You're bringing back memories. I drove my Cordoba through seventeen crappy winters, before it became a fair weather car. It never let me down, oh wait a minute, there was that issue of carburetor icing!

its lead a hard life but will still live on in spirit

Understood....it's good it will live on in parts and spirit.
I was never huge on Fifth's till I bought one.
After four years.....think it's been four...I love the thing now.
The flying brick.....most dependable ride I've ever had.
Actually I daily drove my Caravelle when I first got it for about two years
The only time it wouldn't start....it was just a corroded starter relay.
A quick scrub with some sandpaper I found buried in my trunk and I was on my way.....damn reliable cars.
