I had one my senior year 1978. It was a 1975. It was ordered by an older gentleman who paid a 25% order deposit but he passed away before it was delivered and his family didn't want it. It sat in the back lot unsold so I made an offer on it. It was loaded with every accessory and it had the 400/4v. Brown with cream interior, leather seats. Nice riding car, lots of power. Brother rolled it in '83.

That’s sweet man

Homie knows everything about the Cordoba except how to say it. Lol

I love the history lesson surrounding the Cordoba, as explained by Bryan McTaggart. The funniest thing that struck me about the lesson is the man who knows so much about the history of the model, cannot seem to say "CORDOBA" :D

Wouldn't mind seeing a restoration series on this. If for entertainment value if nothing else. I just hope the fine Corinthian leather can be saved. :)

Or Codorba as McTaggery kept saying.

That's weird. I had a '79 Volare in the 2000s, and beyond some surface rust on a small dent in the passenger door, it had no rust anywhere. It was the most rust free classic car I have ever owned, and this car had never been garaged and sat for nine years at one point. I live in Tennessee, so I would never thought those cars were known for rust. I loved that car.

I always liked Cordoba's even though we considered them very trailer parky. They were comfortable cars that could be dressed up to look pretty sporty.

May not have been the most popular car of the 70s but it had a cool look of its own.

With as badly rusted out as it is, as you said, there are a lot of good parts left to salvage. Strip everything off of it you can so as not to waste any good parts that are on it. The left fender looks like it had rust from the battery tray, but looks repairable. The doors look good, right fender looked good, and the major rust is in the cowl. Saving the sheet metal on this, as well as the engine, trans, and rear end, would definitely be a good thing for other cars to live.

Hi Dylan, love your channel. Never miss an episode! I bought a 1977 Cordoba a year ago. It had been sitting for about 14 years outside in the hot Colorado sun so the Paint on one side and on the trunk lid is pretty faded and the Landau has deteriorated. But no rust and it is a straight body and interior. It actually looks pretty nice. It has the 400 and it only has 44,000 original miles on it!.. We have gone through it and replaced mostly the seals and gaskets. It runs and drives like a dream!! I am a Mopar fanatic, and this is actually my forth Cordoba. I LOVE them. I Just feel that I could get alittle more power out of it if I had a better Carburetor. It has the 4 barrel Thermo Quad and although we rebuilt it, it still doesn't seem quite right. What would be an acceptable alternative replacement? It is also a cold blooded beast and takes for ever to warm up! LOL! Of course I know this is characteristic of most Mopars having owned many from 1959 through 1978. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Will

Bump up the compression and get a warmer cam in it. The Cordoba engines were dogs because of the emissions demands back then. I ran small blocks in my Corobas. Same issue. Low compression ratio. Shaved the heads and put a warmer cam in them and they woke up quite a bit even with the Holley 2145 2 barrel that came on them. I converted a couple from lean burn to earlier standard electronic ignition too. Lean burn systems won't let you do much with them for mods. Lucky most of my mopars didn't have lean burn. I think those came out in mid 77 or 78 models.

In this episode, Dylan attempts to friction weld his way through a trunk lid lock 😂.

Was really hoping it wasn't that badly rusted, apparently it was. At least the engine can be salvaged. Your friend, Brian, is super cool! Got to get him back on more frequently. Great episode.

@@kbar150 So far, most of the rust has been on the firewall, where welds need not be pretty; but he does need to get a fair amount of stuff out of the way first, possibly including the engine. As for ongoing rust, I stop it where it is pretty easily using carnauba spray wax in a pressure washer, including self serve car washes, spraying anything that is rusting or might rust. I even spray interiors in late autumn, when mold is least likely. I use silicone tire shine on exhaust.

My first car was a used metallic green 78 Cordoba. I hated the flat tail lights though and adapted the earlier style onto it. I also would have preferred the round headlights too like this has.

I actually like the front of the 78-79 better than the single headlight version. I especially like the 79 300. But in CA, only the 75's are smog exempt.

Dude, if the firewall wasn't completely rotted out I would rock the hell out of this thing. I'd tune it up, swap a ThermoQuad onto it, put a full dual exhaust on it with Flowmaster Super 40s, put some 15" slotted mags on it (like I had on my 1984 Ramcharger), change all of the fluids and filters, and I'd rock it around. Oh, and it'd have to have a modern bluetooth stereo and all new speakers. I LOVE the 360 LA engine.

