EXTERIOR: Exquisite! The professional 2 stage PPG paint job is show
quality and was applied with expert precision. We have receipts for
over $24,000 in body work and paint. Looking down the side of the

that were modified from a Trans Am. The rear bumper was tucked into
the body, painted body color and the lower portion was custom
fabricated for the exhaust tip cutouts. The rear spoiler was also
custom fabricated. It's sitting on a set of staggered custom wheels
with Chevrolet center caps and polished tips. They are 18" in the
front and 20" in the rear with a fat 275/40R20 tire size.

and the white is awesome against the frost green! New weatherstrip,
new carpet, new dash pad, new headlight switch, new speaker
assembly, new headliner, new upholstery with front swivel buckets,
new pedal assembly, new mirror, new shifter, and handle too. The
stereo is also new and has Bluetooth capabilities and a microphone
for hands free calling. It has dual toggle controls for the
sideview mirrors. Additional gauges monitor the vitals. The dome
light is working.

are all painted satin black. Even the hinges and latch assembly
look new. The battery is properly secured and the squirters are
hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Exceptional just like the rest of the car! The
underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted just like the body.
The weatherstrip was replaced and it has a reproduction sticker
plus a trunk mat. The trunk light works. The trunk pan is all
exceptionally clean metal with a neatly applied spatter finish
paint. It's complete with a full-size spare tire, jack assembly,
lug wrench, and fire extinguisher that are all properly

including a new steering gearbox. It's equipped with front and rear
swaybars. The complete suspension was upgraded with new shocks and
springs etc. 2" lowering springs and gas shocks in the rear. It has

exhaust pipes were custom bent with a x-pipe and Dynomax mufflers
leading to polished tailpipes that exit under the custom molded
rear bumper. The gas tank was replaced and is now compatible with
fuel injection. All the lines are new. Looking up at the 454 V8
engine it is nice and clean with spotless Chevy orange paint. The
Tremec TKX 5 speed manual transmission is brand new with a fresh
mount also. The driveshaft was resized. The 10 bolt posi rear end
was rebuilt with a new yoke and 3.55 gears. The floors are solid
and rust free with a thin undercoating and fresh black paint. The

SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this car, and we
adjusted the clutch, replaced the speedometer gear, and adjusted
the rear brakes. This car was extremely dialed in when we purchased
it!
These slant nose Lagunas were dominating NASCAR, Cale Yarborough
was behind the wheel of several of those wins. As a tribute to him
this car has Cale Yarborough special stickers, they are removable.
