Fully 82% of you felt that the $8,995 Cadillac Cimarron was priced way too high, so we're going to make the choice more challenging this time. What would you say to a 70,000-mile, extremely original 1977 Chrysler Cordoba with all the options, Soft Corinthian Leather, and "Coffee Sunfire Metallic" paint? Look at this car! Thing is, the price is $7,900. Your call! Thanks to Jordan for the tip.

Is it possible to have too many Cordoba posts? Never! After winning the 24 Hours Of LeMons SF '08 in an Integra, placing fifth at the '07 Arse-Freeze-A-Pa-Looza LeMons in a Sentra SE-R, and taking on a 24 Hours Of Le Mans team in a soapbox derby championship race, Krider Racing is now channeling Ricardo Montalban and campaigning a '76 Chrysler Cordoba demolition derby car! They competed in the California State Demolition Derby Championship last month; make the jump to see all the photos and read the latest KR adventures. galleryPost('KriderCordobaHoonage', 3, 'Krider Racing Brings Corinthian Leather To Demolition Derby'); No, this skip loader ripping on the front bumper of this Chrysler Cordoba is the not the “People’s Curse” from the 24 Hours of LeMons. However, this is Krider Racing, the 24 Hours of LeMons Altamont 2008 Champions getting some “People’s Assistance” on their Destruction Derby car.

After seeing the '78 Chrysler Cordoba in Alameda, reader John Mopar (probably not his real name) hipped us to this '77 Cordoba in Oakland , which is equipped with a Weiand high-rise intake and dual Holley 650s perched on a 400 engine. Hate those damn environmentalists, their strident demands that we stop destroying the world, and, in fact, everything they stand for ? Do you get brain bubbles of rage every time you see a Prius or pass a Whole Foods? Sure you do! Well, then, this car is for you! There's a certain amount of suspension of disbelief required here (we're pretty sure you'd never get a thumbs-up from a CHP officer for doing 120 in a Cordoba, and we're absolutely positive that this engine doesn't have anywhere near the 800 horsepower it would need to push a Cordoba to 180), but overall it's a pretty entertaining tirade. Is it meaner than the Death Proof Cordoba , though? galleryPost('HotRod77Cordoba', 3, 'Daddys Little Cruise Missile Makes...

Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. It had to happen, sooner or later; somewhere on the island, a Cordoba was waiting- soft Corinthian leather and all- for my camera. Now that day has arrived, with this '78 located in the 1950s-vintage part of the island landfilled into the Bay. Generally, houses in such neighborhoods have garages, which means the DOTS pickings are much slimmer than those in the neighborhoods full of houses built during the 1880-1910 period, but this Chrysler still lives outside after 30 years. First, we must watch the Ricardo Montalban ad that started it all. In Cordoba, I have what I need! Plastic "gold" Cordoba medallions may be found all over this fine personal luxury automobile. Weighing in at a portly 4,021 pounds and motivated by a thirsty 318 or 360, the Cordoba wasn't quite the ideal machine for a time of fuel-price insecurity. By '78...

It's got a 360. It's got glasspacks. It's got dogdish hubcaps. It's got a huge skull painted on the hood. In other words, it's fully optioned! This is the car designed for Ricardo Montalban's evil twin brother, Raul, who was serving 10-to-20 for manslaughter in a Madrid jail cell while Ricardo pitched the nice Cordobas. Those of you still shopping for a car for the Toledo 24 Hours of LeMons race, take note: this '78 Cordoba is for sale for an asking price of 500 bucks and it's just a few hours' drive from the track! Thanks to 1300CCsofFury for the tip. [ Craigslist Chicago , go here if the ad disappears]

Since we've officially declared today to be International Corinthian Leather Day and all, we should probably hear from Señor Montalban himself. Here he is explaining to David Letterman just what's the deal with the Cordoba 's super-special hides.

newVideoPlayer("ChryslerCordoba_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We make a lot of Chrysler Cordoba / Corinthian Leather jokes around here, but it occurs to us that perhaps some of our younger readers have never experienced the 1975 Cordoba ad that started it all...

Looks like Canada beats Italy in yesterday's Project Car Hell poll , though not by what we'd call a decisive margin. But that was yesterday, with yesterday's priorities; today we're going to honor Jalopnik Pimp Week by posing a Pimpmobile Dilemma for...
