1977 Chrysler Cordoba review from North America
"Great classic styling, soon to be rare!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major complaints other than the Thermo-quad carb. Hard to tune and not cheap to feed. Mystery oil leak. The transmission is starting to have "morning sickness". Worn steering gear.
General comments?
For a heavy car, my 77 'doba handles and rides very well. Dual sway bars help it stay on the road, where other large cars buck and wallow in the curves. The 400 V-8 pushes it down the road with ease.
It is well appointed inside, and 98% of the interior is original. Dash is easy to read, well lit and ergonomic.
