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.

My friend’s mom had one. It was nice back then, and simply awesome today! If only I had the money.

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

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.

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 😜

Sounds like an awesome 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.

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

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

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.

I had a 78 with t-tops triple black beautiful car

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!

With fine Corinthian leather

Does the turret come with it?

What’s the ticket?

Damn, missing the truck key logo.... (spring loaded closed once key removed)

I had a silver/grey '78 Ttop Cordoba in 1983 that I only paid $1200 for from a bank repo
