The model received praise for its design, including "Best Styled Car of 1974" by ''[[Car and Driver]]'' magazine,<ref>{{cite web|url= https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1974-1978-amc-matador1.htm |title=1974β1978 AMC Matador |date=October 26, 2007 |access-date=January 16, 2011 |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122101529/https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1974-1978-amc-matador1.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref> customer satisfaction,<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Michael |last=Lamm |title=Styling is a knockout, but so is the low roofline! |magazine=Popular Mechanics|date=April 1974 |volume=141 |issue=4 |pages=98β101 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=odQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA98 |access-date=January 16, 2011}}</ref> and sold almost 100,000 coupes over five years.<ref>{{cite web|first=Craig |last=Bond |title=Matador Coupe History 1974β1978 |url= http://www.matadorcoupe.com/history.htm |access-date=January 16, 2011|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131017163907/http://www.matadorcoupe.com/history.htm |archive-date=October 17, 2013}}</ref> The Matador Coupe shared few components with the Matador sedan and station wagon other than suspension, drive train, some trim, and interior parts.
