If you contact the GM Historical department, for a small fee, they will produce a report showing your vehicle's original build information, as well as give you information about other statistics on that year. I would imagine a '73 Chevelle with a numbers-matching 454 engine would be somewhat valuable, but depending on other factors like overall condition, it's hard to give a solid number or even a good guesstimate.

I looked for this GM historical place and I couldn't find it, 73 were very low compression engines if it's stock. something like 240-260 hp. not much of performance . Do you have a picture? I remember when those cars were new! they are sharp & with some work can be very fast. if it's in really good shape, no rust or bondo ,it could go for around $15-20 grand.

I think GM made about 2500 or so of the Laguna in 73, and most came with the 350. I don't think I have ever seen a 73 454 laguna or a 4-speed manual laguna. Not sure if 73 had a ss and if so not all had the 454, and I do know that they did have some 4-speed 454's and 350's in 73. I had a triple green (green paint, green vinyl n green interior) 73 laguna, and a 74 red with black vinyl and black interior, both 350's and bench seats, and both had 50's on the back Kelly's, and no air shocks, part of the coolness of these cars is that they had huge rear wheel wells, and when the nova's, camero's either had to be jacked sky high or run maybe 65's they would just sit and spin, specially if they had one wheel peal, like most cars of the late 60's and early 70's did. Anyhooo, the laguna's are most rare, than the ss 454, ss 350, then the basic chevelle, or even Malibu, were similar. and also depending on what color and if they had a bench seat or floor shifter which they did have some auto floor shifters, and if you find a laguna with 454 (which I am not sure if they put a 454 in the laguna) with a 4-speed manual with a bench seat and was like triple black, or triple green, or some other color other than white, red, cuz those were most popular. and if it had a posi is also a big deal , and be aware of fakes............

I had a triple black 73 Laguna with a manual 4-speed, swivel buckets, console and round gauge package. Right now I own a 1973 Malibu, all original, build sheet and docs with a 454 TH400 which I believe to be very rare

1973 Malibu 454, TH400, Triple Black, swivel buckets, console. Have build sheet, all numbers matching, COPO on build sheet. Very rare!

I had a 73 Laguna with 454 turbojet. Swivel buckets. Pw, ps, ac, rear defogger. Turbine wheels, green on black!

I owned a 73 laguna s3 454 automatic red swivel buckets my friends still laugh about how many interior "map" lights the car had lol you could see what you were rolling in any seat. Mine was white with red interior. Gas sucker I got rid of it because it used up 1/2 my paycheck in gas every week.

I own a 1973 Chevelle SS 454 with a Muncie 4 speed and a 373 posi rear, it has a Laguna facia and rear bumper I installed! it was cheaper than a replate on the chrome bumpers,it has swivel buckets, tilt wheel, and matching numbers, I read on history of SS Chevelle that only 560 weir built with the 454 and 4 speeds..

I own a 73 Chevelle SS350 that has the Laguna nose, a factory 4 speed with a bench seat. Also a 73 Malibu, NON SS, car with the Y code 454, bench seat, auto on the column. Also a 73 SS454 4speed Chevelle and a 74 Laguna S3 with a 454. I also own a 73 GMC Sprint SP454. All took a long time to find. One other odd ball I have is a 73 ElCamino SS350 4 speed car/truck. All are original.

My father bought this 1973 SS Chevelle from the dealer brand new when he was 17 for $3400. He still has the receipt. It has the 454 with a manual 4 speed. Built in Oshawa On. Got the build sheet. We just pulled it out of storage where it sat for the last 20 years. Very clean no rust. It will be in good running order by the summer. Nice quarantine project for the winter.
