    1978/79

    i say we Doba'l our efforts. Him what can add to the total Doba's owned, along with the other Him, makes us all richer. As in, Rich Corinthean leather... although every 'Doba i owned actually had cloth seats. Or vinyl. Where the frig is Corinthea, anyway?

    1978/79

    i found a 3-spd '62 Newport myself, but it's been in the woods for almost 2 decades and is basically TOAST. Bloody shame. At any rate, as to the Cordoba... i have a soft spot for those things, i've owned 7 Cordobas in my life. The '78 is my absolute favourite. Inner fenders from any model...

    1977 Newport with a vapor lock and/or boiling fuel in carb problem

    This may sound stupid, but i'm gonna say it anyway... Big-blocks have a valley-pan gasket, and subsequently an airspace between the cam galley and the bottom of the intake. This caused, in the late 60s and early 70s, the common problem of vapor-lock, particularly in police models, which led to...
