Love the big boats from the 70's. Not ugly at all.
This is a 78 i believe, my dad had a 77, it was his first car back in 1986, and it is a legendary car in my head, the sound of the secondaries opening up from that thermoquad 4 barrel has put such an impression on me i love it, unfortunately when my dad was done with it, it went to the junkyard, and was probably picked apart, but i have one thing from that car, the hood ornament, and it sits on my night stand, and i admire it and turn it in my hands often, it has many memories of my dad driving wrecklessly, and I absolutely love it
I had a 77 Cordoba in 87...drove it like I stole it most of the time. I did the usual lid-flip on the air cleaner...made those secondaries extra loud!
Black over Black!!!! console shift!! I love it You''ll be sorry removing the A/C
Black.on black?... No a/c...be hotter than a sob...azz sweat galore...lol
What an awesome car for $600! I could drive that everday.
That's a proper land yacht. Nobody ever expects that sort of car to be able to get out of its own way as they were so strangled so it is going to be fun. If I were you I'd keep the AC and get it working again as being black on black it will turn into an oven in summer without it...
Finally someone who appreciates a good land yacht, she is gonna need some 3/73 gears to get that tank to sleeper status tho , awesome find!!
Oh that's awesome! Chrysler Córdoba! I had one with the big block 400 4 barrel carb. It was pretty decent stock.
Actualy that car is not ugly, if you want to see ugly look at 99.9 percent of every single car built today. That car actualy has some style. The dirt on that car looks better than any Honda or Toyota prius.
Amen to that. Car designs are Dead now. You can't tell the difference from a Hyundai to Mercedes to Toyota. ..all are so generic and dead.
The only vehicle that’s looks ok are jeeps these days
@Frank Quitely Yes ! Freakin silver, grey, and white. Thank God Toyota put that new turquoise out and Chevy went wild with that rose pink on that small car...whatever it is. But 99% of everything new is dead and boring.
@@cameronowen5601 Agreed
I agree 💯
I'd drive that thing everyday to be honest! Get the AC working and it would be amazing!
steven shamblin when you're in a city with bad traffic doing 25 and 30 miles an hour that don't work
@@stevemitchell2252 amen . i was stuck in traffic jam in Atlanta once 98 degrees and no AC it was worse than being in normal traffic . the asphalt under the car creates more heat and it sucks
Oh he'll yes a Cordoba! I have two, both 76's but not leather.
I'd like to correct you, not ugly. Always loved that body style.
agreed, ive had my cordoba for 11 months and its the best first car i could ever have.
Back in the mid nineties I purchased a 78' Chrysler Cordoba and built the thing out and it was a true sleeper, I miss that car, this brings back so many fond memories, one just can't truly understand until they drive one of those cars, I really want to find a 78' - 79' Dodge Magnum.
I have a 78 magnum its in pretty good condition, I live in Alaska but it is for sale. Its also red.
Nice score, Dylan. Chrysler's answer to the Monte Carlo. These cars may have been over the top but, they were ever so reliable and always did what they were supposed to do given proper care, maintenance and respect. If you are going to re-build the Carter Thermoquad there is a channel on YT by the name of "Peter Anderson" who does a meticulous job of explaining and showing exactly how it's done. He's Australian and a teacher after working for many years in the industry 'Down Under'. It's in my humble opinion that he's definitely worth a look at as well as his other videos on all sorts of things. Thank you.
P.S. Those old plugs looked like the gap was set far too close. 0.035" is the proper gap. Will you run Ac Delco or NGK? I like both because they don't burn up like Champion. Bosch is also a great choice, however, a little pricey. Correct me if I'm wrong but, can you use the higher lift camshaft from a 440? I think you can. You may even have one floating around in your shop. Thanks.
It may have been the answer but it was not the right one. Monte carlo far our clsses. I drove both so I know.
there are sparkplugs with longer shanks that thread deeper into the head,it unshrouds the electrode.i think earlier 440 plugs.the ones your using actually places the electrode in the hole away from the combustion chamber.a old mopar man showed me on a loose set of heads that it brings them flush with the heads chamber.a very noticable improvement on the 76 cordoba 400 that i had.for some reason the plug it calls for in the book is the short thteaded one.
