Our neighbor Herb bought his-and-hers versions of this car. One was silver with a burgundy half landau roof and burgundy interior, and the other was triple brown, just like this beast here. Both had 400CID v8s, but neither were outfitted with the famous corinthian leather - rather, the seats were shod in a soft solid color velour. He first sold the silver one to my grandmother in the early 1980s. A year or so later, she and a friend were riding to dinner when they were T-boned by a kid who ran a stop sign, and the silver Cordoba was no more. Fortunately it held up well enough that my grandmother and her friend escaped injury. The neighbor then sold the brown one to my grandmother, who drove it for a number of years. Eventually, she bought a new 1987 LeBaron (also with half landau) and sold the Cordoba to my dad. He drove it into the early '90s. By then, I had gotten my drivers license, and would occasionally take it out. The thing with my dad was, he tended to keep his machines long past their prime. I remember eliminating the lean burn and swapping in carburetor after carburetor from an inventory he kept in a black milk crate in the garage, until we found one it ran well enough with. Another thing about my dad; he ran an auto body at the time. He would swap out good tires on cars that were headed to the junkyard and put them on his cars. What this meant was that the tires were never quite the correct OEM size - they were usually bigger to the point of ridiculousness. I can report that outfitted with bigger tires, these things are like tanks, and will drive up curbs easier than a seed bump to a mere mortal car. Also, it was good for tying up a rope and pulling your friends around the snow in a plastic toboggan. Doba sledding, as it came to be known, was a fantastic winter pastime. \r\nWhen the trans finally went out on the beloved brown 'Doba, dad replaced that car with a white '81 Cordoba, a much smaller car with a slant 6 and blue velour seats that were the most comfortable barcalounger-like things I've ever encountered in a vehicle of any kind.

Bids should show up immediately, so for some reason yours did not go through. Regarding reserve prices - all BaT auctions have a reserve price unless the title of the auction says \"no reserve\". The reserve price is not announced although some sellers will comment during the auction if the reserve has been met. And if the final bid does not meet the reserve, BaT connects the high bidder with the seller to see if they can work out a deal.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1539438654, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2018-10-13 06:50:54+00"}, {"id": 2605305, "authorName": "ronstephenson", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ronstephenson/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "did you ever try to reach these people, like I tried?