I love these vintage Chryslers. In 1993 I was 17 and got my first car. It was a 1976 Chrysler Newport. All my friends love my land yacht. It was in near mint condition. It was missing the fender skirts and had one little dent above where one of the skirts would have been. It was the size of a nail head. It was absolutely awesome. It had power everything even power windows!!! I was living in Kingsport, TN when I bought it. I moved back to Chicago, IL after I graduated high school. I guess someone liked it a little bit more than me because someone stole it and it was never found. I remember too it was a beautiful metallic brown with a vinyl roof... Classy!!!!

Neat feature I found after buying my first Cordoba. Turn signal indicator on the drivers side fender would flash if you were overly aggresive on the throttle. Took finding an owners manual to figure that out. 😂

Loved this video. My folks had a 76. Silver with a red vinyl top. I want to say our had a 400. Only problems it ever gave us were the computer went out twice and it rusted out in less than ten years. Lol

Yes! running it in Neutral to fill the transmission! Good tip for vehicles that have sat a long time. NEUTRALUS

There is no better place to film shenanigans than on top of your own fire truck 😂

That Chrysler starter Whine. My 69 Newport and 73 duster both had it.

My brother-in-law bought the only one Cordoba made in 1976 that had the three-tone package (black paint, red pinstriping, and white leather interior. It was fully loaded with power door locks, power windows, both power front seats, T-tops with a/c and an 8-track tape player. He was working at a Chrysler dealership at the time and got a good deal on this car. The salesman told him that they only made one (1) like it! It was a beautifully styled car that did not last long on the lot! Before he knew it, they were handing the keys to him!

It was good to see the Cordoba in the field in anger once again. It really doesn't need that much to run better. 👌🏻🤘🏻 your friend was cool with the knowledge and self sacrifice

My family had one of these bought new from Heber Springs Arkansas. It was A 75 too with a 360 in the same color green, green velour interior and a white top. My Dad was a calf roper and we pulled a one horse trailer with it for many, many miles. It eventually became my Mom's car, then mine. It had air shocks too. I drove it all through high school and my first year of college. I am not sure how many miles were on it, but it had to be a bunch. Watching this video brought back a lot of memories. As I watched I thought of all the times I ran my hands across the body washing and waxing it. These cars have aged much better than I would have thought back in the day. Thank you for sharing this one. I wish it could be saved and I guess it could if a person was willing to patch the cowl panel.

I bought a 1977 cordoba in 1989 for $100. Bought it for the engine/trans for my 1969 satellite. The cordoba had a 2bbl 383 in it. It was setting in a fencerow, my dad and I dumped a couple gallons of gas in the tank, a bit down the carb, water in the rad, hooked jumper cables to it and it fired up. Drove it the 10 miles home. Did end up registering the car, plating/insuring it and drove it for a few months. Got real smokey inside when doing burnouts. The trunk was rotted pretty bad but man was that car fun.

Well, it does run & drive. Too bad about that rust. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

I had flashbacks of grade school. My uncle was a salesman for a Dodge dealership, and my Grandma and father had a Cordoba. My uncle had one of those Little Red Truck Express. So cool.

Man this hits home... i grew up in one of these. Actually two.. my grand mother owed a blue and a white one. I remember her doing a burnout in the white on lol... good times.

Thats a shame its rusty, that was an awesome color. As for the late B-Bodies, I prefer the sedan body as opposed to the Cordoba body. Those are basically a 71 Coronet with different bumpers and grilles. - Jamie

A little context to share from someone who remembers these when they were new. Literally driven from the dealership to the neighbors driveway. Our neighbor had purchased a Cordoba in June 1975 and the neighborhood thought it was one very sexy car. It had the big engine and was stunning with its blue body and white vinyl half roof. It was loaded with every comfort feature. Imagine how it contrasted in this era to four door Chevelle's and Nova's in the surrounding driveways. So much feeling is lost if you look at a car years later without considering the time in which the car was made. It is so hard to see these in Atlantic Canada, where I live, because collectors go for the Mustang's, Firebirds, and Mopar Sport models. A lot also collect English Cars like the Austin Healey. If you want attention bring one of these to a car show in my part of the world. Thankyou Dylan for reminding me of a very nice personal luxury car. Wishing all the best to our Southern neighbors and all who just love talking about cars.

Man that was a good video to watch. Keep on going with your content!

I love the turbo reference over and over and over.... it's the first time I've ever heard someone say " it lit off" when they were talking about a 5-cyl Mopar just moving under it's own power.

Love the sound of Chrysler starters during this timeframe. Reminds me of my grandma's Valiant and my first car, a Fury III.

