1983 Chrysler Cordoba Low Low Original Mileage on 2040-cars

Year:1983 Mileage:21396

Pottstown, Pennsylvania, United States

     Up for your bidding consideration is an extremely clean 1983 Cordoba.   As it has been stored indoors it's entire life, very lightly used and devoid of the calamities that usually befall a car of this era.  Some of you might recall seeing this car listed on ebay over the summer.  I was the high bidder on the car and at that time, the odometer was showing approx. 19,700 miles.  I've since put some 1600+ trouble free miles on her but sadly, a change in employment dictates it's sale.


      Sporting just 21,396 original milesthis handsome survivor has been treated to a number of preventative maintenance measures.  Though the fellow I had bought it from took very good care of the car, out of an abundance of caution, I performed the following before pressing it into service:

r&r trans fluid and filter                                 r&r rear brake shoes
r&r rear differential lube                                r&r brake hoses
r&r antifreeze                                                 r&r brake fluid
r&r thermostat                                                r&r suspension bushings
r&r radiator hoses                                           r&r shocks
r&r heater hoses                                              r&r air filter
r&r plug wires                                                  r&r headlights
r&r cap and rotor                                             r&r fuel filter
r&r all fan belts

   Of note, the battery was replaced on the day I picked it up.  The tires were original as well, but at 30 years old, they were coming apart at the seams, so they have since been replaced with a new set of BF Goodrich radial T/A's.  The stereo was also replaced with a Sony CD/MP3/USB unit and new rear speakers, which sound incredible.


    The interior is very nice with no rips or tears in the seats.   As you can imagine, with the low number of miles accumulated in all those years, the seats weren't sat in very much, so they've maintained their shape quite well.  The carpet shows little wear, the headliner is still attached to the roof, the gauges all work and the dash has no cracks. 


     The landau top is in excellent condition as is all of them chrome.  The power windows, power trunk release,  power door locks and cruise control all function as they should, as does all of the lighting.


    As with any car of this vintage, there are bound to be a few blemishes.  The original paint holds up very well, but there are several small stone chips and few scratches in the clear coat here and there, mostly on the trunk lid.  The right rear wheel well molding is scuffed and the plastic seat belt covers are cracked.  The heat does work, but is a little slow to come up.  The a/c was converted over to 134a by the previous owner.  When I bought the car it was working but needed a little boost.  I put a small can of refrigerant in it and brought it back up to snuff, but please bear in mind, it is a 30 year old system and may need another shot come springtime.


     Overall it is a very clean, easy to drive car with an amazing 21,396 original miles on the clock.  Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of 80's Chrysler history not involving a K car.  Act now and receive an autographed copy of Disco Inferno by the Trammps.  Disclaimer: Autographed by me that is, not the Trammps.

FCA and PSA sign merger agreement

Wed, Dec 18 2019

Confirming an earlier rumor, PSA Group and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) signed a binding merger agreement to create the world's fourth-largest automaker. The partners hope to leverage the benefits of economies of scale as they develop new technologies and expand their global presence. The announcement ends FCA's years-long search for a partner, which nearly ended earlier in 2019 when it came close to merging with Renault, PSA's rival. It brings Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and Opel/Vauxhall under the same roof. That's a huge portfolio of brands that often overlap, but executives pledged to keep them all open, as well as all their respective factories as a result of the transaction. They're committed to making this big family of automakers work by building on each one's strengths, whether they're technical or regional. FCA and PSA jointly predicted they'll sell about 8.7 million cars annually around the globe, while posting an ˆ11 billion (about $12.2 million) profit. North America, a strong market for FCA, will provide 43% of its revenues, and 46% will be generated in Europe, where Peugeot's brands are doing better than ever. Together, they plan to achieve ˆ3.7 billion (about $4.1 million) in annual run-rate synergies. They'll notably have the purchasing power to negotiate a better price with suppliers, and they'll merge their research and development efforts where it makes sense to do so. Over two thirds of the group's annual volume will be built on two shared platforms. One will underpin about three million small cars annually, and the other will serve as the foundation for approximately three million compact and mid-sized cars. Details about these architectures haven't been made public yet, but a quick look at both companies' product portfolios reveals the small car will very likely come from Peugeot. Recent additions to its range, like the second-generation 208, are built on a new architecture named Common Modular Platform (CMP) developed with electric powertrains in mind. Meanwhile, Fiat is still making the cheeky 500 on an evolution of the platform found under the second-generation Panda released in 2003. The bigger architecture could come from FCA, however. The group's brands will share engines, transmissions, electric powertrains, infotainment systems, various sensors used to power electronic driving aids, and other components like wiring looms, but each one will retain its own identity.

Chrysler 'at war' with world's largest Viper club?

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

The situation was bound to boil over at some point. Grumblings from former and current members of the Viper Club of America, and letters sent from Chrysler to VCA president Lee Stubberfield, allege that the non-profit club is being run illegally as a for-profit business, Jalopnik reports.
The trouble reportedly started in 2007, when VCA member and former club national president Chris Marshall is alleged to have taken a paid position at the club courtesy of the acting board members at the time. By 2010, with the demise of the Dodge Viper looming, the VCA reportedly made a deal with Chrysler to to acquire a stash of old parts and tooling for the Viper. The stash would then be sold by the newly formed Viper Parts of America, a company that was supposed to be run by Marshall, Jalopnik reports.
This sounds like shady business to us - at the very least a conflict of interest. And it's said that the VCA will not hesitate to suspend - for a year or more - the memberships of those who oppose it.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
