R.I.P. Ricardo!

Here's the daily driver!

 

1978 CHRYSLER Cordoba

 

Dubbed by my friends as "THE BEAST "

The car originally came from Santa Ana, California.  It was purchased in March of 1977.  It's original owner spent well over $3,000 on the options for the car alone, in addition to just buying the car itself.

The car came from the factory with tinted windows.  They're in excellent shape.  No issues at all.

It sits a little low in the back right now, but I'll fix that problem in the spring time.  One lesson I learned from the Aspen... adjustable air shocks are awesome!

After getting this car, many of my friends and teachers have dubbed me "Ricardo Montalbon".  A lot of people don't seem to get what they're talking about though.  If you don't know who he is and you own a Cordoba, shame on you!

This car will not be recieving any major modifications in the near future.  The only thing in this cars future for now is adjustable air shocks, a dual exhaust, synthetic oil conversion, and cutting out the catalytic converters.  Make it ride well, sound well, and be as efficient as possible.

 

But for now, I'll just lean back, and enjoy the rich Corinthian leather.

After finally changing the oil for the first time, this 33,400 mile 360+4bbl is running beautifully on all the original componets. 




I don't know what people keep saying to me about regular oil, you know it's cheaper and everything... but if you want QUALITY oil that will make your engine purr like a kitten, SYNTHETIC ALL THE WAY!

well believe it or not it was easier than you think..first of all buy a good universal 4x6 h4 headlight kit from ebay they run about 30 dollars and they come with a special hole that you can replace that bulb and add a led bulb(so that can come on with your park lights if you wire it to them) and then with the h4 bulb it has 3male prongs just like a sealed beam but the actual cordoba socket (which is just 3 female sockets connected by plastic) has to seperated from each other because on the back of the h4 bulb the ground is on the left not on the bottom like the old american sealed beams so just switch those around..because if you just plug it in your high beams and low beams will stay on! buy some luminic h4 kryptons for 30 and plug it in and it looks like mine or you can buy the full hid kit with the ballast for like 80 dollars on ebay and it would also look like mine but take more work to wire so i suggest doing the h4 conversion and getting some luminic krypton h4s because when i converted mine to real hid it looked exactly the same!