I love those Cordoba's and magnum body styles that's awesome the trunks always go bad up here in the rust belt great find
Gotta love those Chrysler reduction drive starters, very unique sound when cranking. Always hated having to wait for it to wind down when trying to start a car.
dave1135 my great grampa designed it..he use to have lil mock up pieces ..from designing it...in his desk at home when he retired...i use to play with them as a kid ..chrysler used that starter for allllloooonnnnggg time lol
dave1135 he also engineered and designed there cruise control
Yep Prestolite starters ... had their own unique sound... I miss them...
If the starter doesn't spin down quickly then the starter wasn't (re)built properly. There is a brake mechanism to bring the starter to a stop when the solenoid disengages.
The gear reduction starter is not a Prestolite unit. It's a Chrysler-built starter. The direct-drive starter in my 1954 C1-B8 pickup is Auto-Lite.
Hey Hamblen County! I used to work for a country station out of Morristown close to there! Sweet ol Cordoba man.
My pops had a brown 77 with the correnthian leather!
Awesome buy for only $600. Make sure you keep the original 8 track player! ^^
@tedddy edwards Yeah, no way in hell he paid six bills for that thing!!! I paid 4 grand for a beautiful time capsule 78 dodge magnum one owner with a tick over 56k on the odometer almost 10 years ago, and was able to sell it for over twice that after a guy saw it when i was fueling her up. He literally would not leave me alone so i said give me ten for it, we haggled and ended up at 8700 bucks!!! Not a bad investment at all, but i don't believe for a minute the car in this clip was bought for 6 hundred bucks!! I just picked up a 78 monte carlo 305 all original with around 80k miles for 3k, so i'll just say his purchase reeks of bullshit!!
I love Cordobas. The 3 top things killing that are are smogged-out exhaust, about 7:1 compression ratio, and a broomstick cam.
Biggest thing was lean burn and 2.45 axle ratio...Non lean burn 400 4bbl with 3.21's we ran 13.9 bone stock besides no lean burn and true x pipe duel exhaust..360 4bbl ran low 14's with 3.21's and that went from 15.50 - 15.90's with a 79 300 (Cordoba) with the e 58 360 4bbl dead stock,we removed lean burn..This was back when they were actually under 100,000 mile cars in 1980-1985...Now they are all 240,000 - 340,000 miles...Sure some under 100,000 but those are pristine looking ones..
+01trsmar My brother bought a brand new 78 Magnum with 360 and 2.45s . My dad bought a new 78 Cordoba the same. The FIRST thing Both did was ditch the 2 barrel intake and all for 340 intakes and carb plus switched to electronic ignition, better exhaust, and enjoyed the hell out of the 2.45s. Both cars had 999 transmissions with the low first gear. Neither had any intentions of the 1/4 mile. We had plenty others for that. We still have the Magnum. Both cars were used in all forms of travel and loved them both. Love Mopar, but the lean burn hit the trash on both of these cars when they were new.
01trsmar NO one with Any mechanical skills kept the lean burn, much less 2 barrel intakes. I remember going to friends' houses that had bought brand new vehicles, and watching them toss the 2 barrel intakes, and switch to an aluminum intake and new 4 barrel within the first 3 days of ownership.
Yeah, I used to do the same sort of thing on a variety of vehicles. Had lots of fun making smog era motors wake up. THEN Smog Laws came to Las Vegas and most of those changes would make it so the cars wouldn't pass smog tests. That was a real bummer...
+MISTERComaToes I Want a 78 or 79 Crown Coupe Cordoba with T tops. White preferably lol
When I was in high school, I had a Black on Black Chrysler Cordoba with a sun roof and all red Corinthian Leather Interior. At 18 I got drunk at a pig-roast and drove my car 3/4 the length of a home made mud bog before getting stuck.
400s are good, I have one in a 68 charger. The cool thing is that they have the biggest bore compared to the 383 and 440, so if the compression is raised they can make good power.
Love these old cars! Thanks for rescuing 'em!
great video Dylan always down to earth
keep em running!
Can't wait to see what you got in store for this
Nice ride definitely a candidate for a sleeper
Awesome I love the way it looks it has character
Had a friend who had one of those when it was nearly new. It was a nice smooth ride. I remember the a/c being ice cold, that added to the comfort in the summer. Great save. Those 400's can be turned into torque monsters. Thanks for the vid.
My dad had the exact same car with T-tops and cragar wheels when I was a kid. Ugly car but it was the coolest thing to ride in. Awesome find. Looking forward to this project.
