My grandfather had a 76, Brown with Tan interior and vinyl top.  Was no match for my aunt’s Cuda in a straight line but it was way more comfy..  He was a Mopar Man, retired from Ma Mopar after 30 years.  The Cordoba was his retirement car.

I noted in the video that he refers to it as a “Small Chrysler “.  That made me chuckle!!!

They were small “ish” compared to their earlier bredren..  This is what my Grandpa’s Cordoba replaced, 1972 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham. That thing had it’s own zip code.

Having spent many hours riding around with a friend in his 400 ci Cordoba, I can tell you they were absolutely faster than you’d expect. Not fast like a built Camaro, but fast compared to most of the emissions-laden junk we stop light raced in the 1980s. Remove the Lean Burn system and add some exhaust and a cam, and Bob’s your uncle.
