I like Magnums ( not really Chargers ) over any other lates 70s and 80s earliers USA car ( maybe with mids 80 Monte Carlo exception ), Luxury, kinda charming and "agressive" look and good optioned, like T top etc...

It just looks like a Cordoba to me.....I'm not a big fan of that body style....Just my own opinion though.

68  ugly?   I dunno...but my opinion is that '68  through '70 were the most beautiful cars ever made!!!   I just can't see someone saying that it would be ugly.    In my opinion...now  I stress highly...MY OPINION....I think that '66  and '67s  were ugly.  Third generation cars were beautiful as well.....75 and on....well....average.

First of all, a Cordoba is a "small" car?  What was big back in 77?  I had a '77 with a 400 (lean burn removed) in high school and that thing was a blast! didnt need gravel to get it to light em up!

You want big?  Climb into a 77 New Yorker.


OR a '75 Lincoln Continental. The ash trays are almost as big as some small kids shoe boxes, no kidding either.

 1975-1977 Chargers...Are you kidding me. YUCK. I think they look more like Monte Carlo's.  No thanks.

TylerCharger69

I agree...there's really nothing special about 75-77 Chargers.....Or those little '80's 2.2 versions for that matter.   '66-74  is where it's at!!!

I will admit I always secretly liked the front end of the 75-77 chargers.  It had that elegant/classic look to it.  I would own one.  I don't have any pictures but I agree lets have a toast to the 4 th gen charger.   :cheers:

Anyway opinions are like @$$holes, everyones got one and they all stink.  ;D  I think 2nd gen chargers look incredible, but that doesn't mean I can't think other cars look good just as good too.

If you have to look twice to see if it is a Charger or a Cordoba........maybe it isn't really a Charger.  They just couldn't come up with a name for them. If it wasn't for the second gens they would have not made any site for Chargers......my opinion :icon_smile_big: I would take a Dart or Valiant over the 75-77.
Try to get aftermarket parts........whoops .....there isn't any ......unless it is a multifit part. And for the compact Charger.....please!

You're right, '76 only. You could get the base Charger or a Charger Sport that were rebadged Furys. The Charger SE and Daytona were rebadged Cordobas.

One could do worse than a Charger Sport.  ::)

Building crap like that was why they ended up "out on a limb" (almost bankrupt)   

Ghoste

Actually, the Cordoba and crap like that probably helped them to hang on long enough for Iaccoca to come over.  The Cordoba sold quite well and the cheaper disco Charger went along for the ride.  Having 440 powered New Yorkers on dealers lots during the first Arab oil embargo (the same event introduced people to those friendly Japanese companies like Toyota and Honda) along with an incredibly bloated white collar staff at Highland Park had a lot more to do with going broke.

I had a 77 Cordoba. Black with red pinstripes, red corynthian leather, sunroof, 400 CID V8.....I loved that car. It was a great car. The only issue I had were the rear inside opera lights would get as hot as the sun going supernova. Had alot of friends burn themselves on that innocent looking lense.
