    Be a good start for a cop car clone. That's what I would do with it anyway.

    My father in law bought this back in 1979 and used it to pull a travel trailer around in the summer but the car was stored in a garage every winter.
    Translate it as "every winter it was getting a new lockup transmission from pulling that travel trailer every summer.
    .

    Looks good. I was wondering how big of a trailer it pulled.

    We family used to tow an 18' travel trailer with our '78 Cordoba. No problems.

    Default NICE!

    but I think I'd rather tow my 40' race car trailer with the 3/4 ton 4x4 i just bought. First 10' as living quarters on my gooseneck hitch. yours sounds nice, and I'd be in the market for it if I hadn't already bought trailers this year. BUT, if ya wanna sell it, let me know and I'll look in my area.

    ad says "former cop car" its also a BB car; 2 strikes against the probability of it having lockup; 78 was the 1st year they stared with that all cars didnt have it. My 318 powered 78 Sport fury doesn't! (mine was a very early build date of 9/77)
