1979 Chrysler Cordoba review from North America
"Best vehicles I have ever owned in both looks and performance!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In all of the years that I have had these two cars, I have had to do very little maintenance on them. Mostly wear and tear for being so old, but overall they have been more than fantastic!
I drove the 360 from Washington State to Minnesota, then from Minnesota to Texas, just to drive it all the way from Texas back to Minnesota, and I didn't have one problem the whole way! This was in the last two years it went all those miles.
Both of these vehicles are 1979's, and for the two of them I have spent less than 1,000 in parts and maintenance for BOTH since I bought them.
Great vehicles; would drive them forever if they can keep up!
I bought them both originally for $400.00 and would never give them up. Sorry guys, not even to save the world!
I will say that I did have a timing belt stretch in both of them, which is a common problem for these vehicles, but if you have a mechanical background, nearly everything besides an engine or transmission on these cars can be done for less than $100.00. CHEAP PARTS!
Best cars I have ever owned hands down! Chrysler deserves a cookie for making these luxurious beauties.
General comments?
Best vehicle I have ever owned. If you can find one you are one lucky soul. I was fortunate enough to get two of them, and would travel across the country if I knew someone was selling for cheap. I love to restore vehicles that deserve it :D.
