S-3 Back Into An SS: 1976 Chevrolet Laguna

“You’ve changed, we’ve changed” or so went some silly Chevrolet tagline from the ’70s. In that era, it was more like “we’ve changed because the pesky gov’t made us change”. Well, not entirely of course, but if you look… more»

This! That’s right, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is an excellent survivor example, it’s my favorite version of Chevy’s iconic first-gen pony car, and it’s green. Expensive at $45K? Considering what it is, and its condition, it’s not a… more»
