They weren't as tank-ey as the "B" bodies. And that generation front suspension was copied right off the "F" bodies. I had a '76 LeMans and I got it to handle like a champ with a Pontiac 350 and T-350 trans. I seem to remember yanking a BBC out a Laguna S-3, so I'm guessing you could order one in a wagon if so inclined.

I like the ralleys on this one....

That wagon looks really good. I always liked that style of rim. They are a lot cooler than your typical Chevy rallye wheel. I would rock a set of them on my car.

I wonder if they ever made a Laguna S3 wagon? It is a cool body style, but they were a bit tanky.
I'm sure a big block would help compensate for that.
But as Mark said, not as tanky as a B-body wagon.

I have a set of original 15" ones for the Monte for when it hits the road (when ever that will be.)
Everyone should keep in mind a plus factor of those wagons is better chance to find a 454 in one of them (yea I know those where smoged downed on power.)
You're right. I think some had 454's....350's, of course, and if I'm not mistaken, some may have had 400 small blocks.

I think some of the rally wheels from that era have a 5 x 5 bolt pattern
I don't know about that, Steve.
Some B-bodies had 5 x 5 bolt circles, but I think most were 4.75 x 5. I don't remember 5 x 5 rally wheels, though.

The Buick and Pontiac larger vehicles had the 5 x5 and their version of the Rally wheel.

I love the 73's, they look even better in a wagon
