ColinValentim’s 1977 Chrysler Cordoba

Well I have about 4 more weeks left in the season before it will be time to put the "Mobydoba" up for the winter.  Gonna be busy this winter though, don't think I will have the time to get the 440 built so I am just adding headers and an EFI setup to the 360, Upholstery for the front seats and a dash pad, to get her looking respectable.  Then it's off to NC in June 2014.  Will be driving from the house in central BC, Canada to Charlotte, NC to long haul back on the 20th anniversary of the HOT ROD Power Tour.  Anybody else up for that trip?

Back from HOT ROD Power Tour 2014. This was so much fun and it is something I will do again. In the end it came in with 21 days, 29 fuel stops over 1 Canadian Province, 19 US States, and a total of 12,402 km or 7,656 miles. Mobydoba performed flawlessly and I never had to break out any of the parts I brought along for just in case, or worse yet needed to hitch a ride on a rollback.

Reinsured and ready to go. installed the front seats last weekend after getting them back from upholstery. getting some parts together and tuning everything up as it's now less than 2 months and I'm off on 3 weeks drive from BC to Charlotte / Concord to long haul the HRPT 2014.

One week after purchasing the car and driving it back up country from the coast, this is how she sat at the time before she went down for the winter.

How she sits now.  Photo's 06/07/2013 Otter Lake, Tulameen, BC.  Have started some interior work, but will get after it more when she goes down for the winter again.  I have added the 17" American Racing Vintage 70's, and the plug & play direct replacement Truck-lite 7" round LED headlights
