Finally got myself another Cordoba. Lean-burn 360 2bbl. UNDERCOATED!!!! This thing is CLEAN! It came with a ton of parts and I already had a ton of parts from parting out my green car that got wrecked.
The Pile of parts...


The Interior is pretty nice...







Pics from the day I went to get it down in Taylorville,IL. As it sat when I pulled up...



On the trailer headed home...



Finally home it had been raining on and off all day...





The plan is to make a Fast,Cool, Reliable weekend toy. Drive to the track, run 13s all night and drive it home. I know making a Cordoba fast is going to be a task,but I like to be different.

This is a quick picture of what I kinda want to do until I can afford to repaint the entire car...



So far I havent gotten too much done, but it made it look ALOT better then when I Brought it home.


Pictures with its new friend...



- I Removed and refilled the seam where the 1/4 meets to roof. It was all cracked.

Before:


After:



-I Painted the top white where the Vinyl Top was, and will be again sometime soon.
-Put on different rims/tires with Dog Dish caps.


-I Cleaned up under the hood.
Before:

After:

-Removed the oxidation from the paint on the sides/trunk lid.

The left side of the deck lid is before and the right side is after....


I Started polishing up some of the trim....





Hopefully Before the snow starts to fly I'll have it all tuned up and converted to regular electronic ignition so I can drive it for a few weeks before I have my Ramcharger ready to roll for winter.


I think I'm going to build a 408 Stroker for it, but also a built 440 sounds good too. For now Ill just add quick bolt ons to the stock 360 and cruise it while I build a stout driveline on the side.

Its been a while since I updated this... it now has a '72 340 built up to around 400hp. I swapped in an 8 3/4 with a 3:91 sure grip. I had the factory springs re-arched and had a leaf added. Ditched all the rubber isolator pads, still gotta get the aluminum ones for the t bar x-member and k-frame.Also looking for a non lock-up 904 to get rebuilt, my factory trans isnt doing to hot behind the 340.I plan on running a 3000 stall. Its pretty quick. Still dialing a few things in hope to have it at test n tune pretty soon.
