1974 laguna 454/4spd all original just got her running again NEW BURNOUT VIDEO FOR RAGO

If at first you don't succeed.... JB

That paint on that car reminds me of my first car's paint job. Seemed like a good lesson in what not to do!
Other than the paint, the body looks pretty solid. Hopefully you'll get it to top shape soon.

I love the sound of that car! And one of my goals is to install a manual transmission in my white 73. I love banging gears and I want to feel what it's like in a big block beast like our cars.

That's awesome! Thanks for posting, now I think I owe you one when mine's up & running again.

I'm all for laying a little rubber on a fast takeoff, what I don't care for is when you lock up the front wheels and just sit in one spot and spin the wheels like crazy. You will never see me doing my car that way. Of course, people can treat their cars any way they want to, no law aginst it. JB
