Me too. Such great styling and I know people want to knock later 70's smog cars but these are great looking cars, ride nice, and at least still have a smooth V8, RWD, solid rear axle, and t-bar front suspension. I love these things!


Facts are stubborn things.

Being someone who likes to be different, I've had in mind that if I could find a unusual car that would be comfortable for longer trips at highway speeds, and that wasn't a high dollar Mopar, I would buy it to replace my '09.
I narrowed it down to a Magnum, Cordoba or '79 300. And it had to have T Tops (or T bar roof as Mopar called them). Anyway, my friend was buying a car from a collector last spring and spotted this one in his collection. He didn't want to sell at the time, but a few months ago asked if I was still interested. I flew out to check it out, had to have it, and had Rhinodart haul it home for me. I had to put it directly into storage as I needed to sell my '09 to make room for it in my garage. I wasn't having any luck so recently put the '09 in storage and brought my new one home. Last weekend the weather was really nice so a local cruise organizer scheduled a late season cruise, which gave me a chance to take it out once this year at least. Drives great and people at the cruise loved seeing it. drive
Now I'm a B Body fanatic too. grin


Great score!

Magnums always put me in mind of a Cord 810/812.

Welcome to the world of late B bodies Master!!

I've known of yours for some time. It's nice and I had the opportunity to buy it years back but didn't have the funds at the time.

I like the black one too wink