Love it! I have a 77 New Yorker, this era of Mopars don’t get the love they deserve
Just stumbled upon this channel and i'm so glad i did. I've been a mopar man since birth, managed to score a motorhome 440 for the low price of my and some friend's time ripping the RV off it. I't was messy in the best way possible.
We had a '75 'Doba when I was growing up. My dad showed a few people up with that 360 4bbl! Doors were SO heavy on these! Great find, Dylan!
good find, get the ac working while doing a little head work with a new cam and ya got a sweet cruiser! tint windows black....good luck
Fun whacky project. I luv it.
I love this tank!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do with her. That interior is going to shine up nice!
Great find, great car! Used to have a '76 Cordoba with the 360, dark brown metallic matching interior with white vinyl half top. Dual thrush mufflers with black mod rims white lettered tires......man, I used to get a lot of compliments with it! Your right about floating down the highway....smooth. Can't wait to see where you take this one!
"Well, you gotta taste a little gas every now and then." - Priceless!
cyanidetube He’s right! Makes you tough.
Last time I did that working on my then girlfriend's Yamaha FS1E. I was belching petrol burps all afternoon and into the evening. So rank. I hardly dared smoke tbh.
That's some real man advice there! LMFAO!
The looks of the car is fantastic
Stale fuel really gets me !
Absolutely the right car for a sleeper build. Or a daily driver build.
I thought I revisited this video it’s been a year since I’ve watched it and found my comment also. This is when I first found your channel Dylan. I was on a search on CZcams for Chrysler Córdoba and yours was one of the video I found. Your channel has Blessed you in so many ways. I know since you bought the 2nd Doba 2.0.
I’m glad I subscribed when I started watching different CZcams channels especially when COVID-19 hit and lost interest on TV 📺 reruns. Thank you and have a Blessed One Sir.
Thats why I love my Torino and the 429 powered mercury stationwagon I have.. Keep up the vids.
That car for $600? and people still buy new cars....
Cool,I'd definitely have latched on to a $600 400 big block Cordoba,I myself plan to find me either a Cordoba,or a charger se,just want somewhat decent,with title,sport wheel and 400 motor.
Yeah, for good reason.
That car is a hopeless shitbox.
Yes, many people have cars in the same condition sitting in the back of the yard and rot up...but they dont fix them up for car, instead they purchase new cars...🤔
Maybe Someday only in America.
I'd love to find something comparable here in Canada.
Apparently, all the real cars from the 70's and 80's have hit the wreckers 😒😒😒😒😒😒
@tedddy edwards You'd be surprised - there's plenty of great old cars out there for super cheap, usually from people who don't use the internet much. The cars that are super expensive these days are people that see something for already too much money and think "well mine is nicer than that so I'll add another grand onto it." There's a reason most of those cars are still up for sale months later.
She's a beaut clark can't wait to see this build enjoy your videos alway's I have alway's wanted a old boat caddy are LTD myself just as a cruiser so excited to see how this turns out for you
Beautiful, my first Mopar 75 Cordoba 400 ci ran mid 15 sec... after tune up and headers, factory limited slip.... never forget that car was a lot of fun! Super on road trip as well.
Growing up, my neighbor bought brand new 78-79? Dodge Magnum XE 400 big block, console, buckets, floor shift, gauges, tilt, tuff-wheel, t-tops, and weird plexiglass, (Lexan) factory headlight covers. Root beer Brown metallic, Brown leather interior. Very nice car!! Your purchase reminded me very much of my neighbors new car!! Thanks, have fun, be safe! I subscribed too!
Your so damn lucky man. I'm restoring a 79 T top Cordoba. Those bucket seats, console and shifter are worth $600 all by them selves. I'm very jealous indeed.
Lmao .....not they're not ....haha people who own these usually enter them in destruction derbies and throw the interior in the garbage .....these aren't some rare sought after car.
Bud D ohh really, why don't you come with me to chrysler nats in Carlisle this summer and you can buy me a set. The bucket seats average $400 a set and around 2 for a console. Yea alot of them get demoed but most of these cars come with bench seats. This day in age these cars are hard to find parts for and that's why there so expensive. I mean honesty, what would you know.
People should never destroy their cars prematurely. If the chassis is going then fine, racing then fine, but you gotta keep up the nice ones that get you going in the morning :)
Useful Entertainment they remind me of a old Chevy Monte Carlo
@@UsefulEntertainment Evidently he hasn't seen prices and demand of descent Cordobas. They have really gotten popular again.
