I have one. Conned my Dad into buying it in 1977 . Labour Day weekend in Grand Bend Ontario Canada. Sweet red! Rich Corinthian leather !! Dad had a 1970 Dodge Cornet 500 Convertible at the time and I knew he couldn't drive two summer cars at once. I now have the same problem. Have the convertible and the Cordoba and all the amazing memories that come with them.
The most stylish and beautiful car Chrysler ever made. Loved them back in the day. I still remember seeing one brand new, a light minty green colour with white interior and white vinyl roof. It was a refreshing sight on a hot summer day.
My older brother was a DM for Chrysler. I ordered a '75 with sunroof, leather, power windows, and even a tach. Put in a pioneer deck with headphone jacks. It was $5200. Kept it 4 years, sold it, and put the money down to buy a house. For some reason I can remember the the VIN#. I'm 70 now and can't remember what I had for dinner last night 😜
Lots of people compare this to the Monte Carlo but this car is more luxurious without question but I always loved the exterior styling of MC, but again Grand Prix is king.
I had a '75 Charger (same as Cordoba with different styling) and 2 76 Cordoba's, awesome cars. If you're in the market check the trunk for rust where the leaf springs mount, they like to rust through.
Mom's 76 Cordoba popped the right rear spring shackle mount through the trunk floor in the late 80's. The local garage actually patched it back together good, and the repair lasted for thr rest of the car's life (5-6 more years). Somehow she got the town to pay for the repair due to our roads being all ripped up for our new sewer service. Obviously rust was the issue, but the must've gotten sick of listening to her haha
I had one of these back and I think it was 87..... I lived in Cleveland Ohio then so it had some rust on it.... White / burgundy, bucket seat and console and 400 V8 with the biggest Carter you ever seen ....... It was a rust bucket but it ran like a scalded dog.... I was 20 years old and I think I paid $250 for that car....Thanks for the memory
Very nice Cordobra ,they all were nice. I envy the next caretaker of it. Pros: round headlights and parking lights, T tops, dual exhaust etc. Only minor con is the wiper arm needs adjusting, don't like the tachometer, and doors and trunk gaps need to be looked at, maybe adjustments needed. A sweet ride non the less!
I was born 72. I thought these 70 cars were ugly as a teen in 80s, but now they are beautiful well crafted vehicles.. the plastic bumper unibody new stuff is cheap looking.
I always wished that this was the car that lee would have made the convertible out of instead of the k car. This one and it’s sister car sure had the style and the lines.
@@shaunclifton5281 Thanks Shaun I had to say “sister car”. I couldn’t remember the name Magnum. Just for fun you never see a stock Vega or the 4 door Thunderbird at your local car shows either. Those were some interesting times for designers and customers alike.
@@ericb4127 I had one of the K cars . I remember that it did have a lot of head room and seemed to last for a long time. I don’t remember when or why we got rid of it! That was my first experience with what I considered a small car. And I have tried to stay with older Cadillac and Chrysler cars since. I just prefer the style and ride of the larger cars of a few years back.
Love love love those cars. I was lucky 1enough to just get one a 1976 red with white roof and white leather interior. 400 cubic in 4 barrel my dreams car
Back in 1976 I saw one of these on the side of the road outside Syracuse NY. It had been in an accident. The complete front clip had been knocked off. Really clean. After that I never wanted to ride in one again.
Looks like the trunk key spring loaded latch cover is missing,..think it had the Chrysler emblem/logo on it. Can't remember. Otherwise that car is gorgeous. It was my first car. Total rust bucket! Burgundy with a rotted our white leather interior. 1980. I was 15 in Ohio. Mowed a neighbors frightening lawn... after I knocked down the 7' high weeds, this car appeared....lol. he gave it to me for mowing his yard...plus $50.00...lol. pretty sure once he realized how horrible his yard looked with this dead Cordoba sitting in it,...you get the picture...lol. think I like yours better! It'll sell👍
I didn't like the low oil pressure, a cold engine should have higher oil pressure. The non working tack and the oil pressure = a abused high mile engine.
I'll trade my wife a harley for that Cordoba, I've had 4 Cordobas, they're nice cars, all it is a '73-'74 Plymouth Roadrunner and Dodge Charger!!! So basically the car is a B-body platform!!! The '78-'79 Dodge Magnum is the same car just made for Dodge!!! Mopar or no car
@@Welcometofacsistube s0 you can tell us your experience of buying 1 new than? any issues?quality?power? no you cant you want me a new owner in 77 to tell you?
These cars were turds right out of the dealerships plaged with emissions, ignition, wiring, torsion bar suspension would never hold front end Alignment, personally ran many through a car crusher,they made better fence post than cars

It's been a while since I've seen one of these in person. I hope to see one again someday!

Sounds like an awesome car!
My friend’s mom had one. It was nice back then, and simply awesome today! If only I had the money.
Lots of people compare this to the Monte Carlo but this car is more luxurious without question but I always loved the exterior styling of MC, but again Grand Prix is king.
I had a powder blue GP with a white landau roof. You could stack a lot of college kids in that car.
I tried to get one of these in 1984, when I was in college. Mom said it was too extravagant for a college student.
My first car was a 75 Cordoba. Had a 318 that would not die. Great car.
My 2nd car was a 1975 Cordoba with a 360 V-8.
My first car was a 1975 Plymouth Fury with the 318 (same body/platform)

Nice Cordoba with some rare options and minor mods👍👍👍 The torsion bars need to be adjusted, it sits too low in the front. Otherwise a very cool ride.

