Well, for the most part i fell in love with the thing the first time i saw it. I'm a bit determined to buy one, with little success, i live in the U.S. and I'm definitely interested in buying as you can tell.

Any information on where to buy, or anyone whose selling one would be appreciated.

thanks!

hmm, on his add he only lists that hes looking for parts and trying to restore it.

and honestly i really wouldn't even want to pay the shipping costs, if i could ask, just to keep an eye out for one in the states, though its unlikely, if anyone could point me out, or have any info about one in the U.S. please let me know as soon as possible

thanks for the help so far though

Franz from KCW had a Tempo Matador doublecab project but appears to have given up on it. You could contact him through the KCW forums to see if it's available. It has no windshield and has been hacked a bit though.

tempo matadors are big money, way more than a barndoor and harder to get back on the road. i had a very complete tho partially diassembled 51 pickup truck and i couldn't make heads or tails of some of the parts that were in boxes. it's extremely difficult to find parts for them.

I definitely figure ill have to either custom order or make them myself. But for me that's part of the fun, i mean really the matador itself is a relic, not to mention the thing looks gnarly as all get out which adds to why i like it so much.