I had one just like that but with red interior in it . Nice riding cars wish I had mine back now
Had one with T-Tops bucket seats and 400 motor. Great highway cruiser. Fast as hell!!!
How can you not like it? The style is so cool. I love the looks of it.
Cool Doby, with Soft Corinthian Leather , Mr. Ricardo Montalban .
It's a great looking car. Nice project.
Great find , great price, you can't beat that !
I love old American sleepers!!😍🔥
Especially from the luxury segment! When at the traffic lights it seems to others that this yacht can only move from its place in one minute, and it has already gained 100 km in 5 seconds!🥰
A nice, clean old Mopar is a good thing to have! Even though it chugs gas it's still cheaper than a car payment. But I have never, ever seen one around here with both taillights.
Cordobas aren't ugly. I think that's a fine car. Clean it up and enjoy it! I would keep the AC though. Cordobas were luxury sorts coupes.
Back in the dat they were quite nice. I think the earlier models had a little more style, but even this version of it was fine.
Better than a 4 door charger...🤔
I always remember the commercial from the 70's, Ricardo Montalban. In a thick Spanish accent, "Loook what they've done to my Corrrdoba!"
Cool “Doba” , I had a few of these in the early 80’s . Some with 400’s and a couple LA cars . Had a nice Magnum for a while , black on black with an American sunroof t top option .....fun cars that were easy to cruise .
in the 90's I had a 76. It was a rust bucket, but it was ALWAYS been my favorite car. Rode like a dream.
those where a pimpin car in their day! Had some style in that era. Like to see you restore the body back to original! nice
I hope you repair that driver seat...and swap a 4.11 gear set into the rear...that will really wake up the big block !
Oh man, my dad traded a TV for a 77 with the 400ci back in 2005 when people hated these cars. It was sitting for like 15 years, only took a few hours to get the ol bag going once that crap stock carb was changed. 78k original miles too, nice copper color outside with brown cloth interior. Man I miss that thing, too bad she was rusty.
Great find! I would have loved to have heard that Thermoquad open up. Look forward to the update and maybe if you would let us hear the Thermoquad wide open before you change it out.
Wow a Chrysler Cordoba i didn't think there were any out there any more
Beautiful car man, I drive a 76 as a daily driver, great Road machines, best of luck to you.
I'm getting my 76 running here soon and it will be my daily driver too.
Now that is a beauty. Totally need to make her a daily driver as well as a sleeper. 400s were great smooth running engines. My favorite body style of any post muscle car body.
Man this brings back a lot of memories. In highschool I had a 77 Charger (same car) with the 360. Was a great car and man that thing would fly!!
I had a 78 Magnum with the same motor and interior. I'll tell you now that those silver buckles in the seat will burn your butt when you sit down on every sunny day. My car came with pathetic 2.46 gears in the rear end.
I had a 78 Magnum it had the 360 in it though I wish I still had it even though it was ugly
Google, really 2.46 ratio pathetic ? Put enough horses to that rear end and you got a 200 mph car.
Yeah gotta be over 3: ratio diff for a nice driving V8
Very nice. To bad it couldn't be an all black Magnum. That would be worthy of sleeper status. Have fun. Like your videos.
Love your videos bringing the old cars back to life, keep it up 👍
subscribed....cant wait to see the progress
they don't make cars like that anymore. What was so cool about those days was that the average person could tell an Olds Cutlass from a Ford Galaxie to a Chevrolet Impala...just some examples but you get the idea. Uniqueness, not oval or round bubbles making up nearly every car today.
My ex ole lady had one! It would smoke the tires for days! Lottsa torque! Lol!
Nice find! Man I wish I had a garage. Just picked up a 79 T-bird and I can't mess around with it unless I wanna freeze xD
Had one. Loved the 360. Was really fun to drive.
Not a bad looking Chrysler Cordoba!
100 amp alternator rare?!! Never seen a Cordoba without one. Mill the heads .060 and put a 268 degree cam in it, a pair of 1 3/4" headers and she will run nicely.
A friend of mine bought one of those in the mid 90s. It was also $600 (must be the going price for those) but it was a running,driving car, also with the 400 engine and of course " Rich Corinthian leather" . Good find . Enjoy it.
