Cordoba 1976

I had a 1987 Mercedes 560SEL that still needed a whole lot of work to restore. Then I saw this car for sale on a dealer's lot. I managed to dump the Mercedes in a trade for it. Great deal, I love this Cordoba. It was stored since about 1988. Everything was still original, including the polysteel radial spare tire. Other than the AC, which needs charging, everything works, including the cruise control.

I removed the lean burn computer and put in a conventional vacuum advance distributor first thing. It ran much better, Then a 600cfm Edelbrock went on it with new dual exhaust system. Now it runs perfect. Luckily, this car was built in Canada, so it never had a catalytic converter. All fluids have been changed and a new radiator installed. The Corinthian leather is in good shape, but one button is missing on the driver's seat. The interior is beautiful.
