1975 Chevelle Laguna

Between 1973 and 1976, the Chevrolet division of General Motors produced the Chevelle Laguna. The 1974-1976 model years, though, saw a rename and several revisions. The result was the Laguna Type S-3. Only offered as a coupe, the Type S-3 did not allow for much diversity in body style preferences, though the Laguna originally offered coupe, sedan, and station wagon options.

In 1975, the Laguna S-3 primarily used three engines, the 350, 454, and 400. In California, though, only the 350 and 400 engine options were available. In terms of power, the standard 350 two-barrel V8 engine had a 145 horsepower rating, while the 400 was a four-barrel V8 engine with a 150 horsepower rating. The 454 engine was only available for the first half of the model year, but anyone choosing that option enjoyed 215 horsepower.

The Chevelle Laguna came to an end in 1976, but in its time, it enjoyed many victories on the racing circuit. The 1975 model year Laguna was the Daytona 500 winner in the same year. Overall, this was a vehicle that was not necessarily the most popular, but it certainly did not disappoint, especially in the racing world.
