Hello from Minnesota

[Av8rleo]

Hi All,

Longtime Cordoba fan, hoping to work my way into and purchase my uncles 1979 Chrysler Cordoba. He did a restoration on it in 1987 (or so) when he was in auto body school and I've wanted to buy it since I was about 15 years old.

At any rate, body is in good shape but mechanically it does need some work. He has an extra 360 laying around that we are going to have bored 40 over and build for the car. Then the stock 360 with the lean burn will come out and we'll paint the engine compartment and put it all back together again. Hasn't been driven in about 5 years so it will be really nice to get it running again.

Hoping to lean on people here for information as I go through the rebuild process!

Thanks!
JP

Welcome! Every time I hear "Cordoba" I always think about Ricardo Montalban. This may be too far back for some of you to know who this is, so here is a link to explain:

Cool cars, I always like to look of the grille/headlight area!

I had a friend in high school that had a new one back in around 78 or 9. He always had better luck getting dates with it than me with my primered dented big block 69 Sweptline. Welcome have fun it is a cool car.

Does anyone on here have the info to decode exactly which "package" a particular Doba is? From what I know from 15+ years ago the Cordobas that had T tops were slightly more rare. This is a T top with center console shift more a long the lines of the 300.

TIA

Welcome tO FBBO. I'm originally from MN myself. Used to love the Córdoba back in the day. Haven't seen one in years. Hope you get a crack at your uncles. I've tried to get some embers burning with some of the younger guys in my extended family in hopes one of them wants my GTX some day. Good luck and good moparing....
