I just saw a Cordoba. Yeah- the fine Corinthian leather Cordoba. It was bad ass.
Two tone, black and gold. Cragar Super Sport wheels, obviously some suspension work and the motor had at least a cam. Managed to pull next to the guy at a stop light- the car was immaculate. Gave him a thumbs up and rolled down the window to tell him how cool it was. He appreciated the gesture. Older guy- even older than me if you can believe it. Seemed to really be enjoying it. I would too. What a neat and different car.
Well played, Cordoba dude. Well played. I'm not a muscle car guy, but now I kinda want a muscle car Cordoba.
I don't think it was exactly this paint scheme, but similar.
It was that body style with the round headlights. The "classic" Cordoba.
Paint may have been more like this:
Similar vibe, but it was way cooler. Just executed better. And that pic is the later Motne-Carloba.
Anyone else think it's odd that Central Ohio's News Leader has a page on their web site inexplicably dedicated to a 1977 Cordoba?

In reply to fast_eddie_72:
I think it's odd that you responded to your original post twice and that you consider yourself "old".
Huh?
btw, just how old is 'old' ?
Now you're making out like it's weird to talk to yourself. I do it all the time!
I'm 45, and that's plenty old enough. But this dude had decades on me!
I wonder if you used google to find bing, and bing to find google, then typed in the same search again in each of them, would some cosmic/internet line be crossed like when the Ghostbusters crossed streams?
And why are you talking to yourself?
It's the only way he can get any intelligent conversation?

Oddly enough, I remember looking at Cordobas back when I was a teen. I wanted an old Mopar and those were cheap, late model cars (10 years old or so) at the time. Ended up with an '82 Subaru instead, but I thought about it.
Plus, since cars of the 70's are easily registered as classics now and thus are emissions exempt in many states, a lot of what made them problematic cars when new can be "fixed."
I stopped at a house a while back...just could not help myself...guy was outside washing his 1978 LTD II ... sitting next to it was a Dodge Magnum.
LTD was a wild metalflake red with white and gold factory stripes and Cragar SSs and a stance going on.
Magnum was lowered with wire wheels, heavy tint and silver paint job that got darker as it got closer to the ground.
Literally just stopped and walked up to tell the guy that he had nice cars.
Joked to my niece about the definition of the word "attractive".
