About my Laguna

This rare Chevelle that has been in the Family since new. Has gone through some of my cosmetic changes these past two years.
From stuffing a 350 stroker and turbo 350 trans.
Doing the customizing, smoothing out, and painting a two tone Blue and Silver myself was a lot of work but its worth driving it now.

Nice. Your colors are what I had in mind for my 73 Chevelle SS. Only instead of the 2 tone it will be silver with blue SS stripes.

Well, my 73 laguna does have a 600 horse rat, but no over drive until I can afford a richmond 6 speed to replace my Th400. It's got a 3.73:1 gear and cruises 65 easy but still runs mid twelves in the quarter. iI is still wheel hopping and if I can fix that I think it will get in the 12.0-11.9 range on real street tires {not cheater slicks), so does it qualify for a feature?

You have a great looking ride,I also own a 73 ss 454 with a laguna nose and rear bumper, I am redoing it for the third time, I realy like your two tone paint,I believe this year car will be like the 58 Impala,It will take a bit longer to be noticed, but it will be more valueble in the long run.

This is an awsome car and i thought i was the only one that liked the 73 laguna. I have one that is silver with blue pearl and black racing stripes it also has blue pearl. Mine has a monster 600 rhp all motor 350 dual carb,  with a muncie 4-speed and a 3.73 gear. Maybe i will post my pics now.

This is a sweet-looking ride. I wish I owned one like it. I don't have to tell anybody how much I love these cars. I think they're one of the most under-rated musclecars ever. The Laguna front end looks nicer than the regular Malibu grille too. It needs a 600hp big-block and overdrive. Then it gets its own feature in PHR.
