1976 fine corinthian leather stocker
 

A former neighbor tracked me done wanting to sell his '76 Cordoba 360/4BBL. Looked it up as a natural N/SA. At about 4200 lbs. with driver, is this only a lead sled? My '80 Aspen runs the same class with a 318/4BBL.

The 360 @ 270 HP is identical to 360 engines in Aspen@ 289.
19 less HP is a bunch! The car would be easy to build! I had one
for several years and just never got around to building it.

A Cordoba race car!?! Ricardo Montalban will be whirling in his grave! You gotta do it...

A agree!

I was searching the web for pics of a Cordoba race car and this was one of the hits.

My retinas will never recover.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :D

I have the choice of doing a Super 6 in an F body or this J body. I am leaning towards the Cordoba but I can't find a CalTrac set up for it. Tried all the other rear suspension fixes on my F body and only the CalTrac does the best job.

I just found some Mopar documentation that 50 of that modified Cordoba were released to the public in 2013 with a V 10.

The title of this post made me smile ear to ear.... I can remember hearing that commercial like it was yesterday.... I was just a young pup and remember the 'fantasy island' guy saying that and I was like, "wow I want Corinthian leather in my car when I grow up"... Im still giggling now typing this... tooo funny...
Now for the record, I would have sworn it was actually "Rich Corinthian leather"....
But a quick search showed both of us wrong, House of Darts... It was "Soft Corinthian Leather"...... LOL

By the way, the search also uncovered this wonderful tidbit about Corinthian Leather:
Despite the exotic origin suggested by the name "Corinthian leather", much of the leather used in Chrysler vehicles during the era originated from a supplier located outside Newark, New Jersey.[4]


Can you imagine if they told the truth in the commercial: "Low Bid, Essex County New Jersey, Leather Alternative Seats" :D

Anyway.. too much fun.. Clever Post title, House of darts, thanks for the cheer-up.

Nope, that is a rare Super Drag Pack Mirada, W2 heads on a 360, forged crank, two TQ carbs, rated at 200 HP. It had the famous Chrysler Turboencabulator transmission with Marsel vanes. They secretly made 501 of them, just uncovered in a warehouse south of the Belvidere plant in Illinois. I have the documentation from Tom Hoover. I discovered it hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar in Burbank, CA.

There's plenty of bars in that area that have "exotic" dancers. Why couldn't the same area supply "exotic" Corinthian leather? :-)

This was a bracket car at a Mopar race I saw last year. Kinda did a double-take!

Funny, someone at Bowling Green was just daydreaming about building one...

They will make or match the springs and bars for you at CalTrac.
John has most stuff available if you give him dimensions.
Some of the best people in the industry! We have never been
disappointed in over a dozen applications!
