Description for Chrysler 300 Series 1979

The 1979 Chrysler 300 Cordoba Special Edition was a one-year-only special that Chrysler marketed during some of the company's worst financial times. The Cordoba had been out since 1975 and was a big success for the company. selling nearly 150. 00 per year. It was similar to the Monte Carlo and Grand Prix that General Motors sold in those times of a 'personal luxury car'. Big. heavy. V-8 cars with a nice ride and an appetite for lots of gasoline. The 300 was put together with all the high performance parts that Chrysler had in their parts bins for the police cars. It had heavy duty suspension. the largest performance engine at the time. a 360 cubic inch. high performance. 4 barrel carbed affair from the famed Little Red Express truck and the police cars. I had a fairly low-geared rear axle ratio of 3. 21:l for a little more performance at the expense of gas mileage. Even the transmission was heavy-duty. so it shifted a little harder and you could hold your foot on the gas pedal longer in each gear. There were 300 badges and decals all over the car. including the inside red interior with a fancy metal-turned look instrument cluster featuring a tachometer along with all the other instruments. All the cars got the red leather interior with a console mounted shifter. Was it a good car? Indeed it was. and they are now considered 'collectible' and the values are rising. It started and ran and drove well. very much like its sister cars. was a little quicker. rode a little rougher and of course. the above-mentioned like for gasoline in larger quantities. With 70. 00 miles this 300 has been very well cared for over the years. the exterior of the car is finished in its original white paint in very good condition with the exception of a few touch ups on the passenger door. The original white paint has held up very well over the years and still has its original red and blue stripes around the car. the lower stainless is in good condition as well as the front and rear bumpers. The cars all original sheet metal and has zero rust issues including the floors as seen in the photos . Original wheels are still in the car with white wall tires being on the inside it is missing the front left center cap. All glass is original and not blemed. The interior of the car is 100% stock. the leather interior is in very good condition with the exception of the passenger outer top of the seat have having a small tear. The dash has a small split and so does the driver door arm rest. All gauges light signals and horn where are working and the cars equipped with an optional factory 8 track radio and working Ac that just need a shot of Freon to get it cold. This 300 runs very well having always been cared for. the car runs cool. shifts nicely through all the gears. brakes and suspension also are in good working condition.
