1975 COPO "Laguna" El Camino (VERY Rare)

This COPO "Laguna" El Camino is so rare, it is almost legendary. In the last half of 1975 for dealers in the know, they could order a COPO Option of having the aerodynamic plastic nose and bumper from the same year Laguna Car installed at the factory, instead of the stock flat nose, installed by the factory. According to the research we did on the VIN, this El Camino was produced out of the Arlington Plant (About 100 miles from here so it did not travel far).

We are starting the bid, no reserve on the Laguna El Camino at the NADA Value Current Listed Value Of $16,175 for A "1975 Classic El Camino" With a 350 engine, the truck is in excellent conditions. WE have no way of determining just what the Laguna El Camino is really worth, it is so rare we could not find any examples to compare it too.

Chevy Made many thousands of the SS El Camino over the years, but there were only a few of these ordered, so this makes this COPO Laguna one of the rarest El Camino's ever made. We would guess this should go for above $30,000 because it is so rare, but we are starting the auction at what we consider ridiculously low price of $16,175, NADA Guides Listed Value for just a Classic El Camino, without taking into the account of the COPO Laguna Nose Option.

ORIGINAL Matching Numbers Engine with the speedometer reading of 39,670, From the excellent condition of the El Camino when we first got it, we believe it to really be 139,670 miles, it was too nice to be any more, the original foot pedals would lead you to believe there was very little use of this car. We painted it the original color, with the addition of Clear Coat to make it really shine.

Stripped, painted and re-assembled, installed new interior, top to bottom, carpet to headliner, new rubbers and seals around windows and the doors, new hoodliner, new front shocks, with air shocks in the rear. There is nothing wrong with the engine, so it was not touched.

After a years worth of way too many hours of work to count, This Laguna El Camino looks GREAT, runs, drives, rides nice, stops like it should, all lights work, it just needs tags and license and it's ready to go. We have in hand the clear Texas title for the truck.

Please pay very close attention to the detail of this restoration in the pictures, even the spare tire and original bumper jack. From end to end, this is a very nice, very, very rare El Camino.

Please call us, or e-mail us with any question, or if you need additional photos. In most cases I would tell ya it is the nicest you might be able to find, but in this case, it might be the only one you will ever find.

Thanks!!

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980sÂ— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