Had a 77 back in 1980s One of the best riding Chryslers I’ve ever had and ran like a scalded dog 🐕

If you don’t like the door and trunk lid gaps on this Cordoba you should check out my ‘74 Imperial😁
Ahhh yes had one with Corinthian leather seats I think they’ve since changed the name to pleather but back in 79 Chrysler spared no expense
Ricardo Montalban made it sound so good.
“Fine” Corinthian Leather.
I was born 72. I thought these 70 cars were ugly as a teen in 80s, but now they are beautiful well crafted vehicles.. the plastic bumper unibody new stuff is cheap looking.
I wanted to buy one in the worst way when i was younger nice 400 but no Corinthian leather lol
No fine Corinthian leather?
I asked asked a Chrysler salesman what Corinthian leather was when I was a kid and he said it was a totally made up word.
There's no such thing as Corinthian leather.
It is made up, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I had a 78 with t-tops triple black beautiful car
I always wished that this was the car that lee would have made the convertible out of instead of the k car. This one and it’s sister car sure had the style and the lines.
Me too ! I Always wanted a Cordoba or Magnum convertible .
@@shaunclifton5281 Thanks Shaun I had to say “sister car”. I couldn’t remember the name Magnum. Just for fun you never see a stock Vega or the 4 door Thunderbird at your local car shows either. Those were some interesting times for designers and customers alike.
@@CSltz People talk bad about the Cordoba, but my family had them since new, and they drive and ride so Good. I Always wanted a T top one.
K cars were essentially disposable vehicles.

I just love the way Ricardo Montalban announced this car on TV. (RIP January 2009)
I had one back in the 80's. It didn't have the T-top. I had to have the carb rebuilt three different times, and it still never ran right.
It was most likely the lean burn system they put for emissions. People would change those out when the car was new.
@@alitheretrokid Thanks a lot. I wish I knew you 35 years ago. Haha!!!
Ricardo Montalban approves :)
"I like what they've done with my car". One of his quotes. =)
Does it have "Fine Corinthian Leather?
Alot of people rag on the malaise era cars, but they did produce some fantastic looking cars here and there
The emblem on trunk lock is missed.
Does it have the reech coreenthian leather?
Wow, a very beautiful car from the late seventies....
These cars competed with the likes of Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme. Had a 75 but no T-Top. 400 4V, nice road trip vehicle.
I love any T top car for the most part. Super kool this one.
The plastic on the steering column is cracked right below the gear selector ...not a word about it 🤔🙄
Speedometer needle looked broken too
My dad had one growing up as a kid in the 80s i remember it had the high beam button on the floor 😂
Yeah most cars did back then wasn't a big deal...
Awesome ol cruiser 👌💯
5:30 Is that the factory radio or was it swapped from a 1980s Chrysler product?
Does that include the "Corinthian Leather"?!
Fine Corinthian leather
Does the turret come with it?
i love american cars. but only until 90´s
Pretty car
I own two t top 79 300's.
I love doba's
Sure you do😂
This is the period where chrome was actually chrome, not that plastic/polished aluminum crap. Nice T top car for sure.....
Nice car,,.........👍😎
I had a silver/grey '78 Ttop Cordoba in 1983 that I only paid $1200 for from a bank repo
Why don't you say the price in these videos ?
Great question

Didn't Herb from WKRP in Cincinnati want one of these?
Yes and I wanted Jennifer
Does it have "fine Corinthian leather ?"
What’s the ticket?
We used to make fun of the Cordoba. Does it have Corinthian leather?
That is a NICE CHARGER. 400 BARREL. Turn her loose. Road Runner I'm coming up behind ya.
Too bad it doesn't have the rich Corinthian leather. 😑
Cuanto vale el Córdoba crarle
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!
I had one of these back in the day. The Mechanic and I had joint custody.
Damn, missing the truck key logo.... (spring loaded closed once key removed)
How much.
Sharp! 😎
Have to give you credit you have a knack for getting hideous cars in pretty good shape LOL
Hideous? Really? This is a classic luxury vehicle, you need to stick with your PT cruiser.
It’s a 75 Monte Carlo with fog lights
With fine Corinthian leather
Had one , awesome totally awesome illinois killed it with salt . Mopar.
I WANT it !
What wasthe model that had gold top and interior, car was white!!!
"300" appearance option
É muito da hora que coleção 👍👍👍
Corinthian leather interior i had a seventy eaght good car
Comes with a bottle of old spice.
What? No Ricardo Montalban? ROFLMAO!
What it lacked in power from its restricted 400 cu ins it made up for in poor gas mileage? ;^) I do agree, it is a good looking car.
I didn't like the low oil pressure, a cold engine should have higher oil pressure. The non working tack and the oil pressure = a abused high mile engine.
Great looking car except for the tires and tail pipes.

No "CORINTHIAN LEATHER" ????
Someone at Chrysler in the late 70’s “The Chevy Chevelle is selling great! Let’s make a car that looks just like it”.
Cuanto cuesta el crysler
It’s those interiors though....that cloth on the seats, just awful.
Chrysler: Chevy, can I copy your work?
Chevy: yeah just change it a little so it it's not obvious
Chances are the original owner did cocaine in this car
2k
Imitation Gran Prix.
They were crap! Give me a break!
Sure, princess. Whatever makes you sleep at night
With no idea whatsoever the price is, i would not even consider entertaining any notion of purchase
These cars were such a piece of junk I know several people that have them they just fell apart
beautiful but a POS of a car.
junk run away...from a mopar fan
Then you're no mopar fan
