That is another nice find! The seller would get his money back and more if he replaced the faded carpet and added nicer floor mats. Other than that, nothing at all to complain about!

 

Looks like a very nice car.................................what do you think it will sell for??????

 

Hard to say. Not sure how popular the mid size Chevy's are compared to the full size clam shells. But if that 75 Caprice Estate from Canada just went for 12K and this car is much rarer and has a 454 then probably a few grand more than that car. For that kind of money in a wagon definitely worth a plane ticket to check it out in person. Looks like a recent paint job so best to check that body out. Plus a compression check on that 454 would be a good idea. Last thing you want is to pay big $ for this car because of the 454 and end up spending 5K to rebuild it. Very nice car though and it looks like the engine hasn't been altered since it even has the smog setup still on it.

 

Very nostalgic, I haven't seen those metal screw in between the coils with a 1/2" ratchet coil spring spacers in years.
Nice paint job.

 

A very nice wagon....
I'm a bit curious as to what the wagon's history is. It certainly looks too solid to have been on east coast roads for its entire life. Looks 'west coast', southern California from underneath.

 

Up to 10k the first day of the auction. I'm guessing this one goes in the high teens.

 

What is it with the orange colored wagons all of a sudden? Lol Rare wagon right here.

 

Up to over $14k with one day left.

 

Reserve now met. This beauty is going to bring some serious money.

 

Sold for $15,875?

 

It says reserve met, I say it's sold.
I always wonder what the winner's high bid was to hit the reserve? Their first bid placed was last Monday and it automatically kept up the high bid so who knows? It looks like they raised the high bid to meet the reserve on the last day and nobody even tried to bid over that. That guy really wanted that car, it's like holding your paddle up at an auction and never putting it down until you win the item, it can go good or it can go bad.
I think it was a good deal, nice car.

 

Certainly an extremely rare wagon - 1973 was the one and only Laguna wagon. I'd said aside my usual "fix the AC" rule for one this rare, especially for the 454.
