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!! Crystal Motorcycle Parts Are Us 254-559-2431 |

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