Just bought a 92 Ford Falcon that's been sitting 11 years, but lucky for me it's in much better condition!

When I was a kid we had a '78 DOBA with the 318 and square headlights. Car was a beautiful dark brown metalic.

Yesssss! A good friend of mine had a 77 Cordoba in high school. I have a real soft spot for those cars because of the good times had in his.

I graduated HS in 1989, our JV football coach had a wine ,burgundy colored Cordoba. It was an awesome looking beast.

You are close but the Charger SE was suppose to be the Plymouth Sebring and the Cordoba was suppose to be the Charger SE according to Collectible Automotive Magazine articles. These articles were written by the styling people at Chrysler. Loved my new Cordoba back in 1976 with the 360 two barrel. Thanks for the video. Brought back memories. Mine had white Corinthian leather. :)

I’m a recent subscriber and I love your channel I look forward to your videos all the time now. Great content keep up the great work brother!

Great stuff guys thanks

My aunt worked for a VP at Chrysler for decades. Always had a Cordoba in our family. Proudly built in Windsor Ontario Canada. Lasted until the mini van started at Plant #3. The 400 ci was the worst, would over heat in the summer. The 360 and the later 318 were better. The early ac/heat controls were to the left of the steering wheel, so only the driver could touch.

I purchased a Cordoba, new, in January of 1975. I still have it to this day. It is my daily driver. I have nearly 400,000 miles on an original 360 cu in engine. Albeit, I have had three transmission and three carburetors over those years, but the car just keeps on going. To top it off, the older the car gets the more compliments I receive when I am out and about. .

I owned a 1976 Cordoba, red with a white interior, throttle would stick wide open occasionally. Made for a bit of a white knuckle drive

Back in the early 80's I had a 73 Challenger with the pistol grip 4 speed and a 340 a friend of mine had one of these Cordoba's in black with t tops. He was the first person here locally to run nitrous on the street. A bit later another guy built a Dodge Demon that had nitrous. At the time they were the fastest local street racers. I wasn't into the Cordoba look at the time but it was very fast!

I can't remember how many Doba's I towed home for free . Mostly rusty ,mostly running ...ah well , it was the early 80's ...still love them👍

Keep up the great work. Got the sweet thing running again. Sweet.

I would love to see you guys do a carb rebuild on that thing and drive it as is. Hopefully at least the frame is good

Your Cordoba is in better shape than the one I had when I was 19. I loved that rusted out junker, it was black on black on black with the rich Corinthian leather, rusted to hell, but I didn't care... lol

This was the first car learn to drive in, my father had several of them, the last one being a 1979 with square headlights. I use the emblem to keep myself on the road. My dad taught me that if I kept the emblem on the white line or the yellow dots I would stay in my lane. Lots of fond memories of the Chrysler Cordoba… i’ve always dreamt of finding one of these on a farm and restoring it myself, maybe even putting a CB radio in it, like my father did😉

Very cool, I had a nice 76 Cordoba 400 big block

My first car was a 76 Cordoba with the 360 2 barrel. Wish I had not traded it off. Drove to Cali from Ontario back in the 90s. Sweetest riding car I ever had. Like ridingon a cloud.

Challenge Kevin and Derrick to find and fix up a Chrysler of the same style and join you for a race on your property! And get it on video on all 3 channels!

As a dumb 24 year old, I traded my 73 black Charger S/E (bought new) for a 75 Cordoba in silver. Boy, was that a mistake. The 360 hardly ever ran right - which the Chrysler mechanic said was due to a lousy carburetor. It would sometimes refuse to start and would conk out for no apparent reason. On our honeymoon in 1977, we drove it from Chicago to Maine with no issue. Just lots of gas needed. It was a great road car and cruised easily at 60 to-65. The instant we pulled it into my folks' driveway back home, the main radiator hose blew. Within 6 months, the silver was flaking off and my friend and I then repainted the hood. As there were no screws of any kind holding the tail lights in place, one of them just fell off somewhere. Then, reverse gear blew out. Fortunately, those old Torqueflites were cheap to repair. Got rid of it in 1979 with only 59K on it. I got a whole $1500.00 for it. Ah, the memories!

Funny thing is the Thermoquad is the carb people think of badly today. But the Holley 4160 was the leaker and many were replaced under warranty with a Carter from the previous model year. The big Holley 2 barrel that came on 360's and 400 was bullet proof. My Fury ran great as soon as I figured out the smog check guys were screwing up the adjustments to the carb and spark timing. But I agree. I like Cordobas, but would never give up a 72-73 Charger for anything.
