I once had a 1973 (4?) Laguna come into my possesion. Free if I could move it.
It had been terribly neglected, had a hand painted-you-can-see-the-brush-marks finish on the passenger side. No cover on the trunk. duct tape covering one of the rear mini-windows. No tread on the rear tires.
All I had to do was rebuild the carb, get new plugs and distributor cap to bring the old 454 roaring back to life. Well, coughing, sputtering, smoking back to life on intermittantly all the cylinders. We had to weld the passenger door on after the first time I opened it, the whole bloody thing came off. Spray painted "01" on the side for effect.
Lasted two days untill a small jump combined with a heavy engine and very worn out shocks resulted in a 'small' oil leak. The oil pan somehow mostly ripped off. Sold it for $250 to whomever could move it.
