If it should move and doesn't, use WD-40.
If those don't work, its BROKE!

I don't know a damn thing about it, but it oozes awesome from every pore(along with other fluids). I am sure the judges would love it, and I am willing to bet you would have no issues getting in to any race you wanted.
It's a cousin of the Cordoba. So that means it's got fine Corinthian leather. What could possibly go wrong?
Dude .. Terk Logan Theme!!!!

I got one down the block, with 60K miles, and the 6 Cylinder, It was a contender for our 1st Lemons car,, But A Subaru with a 5 speed showed up ....EZ!
PS, this Mirada is nice, and Still there.
We would love to see a Lemons Mirada. That thing could contend for IOE, Organizer's Choice, or Least Horrible Yank Tank.
the 318 is a tough little engine, too.
With iron heads you can lean 'em out for good gas mileage.

Or all three! If I wasn't so drunk, I'd probably figure out how to get it on blocks in my front yard.
there's one sitting right next to a k car stretch limo about 2 miles from my house. The place where they're parked is a garage that works on british cars.
Those cars actually have much more in common with an Aspen/Volare (and their spiritual successors, the M-body Diplomats/5th Avenues) than with a Montalban-era Cordoba.
The B-body Cordoba/Magnum/Charger share a large number of components with pre-malaise-era muscle B-bodies. They'll easily swallow the biggest big-block you can find and go-fast goodies abound.
The F/J/M bodies all feature transverse torsion bars and suffer from front end sag because of it. You can crank the torsion bars down to increase the ride height but stress-cracking the crossmember can happen, and not just in a race situation.
They also have fairly soft rear springs which have a tendency to de-arc.
