Thanks for the memory. I bought one new in 77. It was sitting on a dealer lot and had been ordered by someone who cancelled because it took way to long to be delivered because he ordered the T-roof. It was the two tone blue, had NO A/C, but did have the blue vinyl buckets, tilt wheel and AM/FM. The dealer also had one on the showroom floor that was LOADED but had the split bench velour interior and I wasn't thrilled with the split bench, so I bought the other one. I have seen a few black and silver and yellow and golds sitting at other dealers, but none had the T-roof. One DID have the sunroof. I sold it when I was sent to Germany and car insurance in the early 80's was outrageous.

Despite all the crappy rust in all the corners she looks better than what I use as a daily driver. No joke intended. I think these Canadian Mopars were never rust proof from the factory. So you can't blame just neglection, humidity and road salt on it. If you do look close you can see one of the leaf spring mounts is crooked as was the towing hitch. I think she has had some trailer sliding or collision going on. Cause how else you bent the leaf spring clamp that bad. For what this car is it's actually one of the best starter package if you want a none tampered Mopar to restore. Always love the Mortske minute, these help me to understand what went on elsewhere behind the iron curtain. You should make a board of the oldest batteries you have come across, should be a fun one to put together. I do regret spending 2k on something else years ago...should have saved it up for this rig.

[@RandyKopis]

Actually, Mopar was in such disarray in the late 70s, they had tens of thousands of Aspens and Volares rusting away in port cities like Long Beach, before they even went to the dealers.

My dad paid the money , I turned the key, dead battery, we jumped it, and it started right up. I was 25 years old, now I'm 62. it turned out to be the best car i have ever owned!!!, it was like a rocket ship, with the 318 V-8 and rear axle gear ratio. it was like a 4 door charger!!I got many speeding tickets in that car it was blue, I remember back then you had to drive 55!!!! (stupid speed limit), the car was geared to cruise at 81, it purred like a kitten at those highway speeds. I could burn rubber and catch 2nd gear!!!!!!

My grandparents adopted me at age 3, and Grandma bought a brand new 1976 Dodge Charger SE. It was a beauty. Dove grey with that bordello red velour interior, buckets with console shifter, 360 4V. Man, I wanted that car! But they traded it in 1979 for a brand new New Yorker Fifth Avenue Edition with the 360 2V. That one is a beauty as well, and I do have that one here in my garage in SoCal thanks to them keeping it for me in a garage in Western PA for years and leaving it to me in their will. Both that 76 360 and the 79 360 had Lean Burn. It works fine until it doesn't. LOL. I still have it on my New Yorker, although it had failed at some point and someone (probably my uncle Ken, since he thought he knew about cars) had installed a supposed good used (but wrong) one from a junkyard. Well, when I got the car shipped across the country to me in 2014, it didn't run. I discovered that incorrect Lean Burn computer, and RockAuto actually had ONE correct rebuilt unit. I installed that, and she fired right up, runs beautifully to this day. That Lean Burn system can advance the ignition timing all the way up to 56 degrees advance! Crazy. But at 108k miles, it hasn't hurt that 360 one bit. And it gets more than 20 MPG on the highway, if you keep her under 65 and it's kinda flat. Anyway, rant over, and I do dig that Charger Daytona! Probably rare back in the day, and rarer than hen's teeth today! Thanks for getting into the Malaise Era, Mortske! Love it, man! Stay cool, brother!

There's a company that's called DUI who makes mopar big block electronic distributors that the top half is the exact same thing as the GM HEI distributors and they work great but if you have to run tall valve covers because of using roller rockers the distributor cap will hit the valve covers so most guys stick with the MSD distributor and brain box with the rpm chips that can change the rpm limits and the advance curves.

Wow yet another rare gem this week sir Mortske 🤠I think that auto fooler tube whistle is like a warning thing for deer🚘🦌 to be able to hear you car before they see it maybe possibly.Carry on your wayward sons there will be peace when you are done💯

[@anti7928]

That paint scheme is great..

