    I was hemming and hawing until I got to the, ".....opera lights and opera windows,...." part, and then I was sold! NP! And thanks Graverobber, for an entertaining read and a great post!

    Beautiful, and smog-exempt in California (Surely a Viper V10 would fit under that huge hood...). Nice price!

    I voted NP by a hair. The early Cordoba is one of my favorite malaise machines. I think the styling has aged exceptionally well. It bothers me a lot that the till on this sweet barge is not original, but the wheels have me thinking, "maybe this is the low-rider I should build some day" (I've always wanted to indulge that guilty pleasure).

    Not a bad price at all for this boat. Sure, I'd massage the engine and suspension and install duals, losing the catalytic converter (no emissions here in the sticks). Turn it into a road beast. You could cover some miles in this thing. In fact, a good road trip next year would be to the Concours De Lemons to enter this.

    @CptSevere: There was a white one over in Benson that drove around for years with a "For Sale" sign in the back-window that eventually faded to almost the same color as the car.

    Egads. I misread the lead-in as "Klan Endorsed" and the all-white car unfortunately did nothing to dispel it at first glance (SKI doth not have the brain-kickstartability of Brefass Scotch, apparently). Might consider changing the headline...

    I love how this car is a blatant stirpot of every other automakers' faux-lux cliches of the era. Rolls grille, chrome-louver markers, round headlights on a box front, opera windows, coach lamps, inset taillights... and yet somehow manages to pull it off.

    The asking price is in line with other well-preserved luxo-barges of the era. Not a bargain, but not obscene... its relative obscurity and infamy compared to other more popular badges of the time might even be worth a small premium to certain buyers.

    Nice Price.

    I'm going to say "nice" but this guy left out the mileage--what's "low mileage" in a car that's 35 years old?! If it's "low" why not disclose it as a selling point? Because "low" here probably means "low six figures." And he's also a Craig's List a-hole who posts way more than 4 pix.
    For 5 large you might be able to buy that house for sale across the street in the pix but the Cordoba probably has more square footage and a much nicer interior!.

    These things are all sorts bad ass. Its a reminder of why the Ford Tempo rocked to #5 best seller in its first year on sale.

    That's a big comfy car in good shape with plenty of room to put something more useful under the hood. Its price is a little high, but this will be my first nice price in a while.

    I'd buy it just so my sister could relive the burgundy over burgundy '78 lean-burn 318 she had.

    I give her a hard time about that car to this day, and she had it back in the late-80's.

    This, everyone, is when a mid-size car was a MID-SIZE CAR.

    Actually, I prefer a Magnum, with the half-assed hidden headlights. I wonder how much space is left over after dropping a 6.4L hemi in it... Probably enough to store muy contraband while crossing the border...

    Nice 'Doba! This one is optioned right. Leather buckets with floor shift console, 360 small block option, and matching colour roof.

    This one looks really clean, and has nice wheels to boot.

    These are great cars to buy if you're looking to put together a Mopar muscle car without spending the big bucks on a '68-'72 B-body Charger.

    My '76 Charger shares most of its important dimensions with the earlier muscle cars, making parts swappability a breeze.

    No, my car won't fetch 6 figures at Barret-Jackson, but it'll lay the same strip of rubber at the local cruise-in.

    Horrible car with a plush interior and excellent marketing. Shows you how desperate times were back then, that sold many at all.

    I don't always drive Chryslers. But when I do, I drive a Cordoba. Drive thirsty, my friends.
