This is a no reserve auction for my 1974 Chevy Laguna Type S-3. My parents are selling their house so I have nowhere to keep this car anymore, but I hate to sell it. I have had the car since high school as a project and weekend car, and over that time I have done tons and tons of work to it to create my vision of a muscle car. That is, being a streetable car that looks and sounds like a NASCAR car.
I bought the car from guy who owned a used car lot and had this car sitting in the back lot. It barely ran when I got it and was pretty rough, with a little work I got it running and had fun with it for a while until I decided that I wanted to get a little more power from it. I pulled the stock 400ci engine out and rebuilt it using SCAT connecting rods, an Eagle crank, Sealed Power pistons, a high lift cam, Holley Contender high rise intake with matching Carb, Corvette 327 "camel hump" heads, headers and a boom tube NASCAR exhaust. On paper, the car should be putting more than 400hp to the wheels, and it feels like it does.
Along with it, I had a custom turbo 400 trans built for me by Luke's Transmissions which has a semi-auto valve body and is good for more than 800hp.
We also did a custom interior with all new gauges, a racing style metal dashboard, racing buckets and cam lock seat belts.
The biggest attention getter is probably the suspension though. We purchased tubular upper and lower control arms that were directly off of a modern NASCAR Cup car and created custom mounts for them. This allows for a lot more adjustability and of course a better look. The uppers are stainless steel so they look great and are easy to keep clean.
The plan was to eventually put big brakes, posi-trac rear end with taller gears and do a nice paint job on it. Other than that the car is ready to go and is a current driver right now, it is even currently registered.
I have the clear CA title (pink slip) there are no paperwork issues, no back fees, NO salvage title, it's in my name, no problems, it's all good. Shipping is the buyers responsibility.
If you have any questions or want to schedule a time to look at the car, feel free to contact me. 714 8seven8 83one4, my name is Patrick.
Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
