What are you doing to it - looks good the way it is.

Well unfortunately in early September Moby took a bite out of the local wildlife population so it's in rebuild mode right now. Insurance wrote it off so I bought it back and have started the process of securing parts. I bought a 76 Doba from a wrecker near my house for $500 that gives me the fender, hood, facia and all of the trim and light housings that I need, and will also supply my father with the right rear quarter he needs for the T-bar Doba he just bought. Most of the interior is missing from the donor car but I will take all decent trim and all the glass and anything else I can think of before I cart off the rest. I have also gotten the measurements I need to forward off to Ron at Magnumforce and will most likely begetting the Transformer setup for the front and the four link for the rear from him. He is pretty sure that the 74 Charger piece he builds will work but the measurements will allow him to check for sure and make changes if need be before fabbing up one to send me. This stuff will have to wait for spring summer as I work in my driveway and I have snow onto of the mountain where I live now for the next 4 months at least. As for the motor I did the dress up kit and intake, carb easy quick upgrade before running HRPT 2014 but now I am dropping the motor out of her and stroking the 360 that is going on this winter.

Didn't mean that decal literally, doh!

Nice car mate.

What did you hit? (Moose, brown bear..?)

 

[Homstead]

Oh wow that sucks! My moneys says he hit a deer. Nice car and welcome to the site!

 

[streetmachine]

That sucks about the car but, hopefully you have it back on the road soon.

Hopefully the " Rich Corinthian Leather" survived. ;)

 

[YY1]

Nice.

 

[ColinV]

I tagged a very large Doe Mule Deer, Good thing I didn't get a moose, up here that would have crushed anything of the car.
Yes the Corintian leather survived, even streak free as this isn't the first time I've been through this.

Yeah it's got some strange things I would never have expected from a Doba
Non A/C, crank windows, and manual seats. Until I bought this car I don't recall ever seeing one without power everything, also the T-bar roof I had seen many magnums and 300's and even the odd Charger with this option but never before on Cordoba. And I just found a 78 Doba T-bar car with power everything, that I bought for $600.00 drove home, and gave to my Dad for retirement as he wanted a car to tinker with.

I could be interested in a few things as the parts car I got has some different items from mine. The grill assembly if it's the "egg crate" style and not just the upright bars. The band over the front of the landau roof I would like to get an aluminum one not the foam covered one. Also rear window trim in the if it's the straight aluminum not the vinyl embossed look as mine is in bad shape.
