1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna 454

454 V8. Is this really a genuine 1973 one-year-only Laguna wagon?

Who knows!?

If that is a recreation, someone did a LOT of work to do it right. Looks really great.

 

Very nice but way out of my price range unless I win the lottery real soon.

 

Cool! I like the yellow.

 

That's a big damn gas tank.

 

My guess is that it's a real Laguna. I was working at a Chevy dealer when these came out in the fall of '72. Pretty big year for Chevys - all new pickups and the new Chevelle. Curiously, I don't remember these Laguna wagons being very big sellers. Most everybody opted for a regular Malibu. Here's a page from the '73 Chevy wagon brochure. Appears that the Laguna originally came with a regular chrome rear bumper, not the painted one as seen on the wagon in the for sale ad. (Although it seems to make sense to have in painted to match the Endura nose.)

 

Not a fan of yellow but I actually like this one. Is this price kinda high or is this car this rare?

I had never seen a Laguna wagon before and tend to believe this nice version was custom built. Pretty neat though.
I remember working on a Laguna S-3 or something or other sedan in the mid 70's. It's body was white with red exterior tape and paint stripes, or at least lower rocker area was painted red with small stripes above rockers. It had red interior with very cool swivel bucket seats. (way cool) and was wondering how they would look in my 67 charger at the time. I digress..

 

Sure is, probably carried moonshine before it was turned into the gas tank.
Thank the legendary 1968 GTO for the one piece color keyed nose styling.
If it was mint original or restored car I could see it going for that much or more with no problem but being modified and a non original color I don't know.

 

Did they make a s-3 wagon?

the front end was more sloped out i think.
