1975 Chrysler Cordoba - Mopar Muscle Car - 330+ Horsepower!
Description
Up for sale is my 1975 Chrysler Cordoba that has been converted from a mid 70s luxury cruiser into a powerful, lighter, no nonsense muscle car. The Cordoba shares its B Body platform with other Mopars such as the Charger and Road Runner, so the potential has always been there for the Cordoba to be a more performance oriented machine, and after a few years of ownership and work, I feel like this car has accomplished that.
However, the car is still excellent to drive on the streets thanks to the overdrive transmission that I installed. Unlike Chevys or Fords, the overdrive swap is not common on Mopars and the 46RH trans (727 torqueflite based) is capable of handling a ton of horsepower but was a lot of work to make fit correctly. Luckily for you, it is already installed and ready to go!
I have put a ton of work into this car, but I am ready for something new. Check out the list below for all of the details.

The car only has one flaw, and it is fairly minor. There is some rust in the passenger side trunk area. It will need a patch panel at some point but it is not into the frame rail at all and is away from the outside body. It is in a completely flat area so it will be very easy to fix.
As you can see, I have invested a ton of time and money into this car but it's time for someone else to enjoy it. It can easily be made however you want it. Body is straight, just needs a little bit of prep before painting it your choice of colors. Interior can be finished however you'd like. I was personally going to put in black carpet and some red bucket seats in the rear, but it would be easy to put it back to something a little more factory looking if that is how you want to go. The car is mechanically very reliable and in my 3 years of ownership I have never had to get a tow.
