If I were a Chrysler guy and was into Newports and New Yorkers I'd buy this in an instant.

Everything about this ride is pretty sweet!

Looks to be all there and in good shape. I'd be afraid to sit on the Aztec pattern seats for fear of tearing them!

Thank you @67newport for letting us know about CE43L0C270128. Here is a link to the FB ad, and a reoriented tag. With a scheduled build date of July 17, this has gotta be one of the last 1970 Cordobas built.

The A95 code indicates a "Spring Special" (aka Cordoba in the Newport case) as per this post by @69CoronetRT (details of the Cordoba motif are in this post by @marty mopar and discussed in this thread, among others). Here are photos from the PA ad:

I like it a lot as well, even if $15k for a 4dr hardtop with almost no option (save for the R23 radio and B41 power disc brakes) might seem a bit steep. Values (as they were perceived in 2018) were discussed in this thread for another 4dr hardtop Cordoba. This car looks rust-free though (cue the trunk pics below), and in superb condition overall. There cannot be many left, and the color/trim are just great.

Indeed, I wonder whether one of the seams on the driver's seat back is starting to give. Not sure how easy it would be to fix.

Really late build!

it's still for sale - 1970 Chrysler Newport Cordoba
asking price is now $10,000

 

[Samplingman]

Ah, if it only had AC.

 

[bigmoparjeff]

Is this the one that Tobias sold a while back?

Whenever I see a Chrysler with no A/C, I think Canada.

It's got the latest style PA antique tag on it, so I doubt that the seller has owned it all that long.

I bought this car.

I bought this car.

Could you tell us more about it - i.e. is it everything it was said to be, how long have you had it now, etc.

Thanks

Yes. Sorry, I got cancer and had to have it removed and Chemo for 6 months.
The car is very nice, bought it last July. 95% original. Drove it home from Pittsburgh PA to Rochester NY (6 hours). The previous owner tried a million things to tune-out a surging problem at about 1/4 throttle. Turns out the vacuum lines were too big and were leaking. Runs great now.

Everything works except the passenger rear door does not open from the outside. Even the radio with the floor mounted station seek button works fine. I'm very happy with the car so far.

I'll bet that vinyl top materials is absolutely impossible to find. That really is a great looking car!

Glad you like the car, hopefully your cancer is whipped, on a permanent basis!

I thought there was a twin Cordoba that shows up at Mopar’s in the park at Stillwater MN. The top grain is amazing. But seems to be a little different and 2-door

Edit…
Maybe I am thinking of another car. This seems to be. Plymouth

Ummm, that's a Gran Coupe. And that's paisley.
Spend more time at JoAnn Fabrics to learn your patterns!

That's a 70 Fury Gran Coupe. My 71 has the same top material and it is amazing. Somehow it sparkles in the sun. As far as I know the vinyl is original. Chrysler were trying some adventurous themes at that time!

 

[HWYCRZR]

There was a Cordoba there too. I must not have taken pictures. In the end it’s all just a bunch of swirls.

We had Mod Tops, the Cordoba Aztec, Gator Tops, Satellite Sebring Sundancers, Hang 10 Darts, Bengal Chargers, St Louis Blues Barracudas (those 2 technically not factory things, though) - and more things I can't regurgitate right now.
I'm not a GM or Ford expert, but I haven't really come across lots of things in those camps.
