

I don't know that they're 12 slotters but it's a nice car none the less.

Thanks for the comments guys

It is a six and yes they are (replica) 12 slotters

I bought the car in 1981 and if my house was burning down it would be rescued first (even if I had children)

Car has the 232 6 Toyota 5 speed and a 9 inch and many other upgrades

I will put up some of the resto pics at some stage

The Matadoe would have had a 360 in it with torqueflite transmission

AMC / Rambler V8's always go well, the heads flow very well straight from the factory

The engines also seem to love LPG for some reason
