About my Laguna

One of 1307 produced for sale in Canada. Ordered in Nova Scotia,manufactured in Ontario Canada.I purchased the car in May 2000 from a man who owned it since June 1976.It had 72000 miles and now has 76000 miles and was only an hour away from the original selling dealer. I had GM Canada Retoration Services run the vin and received the production numbers,options and tech specs.It had one repaint prior to me purchasing it. I pulled the trim off and repainted it myself that fall. I had the seats redone replaced the carpet and door rubbers in the spring of 2001. I currently have a GM crate engine to replace the original engine which still works great but time has had its way with the seal and gaskets. The TH 350 is being rebuilt and shift kit installed. I have no plans for any major changes as I think the car is worth more in its original configuration then not. There are very few left and they need to be preserved and restored as much as possible.  Biggest problem NO PARTS?

i sympathize with you on getting (or not getting) parts.
mine is a '76 lime Malibu Classic/turned S3 clone. it was my parents car, purchased new & handed down to me. the S3 conversion started when a truck ran a red light and i needed a new front clip.  
your ride looks awesome. keep after it & don't let it get away from ya!
