**** THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION AT THE GAA CLASSIC
CAR AUCTION - JULY 25 - 27, 2019 **** As the muscle car era was
forced into decline in the early 1970's due to rising insurance and
fuel prices the public thirst for sporty American cars never
wavered. To satisfy this demand the Laguna was introduced as a
replacement for the recently discontinued Chevelle SS series. The
sporty two-door coupe was an immediate success both on the street
as well as on the high banks of the NASCAR circuit. The stock car
heritage runs deep to the core of these cars as the heated NASCAR
rivalries of the period pushed teams to find sleeker and more
aerodynamic packages to gain a competitive edge. The Laguna Type
S-3 was smooth in every direction and sported a new aerodynamically
styled soft urethane front end, 15-inch rally wheels, dual sport
mirrors and louvered coach windows. It also came standard with
special shocks and front and rear stabilizer bars as well as
steel-belted tires to complement the radial tuned suspension. This
Dark Red Poly Laguna is in great shape with a recent repaint as
well as new upholstery, carpeting and weather stripping. Power
comes from a period correct 400 cubic-inch V8 with Edelbrock intake
manifold and four-barrel carburetor connected to a three-speed
automatic transmission. The interior is loaded with standard and
optional features like the popular Strato-Bucket swivel seats,
tachometer, tilt steering, center console and power windows. These
unique sports coupes were built in very low number with 1975 being
the rarest year and 7,788 Laguna S-3s' manufactured. Stock Number:
