Expert: Kevin Pilotte - 6/10/2009


Question
Next year, I will be fully restoring a 1974 Matador X Coupe.  The only item I am in need of, is the 2 rear rubber bumper guards.  Do you know a good place to find these?  I am having no luck.  Any help would be truly appreciated.

Answer
There is an old AMC dealer in Pikeville, NC named Collier AMC. He has about 200 old AMC's sitting around, most are excellent parts cars. If I remember from my last visit, he does have some Matador coupes sitting there. Give Mr. Collier a call. His number is 919-242-4462. Tell him Kevin told you to call. Good luck.
