I went to a cruise earlier this month and met a kid with a 75 runner

 

[MOBodyman]

I recently bought a '75 RoadRunner from a neighbor who had owned it for 20 years. I also own 2 '79 Chrysler 300s, one of which had I sold to a friend about 15 years ago. And I just bought a '79 Cordoba Crown Coupe t-top car from another a friend who had owned it since 1984.

No chit, a Crown Coupe. WOW! Nice, real nice. I think they probably made less than 70 of those Crown coupes. Also those Late B body Chargers are some of the most lowest production cars/MoPars there are. No demand for those cars whatsoever when they were new.

I think the biggest problem, besides the gas cruch(s) was lack of idenity in the Chry.D.P line up. There all Cordoba based bodies with not enuff change in metal from the Dobas.

Hey, what am I supposed to do when they keep following me home?

Rumblefish, I knew I couldn't remember seeing another Crown Coupe. Where do you find production #s on the later Bs? I recently sold a beautiful '77 Fury Sport with the Windsor cloth interior. I don't ever recall seeing that interior in another one.

OK I'll bite, what is the difference between a Crown Coupe and a regular Cordoba that makes them special?

Got any pictures?

MOBodyman - got any pictures of the 77 Fury Sport you sold, I would like to see that.

Thanks

And look around, the for sale section has a Crown Coupe for slae.
The most noticable thing that gives away a Crwon Coupe is the Landau top goes farther down the 1/4 panel below the rear window.

In the link above, the C/C for sale has a link to a write up that makes some notes to it and it's production numbers. Below 80 made and sold.

Other things like weird interior or exterior items I'm not sure about.

'77 Fury Sport

Jonno,
This car had 24,*** miles on it when I bought it and 27,*** on it when I sold it a year later. It even had all 5 original tires!
I'll have to check out my Crown Coupe a little closer and see if there's anything different about it other than the top. I'll take some pics, too.

Wow, great shots! Chrysler sure made some different interiors in those days! All that tartan cloth and everything!

I really like the base Fury's and the Monaco's with the hardtop style and no opera windows, although you see lots more Fury Sports and upmarket Monaco's like this out there.

MOBodyman, if you don't mind me asking, what would a car like your Fury be selling for. Round numbers, doesn't have to be the exact amount.

Did you say you have a '75 Roadrunner? Got any shots of it?

And rumblefish360, thanks for the link to the Crown Cordoba, now I know what one is!

 

[69 Runner]

Sweet ride. But I thought when they went to the quad headlights it made it look to much like a Monte Carlo

 

[Pastortom1]

When I look at that car I hear Ricardo Montalban saying, "Rich Corinthian Leather"..........................

........................whatever that stuff was.....................:santa:

 

[Jonno]

74 Satellite, got any shots of the cars you have listed that have been and gone?

Specifically the '75 and 76 Fury and the '77 Monaco.

 

[hemi_harvester]

I used to have a couple Magnums (real MAGNUMS NOT sw) Does that count..

I would buy a 75 RR if I could find a real nice one.

 

[alleyoopmgv]

Me too! a 75 roadrunner is one of my favorite's!

I'll have to take some pics of the '75 Roadrunner. I'll take some of the Crown Coupe and post them also. I think I got $6k for the Fury, probably not enough as it should have brought but I sold it to a friend.

Just reading up on the Cordoba Crown Coupes a little bit, they seem to have been produced in both '77 and '78. Interesting option package with the targa strap over the roof.

I did a Yahoo search and found a '78 on Jay Leno's Garage site. It states there were 211 made that year. I haven't been able to find out any info on production #s in '79. Mine has t-tops but you could also get them with a regular roof or a sunroof, according to a couple of Mopar books I have.

MOBodyman, you also listed that you have two '79 Chrysler 300's, what kind of shape are they in?
