1973 Laguna

Was wondering if anybody knew much about these things. My neighbor inherited his mother-inlaws 1973 2 door laguna. The body is good, and so is the interior. Got the standard 350 and has A/C. Ive never seen one of these, is it worth much? Ive been inlisted to sell the beast, but have no idea what to price it at, or where to look for comparisons. I know its a chevy, but those things are so ugly i dont feel bad talking about them here.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Check out this site:

www.hemmings.com
check out the different areas under Resources, especially the forums

The car isn't all that rare, but you'll find it's real popular with Chevy collectors. If it's in good shape it will bring good money with the 350. Most important is the condition of the front bumper and the dashboard. The dash's were known for splitting, and the plastic front end is difficult (and EXPENSIVE) to find if it needs replacement.

Thanks for all your help guys, i was really clueless on this one. This one has been garaged for all its life, even has a pristine vinyl top. This could get interesting.

Thanks again

those things are alot of fun watch the rear quarters as they rust there its a glorified malibu you can check chevytalk for them or search chevelle or malibu forums i wish i could afford it id buy it in a heartbeat ( no pun intended) they were alot fo fun to modify and an un mollested one should fetch a decent penny ( several thousand)73 was the first year with the new body style kinda like the teardrop rear side window makes em worth more

Interesting that a chevy guy turns to a Ford site, digging up a five year old thread, to solicit a sale in violation of the guidelines he agreed to when signing up-
