That we know of......LOL!
 
I owned one identical to this from 1981-1984 in Nightwatch Blue and Dove Grey vinyl buckets. It went very fast. I remember beating my friend in a drag race with his Aspen Super Coupe. I traded a guy for his 1967 Satelite 426 HEMI car. Both are long gone,but there are pictures around somewhere.......

I read somewhere that the 1979/1980 E58 360 was faster than a 1978 440 C-Body.
 
Oh, yeah, I wasnt paying attention to the year... of course. The reason why I say it, an acquaintance of my dads had a triple black Magnum with the 400. It was a great looking car

My grandmother on her walker was faster than a 1978 440 C-body. What was it down to that year. 185 hp?

The 1978 400 was rated at 190 hp and the 440 was rated at 195 hp.

I saw that car at the WPC Museum......super nice!
 
I've always favored the first gen cordobas (75-77). Have some great lines. Not to big on the paint scheme on the one above...

Very cool magnum though!! So many cars.. Too little $$
 
Years ago back in MI, at a car show. Saw a VERY nice magnum that left an impression on me. This one made me look at those body styles a little more. Never did find the owner that day... Only one I ever saw at the shows.



 
I know this is not a Doba'...but....what the hell, a far off relative?? Anything nice to say about Ol' Blues Imperial???? Kinda partial to them myself...esp. the fuel injected 318s.........nice angles...

I know I'll probably get flak for it, but to be clear, The 79 Cordoba/ Magnum were R bodies...I know that the sheet metal was the same on the outside, but underneath the 79 Cordoba was just like a 79 Newport/ NY/ St regis etc. A little known Mopar fact was that the B body was discontinued in 78.
 
I know I'll probably get flak for it, but..
Why would anybody give you flak for that? I always took it as common knowledge.
BUT, then again, too many people call a 64 Chrysler a C-body....
