zeitgeist57 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks, guys. Been driving it the entire weekend. It's been a truly unique experience; the world just looks different when you're staring down a huge hood with fins on either side. It gets a ton of looks...took it downtown with the wife and some couples Saturday night for dinner and drinks, and the selfies by the ladies was a bit much in the backseat. Glad it makes people smile! Mechanically it's very sound: you really can tell when a car was garaged it's whole life. There are a couple of rust spots but a bunch of car buddies have been looking over this thing and it's solidity is impressive. Steering is super sloppy but a $16 rag joint will fix that. One of the brake rotors is warped but for $100 I can replace all 4 rotors and add semi-metallic pads. A/C is weak, and vacuum cruise control is dead but I'll go through and see if they are easy fixes. I'm going to try to clean out the garage and park it in there for the winter. Otherwise, it's going under an outdoor cover in bad weather. My simple-car, cheap-arse lifestyle loves the throwback this car gives me and other people, yet it's so cheap and easy to wrench on. Full disclosure: wifey let me buy it provided I try to fix a couple of items and sell her in the spring for a profit. Will entertain offers before I sell it to some cruise-in types for $5k.

cstmg8 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 DD'ing it this week? Maybe when you are bored with it, you can supercharge it with a leaf blower that you have laying around.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 well if the wife doesn't come around to the purchase, you can always stuff her and all her friends in the trunk. i mean that in the most 'non-creepy' way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Oh sorry I thought this was Columbus Racing. I must have clicked on groceghettosleds.com it probably weighs the same as your car. no lose situation, if you don't like it, and got a very good deal, you can actually advertise it and sell it for a profit.

ImUrOBGYN Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hell yeah I'd rock it but I'm a little fucked up like that. Three are a lot of 80's era cars that could be pretty cool with a little bit of work and cleaning up. Hell I'd still love to find a 78 cordoba like my dad had when I was a kid. Nothing like floating down the road at 80 mph in perfect comfort, and don't get me started on the cushy couch like interiors of the day. I had a gold Cordoba for awhile. Gold interior, too. lol Big ass gold cordoba coin hood ornament. Fucking thing was pimp. :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
