1979 Chrysler Cordoba from North America - Comments

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.

Wow, a 318 AND a 360 with timing belts! Talk about rare! Congratulations on finding the only two Mopar V8 ohv engines that had timing belts! The Cordoba was nothing memorable but those engines are worth hanging onto!

No reason to be so sarcastic about the "timing belt" faux pas, the rest of his review was totally valid. My family still has the 1975 Charger (nameplate alternate of the Cordoba) that my dad bought new, and it's still one of the quietest, smoothest cars on the road. The 318 has a good chance of running practically forever.

I wouldn't say Cordoba's aren't memorable. When I mention my Cordoba to people they always recall the styling and the commercials. At the time Chrysler needed a high selling car and the Cordoba was it.
