New to me 79 Cordoba "restification" project.

[mgoblue9798]

Hi everyone. I have a new to me 79 Cordoba Crown Coupe. It has sat for many years and needs some work, but I am not afraid to tackle it. Couple questions- will 75-77 qtr extensions work on the 79? I found some nice 76 tail lamps I would like to use. I need new 1/4 extensions anyway, so I thought this might work out.

Also, would a 79 300 crosshair grille fit the header panel on this car? Are these grilles available for less than your first born child?

I am still spending on my Dad's old D100 restification and dont want to spend a pile on this Cordoba.

Thanks everyone.

Welcome to Mopar University.. Glad to have you on FBBO. I'm sure someone familiar with your model will be able to answer your questions.

purchased a very nice clean blue 75 Cordoba last month. Planning to use the drive line (400) and some chrome to restore a black 78 dodge magnum with a 400. Cordoba has a very nice blue interior. I plan on using the seats (recover in red leather) for my Magnum. This is an original Colorado with no rust(90K) very nice original factory paint the chrome bumpers a perfect grill the entire car looks like its a year old. I"m planning to part it out next spring when the weather improves. If you need parts now or later send my a text 303 898 8702

A '79 "300" grill should fit right in....if you can find an affordable one in good shape. As far as I know the quarter extensions might also fit but I am sure there is someone out there that can give you a definite answer on that. As I have found out the hard way, there aren't too many places with after market parts for Cordobas but there are three salvage yards that I have used to get parts.

If you need a '79 300 grille I have one. It's in really decent shape as it came from Pacific NW. I was going to use it on my 79 Cordoba but, I have already have a NOS grille and surround for my car. If you're interested just let me either way.

What do 300 grills go for these days?

I've about $200 with shipping into mine and it's not perfect. I was told you can expect a NOS one to be priced at $400-$500.
