I bought my first car when I was 15. It was a white and maroon 74 Laguna 400 automatic. It was a great car and I loved it! But my dad talked me into selling it a year later to buy a Fairmont futura economy car because of gas prices. YUCK!!! BIG MISTAKE!!!

30 years later, in 36 hours I will be buying another 74 laguna!!! Only this time around it has a 454 in it and it is a real Nice car, fully restored and ready to go!!! I will try to post photos of my first one with me in it when I was 15 and a bunch of my new one after I get it home.

The guy that's selling it to me is in his 50s and a 74 laguna was his first car also, kind of magical if you ask me.
