Anyone here have one of these? Or some of the convertable custom F bodies? I only ever saw 1 convertable 77 volare listed in Hemmings years ago. Some real crazy dude near me had a 6 wheeled f body wagon a few years ago (williamstown NJ) if anyone bought that from him?
Love a good custom

im not sure what to think about that. ive never seen or heard of such an animal, but then again , i had never seen a convertible 77 cordoba until just a while back. but they exist, through a company called Emmit Coachworks.

The Request Lines Are Now Open

Super, I know I speak for a great many convertable lovers when I ask that you reshoot that picture in more comfortable weather conditions.....like a summer day in the high 90's.



Oh geez, almost forgot, please make sure that young lady dresses for conditions.

But then, that's me, always worried about others.............................

lol , i think you are right , they are almost bigger than her head

Is that your Cordoba super? How many where made that you know of?

no , its not. ive owned a few dobas and just finished rebuilding a 77 charger to a modified state, so in my travels i have been doing research and i came across a couple doba verts that i thought never existed. as far as i can tell, there were approx 200 that were shipped to emmits coachworks to be "converted" herea couple pics of my charger and another doba vert

sorry for the threadjack :happy1:

So when the big 3 (including ma mopar) decided to not make convertables in the mid 70's, where who and how did these come from besides emmit's? A guy used to come into my station (Gas & wash) with an Aspen 76 or 77 with a ragtop. I thought it looked odd and when he finally asked about my Volare, I asked him what gives with his Aspen. The car had something happen that had the roof cut off. Someone took a top from a late 60s mustang and grafted it on the Aspen. Oh, it had a super6 2BBL and 4Spd OD too. I also came across a few convertable Volares in Hemmings motor news about 10 years ago.

im not aware of any other companies, but i havent done any real digging. i would love to see a pic of an actual drop top 77 volare or aspen (think RR or R/T...... super coupe ?) , that would be very interesting !
