STORY

The Mirada was a Dodge-badged cousin of the Chrysler Cordoba, a Cordoba reduced to fit the smaller platform that began with the 1976 Aspen and Volare. It was sold from 1980 to 1983. The base engine was the 225 cubic inch slant six at 90 hp in 1980; the 360 V8, rated at 185 hp, was offered only in 1980 and dropped after that. Sales totaled 52,947 over the run, with 5,597 in 1983, its last year. Arrington Racing ran a Mirada in NASCAR from 1981 to 1984.
