Due to age related physical limitations, I am seeking to rehome ‘the YELLA BRICK’ 1976 Chrysler Cordoba unlimited Open Road Racing car. After more than a decade of feeding and clothing, pampering and enjoying, improving and maintaining this hot rod, I am being ripped out of the driver’s seat by Father Time, and I’m kicking and screaming the whole way. I feel I can no longer safely drive ‘the YELLA BRICK’ at the speeds it was designed for.
This is a turn key race ready race car with the exception of needing new tires, as the current ones are out of date and would not be accepted at any event.
Street Legal in Idaho with clear title, Licensed, presently insured.
Originally built as an Unlimited Open Road Racing car, it also takes easily to longer and faster pavement hillclimbs with glee ! A real fun car that is very stable at speed.
Teched for 205 mph in 2010 by MKM (Mojave Mile)
This is NOT a closed course racing car as it needs more braking upgrades and different transmission for that. However, ‘the YELLA BRICK’ is Ideal for:
- Silver State Classic
- Silver State Challenge
- Big Bend Open Road Challenge
- Sand Hills Open Road Challenge
- Virginia City Hillclimb
- Central City Hillclimb -
- Pikes Peak Hillclimb- Bonneville Salt Flats
- El Mirage Dry Lake
As it presently sits, it is as raced in the 2016 Pit Rally Central City Hillclimb with the addition of about 20 street miles, before being put on jack stands inside for the winter. Broke it out this spring and have about 100 additional street miles on it.
This is not a show car that race, but a race car that shows pretty well. The original build was in 2005 -2006 and is well documented with photos of the complete build and throughout the following years to present. The paint is the original VALSPAR ‘Support the Troops’ YELLA laid on in 2006, graphics are all vinyl and can be removed if desired.
Body is all steel and she weighs 4,100 lbs. dry w/o driver or full tank of 110 octane fuel.
