Junkyard Find: 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia



08 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinThe Mitsubishi Cordia was one of the first Mitsubishi-badged cars to be sold in the United States (prior to that, US-market Mitsubishis were Chrysler captive imports). They didn’t sell in huge quantities, and we don’t remember the Cordia as well as the Starion or even the Mighty Max, but I still see the occasional example in California wrecking yards. There was this ’83 Cordia Turbo (from which I obtained the amazing digital instrument cluster), this ’84 Cordia, and this ’87 Cordia Turbo, and here’s this well-worn ’83.

You can’t talk about the Cordia without showing this maddening Australian-market ad.




This Japanese-market one is a puzzler.




Then there’s this list of “Cars whooped by my Cordia.” 01 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 03 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 04 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 05 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 06 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 07 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 08 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 09 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 10 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 11 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 12 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 13 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 14 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 15 - 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin
