    The Chevrolet Laguna has an interesting history. Though not rare cars, but were not common either.


    I liked my Laguna S-3 because it wasn't common like many other cars at the time, that many of my friends were driving. It was a pleasure to drive too. Very comfortable, but handled pretty decently too.
    A car that isn't so common, that I had tried to talk my buddy into selling me years ago, 1973 AMC AMX. Something about that car made me really want one.

    Don't own it anymore, but do miss my 96 SS.

    Sold it when I didn't have room in the garage anymore.

    I worked with a fellow that bought a new '74 S-3 just like this one.

    2005 Avalanche Z71.
    Easy on fuel mileage.
    Rode like a limo.
    Towed like a 2500.

    Traded it at 225000 miles because the check engine light kept throwing a crank shaft timing code. Should have dropped a crate engine in it and rebuilt the transmission.

    There is 1 up the street from me for sale at a small lot. They dropped a duramax with a twin turbo set up. I have to keep myself from looking at it everyday when I drive by. I bet that thing moves around.

    My first car was a mustang… I don’t really miss it, because I do have a ‘67 Cougar that scratches the “pony car” itch.

    However, I loved my Datsun 1600 pickup and still regret having sold it off to a friend that needed it to move out of CA. It was perfect for loading a motorcycle into.

    My buddy had one of those in a wagon..bad ass..he dropped it and mounted bigger rims..it rode great
    Yessir, mine was not the wagon but I have seen those. It’s crazy those cars tuck rims like it’s nothing. 22’s looked small on them.

    Yes sir, I think you guys are correct, the 95 and 6 Fleetwood had the LT1 vet spec motor in it. I think the ss caprice of the same years had the same set up. They were cancelling the platform but still had 2 or 3 years of production that they needed motors for.

    I believe the fleetwood, could be wrong though. I had a 95 sts with a supercharged NorthStar that hauled ass though also

    I believe you are correct.

    The LT-1 was a pretty popular engine and used in a lot of various GM vehicles.

    Interesting. I wish I'd never sold a car like this:

    The interesting thing is that the head on the Datsun 1600 used an exact replica of the MGB's valve train. When I re-built the motor on it, using the Datsun rocker arm shaft and rocker arms was a lot cheaper than the OEM ones.

    This is not mine, I don't have any pictures of it. I bought in 1971 from the original owner
    1966 Chevelle SS 396/375 L78
    Marina Blue

    i had a red 1966 convertible in ss396. jt had a tach mounted low on the dash, just above knee level. ln '73, i nearly gave it away when gas got all the way up to 50 cents a gallon. i only got about 6 mpg. to add insult to injury, i bought a new '73 vega gt. it couldn't get out of it's own way. about 90 horsepower. it started using oil at about 13.000 miles and the tires wore out about the same time.
