The second letter of the VIN should be " E "...

The S-3 was the 1974 replacement for the SS.

Laguna Type S-3 had a new aerodynamically styled soft urethane front end, 15 inch ralley wheels, dual sport mirrors with remote control on drivers side, louvered coach windows, special shocks and front and rear stabilizers. It also came standard with steel-belted radial tires to complement the radial tuned suspension. The interior featured a 4 spoke sport steering wheel to handle the variable ratio power steering. Standard interior featured a bench seat covered with 'herringbone cloth' unique to the Laguna, this model also offered the infamous Swivel bucket seats
