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.
You are Correct Stan '78 was the last year of the 400 on the option list for Magnums.

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?
One of my (too many) dream cars. Pure lust!

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.

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....
