Vehicle Detail

1975 "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 our Auction with a ridiculously low reserve!!! The NADA Value is $16,175 for A "1975 Classic El Camino" (Laguna's are much more rare, and worth a lot more too, so this is one steal of a deal) But if you really want this car now, and you don't want to fight the bidders please feel free to take up our Buy It Now Price of $15,000 --- Either way this car has got to go, and this is the LAST Time we will be auctioning this off on EBAY before sending it off to Dallas on Consignment... nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1975/Chevrolet/El-Camino/Classic-Pickup/Values (Due to EBay policy we are unable to share Direct links, so please include http: // www. {link} when searching) 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 very few of these custom ordered from the factory by a Dealer (COPO), only available in the last half of 1975, 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 to the right collector, because it is so rare, but we are starting the auction at what we consider a ridiculously low price based on the over 16k NADA Guides Book Value for just a Classic El Camino, without taking into the account of the COPO Special Ordered Laguna Nose Option. With the original, MATCHING NUMBERS 350 engine, the truck is in excellent condition. The speedometer has a reading of 39,670, From the condition of the El Camino when we first got it, we believe it to 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. This Laguna El Camino in the last year was 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. It Has A New Holley Carb & Holley Valve Covers, otherwise the stock, unmolested 350 that came in it. 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. Unfortunately we do not have the original Build Sheet, or else we would be asking a lot more, but According to our research, we have been able to find only one original build sheet online, and let me tell you our VIN numbers are almost an exact match (with the exception of the Sequential Production Number itself) (Please check out the link provided, upper right hand corner displays the VIN)chevelles.com/elcamino/laguna_ec.htm (Again, Due to EBay policy we are unable to share Direct links, so please include http: // www. {link} when searching) I am also including a VIN Breakdown (For those emails I received saying that ALL El Camino's 2nd digit is an E or C... They just don't know a Custom El Camino when they see it)elcaminocentral.com/showthread.php?t=27738 (Due to EBay policy we are unable to share Direct links, so please include http: // www. {link} when searching) An Example of normal production run 1975 El Camino VIN would look like this: 1C80L5R100001Our 1975 El Camino VIN looks Like this: 1D80H5R505604Please note that our Laguna El Camino is a "Custom" Also known as "COPO", with the "D" in the second digit, instead of the Normal production run "C"The breakdown is ---- 1 (Chevrolet) D (El Camino Custom) 80 (2dr Sedan Pick Up) H (V-8, 350cid, 2-bbl) 5 (1975) R (Arlington, TX) 505604 (Sequential Production Number)Location – The VIN number is stamped on a plate located on top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield on the drivers side.
