Xtra, Extra... read all about it.

PROVEN WRONG ?? WUT ? That means....

How the hell did I miss that ?!?! Sometimes I slide into an alternate universe. Thank you very much ! That car is awesome.

Damn !! you got a 440 cop car ? :xscuseless:

No idea what that first sentence is. Yes, it's correct for a 79. Fit, yes, but the wiring for the pump would not be there.

What is that ? Made of what ? By the way, I think the style with the W/S tank is only on 79, maybe 78 models ?

^^ Yes, that's what I was referring ! A nut on the front side of the rad support holds the battery hold-down !

Sometime around then... I worked on so many different cars, sometimes I actually think of something was on one brand of a car, when it was on a different car ! But, one thing was certain. I hated the big, ugly Ford bumpers.

Indeed. They didn't change the design until the 70's. There was a regular type hold-down, where the one end went straight to the rad support and bolted there. Also, the same configuration used with a thermo-guard.

Although in the 70's they started with one j-bolt to the tray and the other end of the hold-down straight across the top through the baffle of the rad support.

The Thermo-Guard was a plastic housing which covered the battery. Depending on the year, it may be different. For example, my 79 incorporates a W/S fluid resevoir.

The 79 300 I had years ago was one of the best cars I've ever had. One reason I got my look-alike today... which is again, a great reliable car even though it's not the performance model.

And not very economical at all. Worst car I ever had was a mid 70's Dart with a /6.

The downsized 80's Cordoba were available with the /6. I don't recall ever coming across a 70's Cordoba with that.

True, but it's like everything else, when a name gets attached to something, it becomes muddled with something else. It becomes a habit when you get another job, you called it what you're used to saying.

Don't recall a b-body Cordoba available with a /6. The lean-burns were a problem then. Mount a rudimentary computer-board above the engine heat.... duh !

My 79 300 I had probably 30 years ago was one of the BEST cars of many I've owned. My disco Doba in the 70's was a reliable car. And my current one I stumbled across on a whim, is a great highway car. We used to swap out the lean-burn in the garage back in the day. My current car still has all...

Had one back in the disco days, had a 300 years later. So, I came across this look-a-like a few years ago. This original unrestored car could take me coast-to-coast in comfort. I like it. But nobody would even pay 10 grand for it.

Why do you feel the need to replace them ?

My current 79 is the 3rd Cordoba I've owned, since the first one in the 70's. Since it's a garage kept survivor, it doesn't have the usual rot near the subframe, and rear floor/wheelhouses. I had a '79 300 years ago, one of the best cars I've ever owned. Outstanding ? I could drive this...
