finaly back on the ground

last year i decided to replace the trans in the car .it turned into an exercize in doing the job 6 times chasing a major leak from the front seal .turns out that the flex plate (sfi rated plate) had to much run out . i got the trans and related parts from hughes trans in arizona. if you need to go this route these folks rock as far as customer service is concerned. turns out that the whole lot of plates were bad .it took about 3months to get it all strait but we worked together to resolve the issue . these folks do business the old fashion way they told me that they would back their product even out of waranty ,how can you beat that !

Good looking ride!

Very sharp looking car. If anything, the Cordoba LSs look sportier than the Miradas do.

thanks the photos make it look better than what it is paint wise. the car is rust free but the paint has more runs than a boat full of people with disentary !

hahahaha. Still a badass car. Does it have a console and V8?

I like the way you did the 10 spoke wheels.
I am going to do mine that way.

 

[tim berry]

No console but ill give that up for the e58 and the 727 and shure grip !

 

[tim berry]

The wheels came that way they do have a clear coat on them .they were added by the previous owner the center caps have the 79 300 logo on them they are my favorite wheel that any manufacture put on a car

The way they are blacked out, makes the spokes really stand out.
Mine just say Chrysler Corporation.

for your interest, cop car r-body speedo is a direct swap for cordoba speedometer and the same car can contribute its oil pressure gauge. I think if I remember right, the oil pressure gauge from a dodge van of the early 80's also will fit. This one I am not sure of.

 

[CMX360]

I was wondering if the oil gauge would work. I won a beautiful full R-body cop car cluster and bezel on ebay a few years ago for pocket change. The mileage was even almost the same as the car I'm going to use it in so a few quick spins gave me correct mileage. I don't like having a dummy light for something as important as oil pressure. Plus its much cooler looking.

 

[tim berry]

Do you have photos of that cluster

 

[CMX360]

Here it is. Another great part about it is that the gauges are the same style and color as an 82 Mirada as well (no red 55 or high beam light in the speedo). I have another R-body cluster thats completly different. It has different and larger font and theres a lot of orange coloring used.

Thats what they should have done to the M-Body Cop cars,
Instead of that tacky add on oil pressure guage.
