Very nice 79. Great example of how the once exclusive NY Salon wheels use were expanded in 79.
 
A nice looking car overall. I myself do prefer the round head lights although I could learn to live with square if need be.
 
As my name suggests these are my first love. Have had 8 of them in my life and still have my first Doba all were 78-79’s and a few 81/82’s thrown in for good measure. This is a great example of the car thanks for posting!
 
1977, best of the round era because of the tailights.

1979, best of the square because the '78 grille was ugly.

This car DNF because red interior.
 
The round headlights in the prior years were a turnoff for me - kind of like early Jaguars and their puckered up looking sourness.

While I like this square, stacked headlights 1979 Cordoba much better, I still preferred the Magnums a bit more overall. I had ordered a B9 blue 1979 Magnum as our company lab car when I worked for them back then, with a matching blue corduroy interior like this Cordoba. It was one of my favorite cars ever - it even had the optional suspension package and the 360-4 bbl engine.

Kind of like this one (but with factory wheels like the 1979 Cordoba has in the listing above):

Like Dobalovr I also liked the circa 81s too, but they weren't quite up to the quality of materials in the interior of these earlier ones. But they handled and looked great too.
 
I like the Magnum listed above. I believe the roof is a crank operated roof. Cordobas

are nice but if available a Magnum is my preference. I drove a '79 GT in 1980-1983. It took thirty years plus to find another one with the "Trifecta" G.T package, T-tops and E-58 Police package engine and suspension. Here is my car before the door edge guard was removed. The car will be repainted this Spring removing the add on vinyl roof.
