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 |

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
