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!!

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette

Thu, Jan 8 2015

Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like