LOVE IT!!! great score. Reminds me of the Magnum I had in High school. Your is loaded with options and black on black is pretty rare! I bought quarter skins for mine from JC Whitney back then. LOL!
My neighbor has a 78 new port with a 400 BB mild cam intake carb and tre dual exhaust we took it to Toronto in the summer from Windsor 4 hour drive a R8 and a brand new lambo roll up beside us DT all the kids ran to take pics of the 4500$ boat that cost as much as thier wheels LOL
cam, port match the heads n intake and exhaust. Posi with 373 gears!
Love it! My aunt had one when i was a kid corinthian leather t tops, awesome car. Hey now! yours has a biggus blockus in it!
HI Dylan, really pleased for you, i had one a 76 cord, so wish i had it now, really temped to find one & have it imported to the uk, keep us up dated on what you do, all the best, Chas.
great find..only thing I'll say is I always liked these boats..IMO not an ugly car..make it run like a beast and polish it up a little
Yes, all of this please.
My new favorite channel !!
I had two of those when I was younger. Loves them. Last one was
Black on black corinthian leather loaded up with t-tops
and the big block 400. Stock those engines are dogs on the bottom but have top end that goes on forever. Sweet. 😉
Any car that runs and drives for $600 is a steal! Looks like another fun project. And its ready for that 440-6 that I know you're going to put in it! ;-)
beautiful car had a 76 charger same body style
My Canadian cousin loaned me one of these for a couple of weeks in Ontario in 1986 (or thereabouts), I loved it.
This is awesome! Reminds me a lot of my 76 Two Door Ford LTD I had. Same color too! I miss that car!!
My stepdad had a green one that you started with a spoon lol😂👍👍
HA! Love it! After I blew up my nova in high school,1990. I only had enough money for my neighbors cherry 73 Mercury Montego. 19 and a half feet of pea green paint and forest green vinyl with a 351 Windsor. Man that car was fun!
I want one of those now.
car looks amazing! love it!
Cordobas are cool... My uncle had one when I was young that thing would move for a boat ... Good pick man, love it !
You should take it to the drag strip stock and see what it has then take it to the drag strip when it is done
intake, carb, and get a hughes whiplash cam to put in it. should run very hard. or you could turbo it.
My aunt and uncle bought one brand new. It was dark green with tan guts. I can still smell the corintian leather and remember how comfy the over stuffed back seat was to click off the miles on a road trip. I think it is still at my cousins shop.
Great find! Keep at this one!
Perfect car for the ratty Muscle Cars Cruise, big block power and a rough-mean look. Great purchase for the price too, it just needs the right cam, dual exhaust and maybe a rear gear change and it'll be plenty fast for a big car. I have a 71 Fury with a 400 2 barrel and a 3.73 rear gear and its vey fast for a 4200 pound stock 2 barrel car.
With the kickdown properly adjusted it goes about 85MPH in second gear in drive lol.
ImpactJunky If I had enough time to get it together I would love to take it to that.
Your speedometer is prolly reading wrong after the rear end change... 85 MPH would be 7,000 RPMs... which your stock engine isn't doing...
@BuzzLOLOL It came with that gear. Did you not see where my message said it was stock? And every stock big block Mopar I've ever driven quit pulling/valve float at around 6000-6500 rpm so good job making yourself look like a real expert there Mr. know it all. I can see you obviously don't have a very good grasp of how tall/wide the gearing is in a 727 either.
BuzzLOLOL 85 MPH with 3.73:1 rear gear in a car with out an over drive or 1.00:1 top gear is a little over or under 4000 RPM depending on tire height. If you ever actually built a car you would know that.
1400, you can't read, he said "second gear"... I'm an automotive engineer... I also have a Suzuki Intruder (now called a Boulevard)... candy apple red...
why bother ditching the a/c? in a car that weighs over 4,000 the savings won't make a bit of difference.
Ecosse57 Because pieces of it have been removed, and the belts on these cars are so long that that slip even if they’re new.
It makes a big difference. Those old A/C compressors waste 30HP+
He setting it up to race. He wants it to look like an old beater that can kick butt.
2nd car I've ever owned was a 79' Cordoba! The big green barge ran down the road like a dream and had the power to smoke most of the competition! God I loved that car.
Keep up the good work, Dylan! Love your videos (and the cars even more!) Regards from Belgium!
