It looks like you missed out on the 1987 Diplomat. That (or any car with a 1987 or newer 318) would have been a good and easier/cheaper way to go. You would get a "better" engine (it would come with a roller cam and higher compression which means more power, although not as much power as you get...

I my experience, when you only get spark in "Run", but not "start" it is usually a problem with the ICM. First check the ground. If the ground is OK, it is time for a new one. Good luck getting it running and keeping the oil pressure. Someone on forcbodiesonly.com sells ICMs that he personally...

Have you seen this one. It's pretty far away, but it seems to "check all the boxes"! It's green, has a 400, floor shifter, round headlights... 1976 Chrysler Cordoba - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle... A few pics:

1979 Dodge Aspen R/T with T-Tops, located in Maine on CL. On 8/17/2020 asking $18,600 and has been listed for 27 days. Beautiful car. 1979 Dodge Aspen R/T - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive... And some pictures for posterity... Looks very clean and unmolested.

Hello all, I really appreciate the knowledge on this forum and in this thread. I am trying to install a late 90's radio/cd/cassette into my 1976 Cordoba. It fits perfectly and does not look too out-of-place. I have included a picture of the top of the radio. The "Speaker Connector" is pretty...

Thanks for the links. Exhaust manifolds from 5.2L Jeep GCs seem to be relatively cheap ($30 per side) and available. The 5.9L GC manifolds are very difficult to find. So I thought if there was an advantage to the 5.2L vs. the LA 360 manifolds (which I have) I would get the 5.2s and use them. It...

Bud W --- Do you have any idea how a 5.2 Magnum exhaust manifold (from a GC) compares to a 1976-78 360 LA exhaust manifold? Thanks, Tim

I want to swap a 5.2 magnum that was from a manual transmission truck into a 1976 Cordoba with a 904. Is it a matter of unbolting the pilot sleeve bearing and then bolting on a flex plate, or are the crankshafts different? Anything else that would make it more difficult than using an engine from...

Can a Magnum engine that came from a truck with a manual transmission be hooked up to an automatic transmission??? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking at a 1978 2-door. I am familiar with late B-bodies and know to check the trunk floor for rust, is that a problem with these cars?

Sorry for asking such a simple question... What are the areas to look out for on these cars? Are they like the F-bodies and the front frame rails? What about the trunk floor rusting? Or...? Thanks

Thanks everyone, I've learned something today!!

Looks really nice. No radiator shroud and my b-body 360s have the upper radiator hose connecting on the driver's side? Are FMJs different than Bs?

I know I am late to the party on this but.... the seller is universally despised on FCBO. there was even a posting (with a link to newspaper accounts) that the original owner (Lash) was arrested for something much more serious that shill bidding and hiding known problems ...

https://sca.auction/en/19159716-1979-chrysler-lebaron I just saw this posted on the FCBO site. I also saw this on "coparts" a couple of months ago. Great color and only minor damage. Is anybody close? Would love to see this go to a good home.
