Hello, new to the forum....
I would like to introduce myself and my '78 Chrysler Cordoba both of which are based in the UK.
I have always wanted a large american car and last year I was in a position to buy one. I will always remember the day I collected my car since I had achieved something that I had always wanted to do and with the added bonus of doing it at the age of 24!
I will also remember driving the car for the fist time when I was collecting it and how it powered down the small country lanes on its own accourd since the choke was still active. A little bit terrifying with the driving position being different and oncoming traffic.... the oncoming bus was especially terrifying.
My Cordoba is pretty original (although missing the drivers side interior medallion) it has the very interesting carter thermoquad feeding the very smooth LA360 connected to a A727 3-speed transmission.
I don't know much about the car in its previous life living in the states. I have the last resident s address in California and what I think is the documents to a tag sticker?? maybe someone could tell me ways of finding out which states it has been registered in?
Since I have had the car not a lot has gone wrong although it is very interesting finding the normal service parts here in the UK for a car that was built 40 years ago. A person who rents a garage up the road from me acctually gave me a transmission filter and gasket... told you it was interesting...
The windscreen bush for 2 speed wiper motors has been a challenge but that is another post in itself.
