    I've often wondered if the people in this neighborhood ever get sick of these clowns parking their cars in the middle of the street so they can take all of these pictures.

    The guy that sells these likely lives there.

    He mentions the Laguna interior, but I thought the Laguna interior was supposed to have full instrumentation? I'd swear this has idiot lights.

    It looks very nice. Seems to be in excellent condition.

    It does have idiot lights instead of gauges.

    Vinyl roof has been replaced, too. The MC emblems on the sides are missing.

    No these guys live in a double wide on the outskirts of town.

    Has anyone ever seen one of their ebay auctions actually end in a sale? Seems like they all end with reserve not met.

    Gauges were optional, even on the Laguna two different versions of gauge packages were available. One with gauges and a clock and the other with gauges and a tach.

    I believe cloth was an option. I do know one of my best friends had a 75 Laguna S3 brand new and it had cloth.

    This is MJC - home of what seem like nice cars but reserves that never get met.

    Always just sooooo close!