[@larryd.214]

Thanks for another Monday morning adventure Mr. Mortske! As far as the late '70s go, this Daytona is kind of a cool car!

[@MortskeRepair]

You bet!

[@stucook8622]

The oil pumps on the left hand side of the block & its possible that the check ball & spring might be stuck so oil pressure is low and there's a cap you can unscrew to pull the spring & check ball out .To increase pressure just add a washer or 2 to put more pressure on the spring . Chrysler engines distributors can only go in one of 2 ways so if it doesn't start & run just flip the rotor the opposite direction and it should fire right up. Those 400 blocks make great stroker engines because the 400 has the largest bore of all the Mopar big blocks and a lot of guys are building 451 strokers out of them or 500 cube B block which is the 400 block stroked and they can make some serious power with the right parts . Check out Switzer racings B1 headed 400 big block stroker that makes over 1,000 HP at 10,000 rpms that uses a mostly stock 400 B block that's been machined for racing . If you can find a industrial 400 B engine those make even better stroker engines because the main webs for the blocks crank mains are thicker giving the block more strength without having to use cement or block filler that hardens to help strengthen the block more . The Chrysler engines can make huge power but the downside is they are never cheap to build compared to the Chevrolet or Ferds as I call them because parts are more expensive and to have any machining on them done for performance cost more as well being most machine shops are set up for the Chevrolet or Ferds. Check out a KZbin channel called Jim's automotive because it's a father son run machine shop who does engine machining and often fix engines that other machine shop would call unrepairable and junk .

Love when you can get the story!

The Dodge Daytona silhouette with the Super Bird wing on the thumbnail was choice!

[@FreedomRock44]

Loved Buddy Baker!!!

[@clintparkison9844]

The trip with the hotrod from Houston was a great idea. You need to find stuff in every corner of the country and road trip back with your best buddy duff. One a quarter hahaha

[@MortskeRepair]

Sounds great!

[@LeonardMagnusson]

thank you for the show. tant is a harsh word for that car.

[@eric1985elcamino]

I would highly recommend getting a ball siphon hose from your local parts store. They drain about 3-4 gallons a minute and contain the mess when transferring old fuel into a drain bucket or waste container. I use one at my shop all of the time for fuel contamination jobs and they’re great!

[@Apostrophe65]

I had a 1975 Charger SE with the full interior from a 1979 Chrysler Cordoba. I loved that car! Fix that car up a little and you'll have a lot of fun with it. To this day it's still my favorite road trip car.

[@glenbo2464]

Why didnt you stuff a rag in the tank hole so it didnt splash ? lol Those carb bodies like to crack sometimes also.

[@dougmcgee30]

That shirt is 80’s awesome! Pocket is for your smokes. This should be worn with a a contrasting color of nug hugging shorts and tall striped socks.

[@MortskeRepair]

Right on!

[@tylergreenfield6158]

Another Barrett Johnson ready piece. I have a 77 Cordoba and you are not kidding about how they just float down the road.

[@Hobodeluxe007]

I got all excited when I saw the video title and the blacked out thumbnail then when I realized it was one of the Cordoba models I was less excited. I am interested in the 1st gen Camaro on the outside lift. Is that one going to make it on the channel?

[@Bobschoppshop]

Nice seeing you give the last of the real chargers some love very unappreciated cars the cordoba and chargers of that era are really good cars and with some custom touches and wheels and tires you can have a cool car for not much money that actually turns heads to bad most people never do anything with them.

[@hayneshvac2]

The firework makes me wonder if this car was used in a Hollywood movie. Seems like this could be related to some movie magic. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@MortskeRepair]

Could be

[@stevemiller6766]

You are a lucky man, those are the cars that were new when I left High school. i would l love to have one of those sir!

[@MortskeRepair]

Sell ya one!
