Chrysler Cordoba Reviews

Other than exhaust replacement and odds and ends things, my Cordoba is one of the best cars I ever owned. It rides as nice as any Thunderbird I owned, maybe a little better. It's a very comfortable car.

My Cordoba is a very comfortable riding and quiet car. The seats are like recliners, and it just cruises down the highway. It's an enjoyable and comfortable car, and it's something that car companies have forgotten.

Most everything except the internal engine parts and rear end at one time or another.

Carburetor (more than once).

Transmission.

Ball joints (more than once).

Tie rod ends.

K frame sagged making a proper alignment near the end difficult to impossible.

Air conditioning evaporator core.

I bought this car when I was young and dumb, spent large piles of money on repairs, totaled it while in the USN, re-built the car and drove it for several more years until it was totaled for a second and last time (last time was not my fault).

On the plus side the car was very fast (note the young and dumb comment above); while I was in the service in my late teens to early 20's I drove this car all over the country and rarely below 100 MPH, this car handled and rode at 100 MPH like most cars do at 60. Car also got amazingly good gas mileage at high speeds, 18 MPG was common on trips up to 750 miles at a stretch.

I did put a high performance front sway bar on the car soon after I bought it, which helped stability considerably. The car came from the factory with a rear sway bar.

Overall a very troublesome and expensive car to own, but very comfortable.

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.

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.
