Back in the day -early 1990s- I owned a 1979 Chrysler Cordoba. It was a great car in many ways. 225,000 miles on it and it still ran strong. The Mopar 318 engine was a classic and one of the best engines from that era. Push the throttle and wait about 1 second for the double barrel carburetor to kick in- then boom the car would take off again. This car had power and muscle. I contest that it was not a maintenance pig, my experience was that the car itself was reliable. The only work I did on it was a brake job, it was an easy car to work on. No computer and everything was easy to access.
The car looks better now than it did in the early 1990s. Great style.

How well the Chrysler of that era ran depended on which electronic ignition you had, if you had what they called "LEAN BURN" you were lucky if it ran let alone have any power from a stop.
that the workmanship on the Cordobas seemed to be better than the personal luxury coupes like the Charger and Satellite Sebring from a year or 2 before the Cordoba came out? I remember being really impressed , thinking that for once they were on par with the Monte Carlo and Ford Elite
really appeared that they were a real personal luxury car rather than one that TRIED to be
