1974 Buick Apollo Very Rare Car Only Manufactured for 2 years

O r i g i n a l o w n e r s m a n u a l i n c l u d e d
I picked up this unusual car at an auction in New Jersey and was verified to be a
one owner car
. The mileage is actual (50, 632) and the car may have had a respray in its life but there is absolutely no rust or bondo anywhere on this vehicle and the exterior is excellently preserved with minimal signs of wear and practically ding and dent free. The car starts and drives fine (when warmed up) and is optioned with power steering and power brakes but the left rear window does not open and the air conditioner blows warm.
The woman that inherited the Buick Apollo was related to the original owner (one owner car) who died recently and needed to sell the car. How and why it does not have a flywheel cover I have no idea, but the car was garaged for decades and it shows, but could use a good cleaning on the interior. This car is located in Lakewood, New Jersey 08701 and I can arrange shipping or you can pick the car up and drive it home. I'll have a picture of that missing flywheel cover later today. I am offering this car at an
incredibly
low price, far below its market value and it the Apollo absolutely will not last long at this price. Solid investment opportunity.
If you are the least bit reasonable in your expectation on a highly preserved 42 year old classic rare production model Buick, then you won't have to buy a radio for this car because you'll be singing happy songs while driving it!! You'll be delighted with this car!!! There's
not
a better classic Buick offered on eBay for $3900, I guarantee it!!!
Buick ApolloFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Buick Apollo
is a compact car that was manufactured from 1973 to 1975 by Buick. It was based on the GM X platform along with the Oldsmobile Omega, Chevrolet Nova, and the Pontiac Ventura. The car was named for the Roman god Apollo.
It was powered by a 250 in³ Chevrolet inline six or an optional 350 in³ Buick V8, available with either a 2- or 4-barrel carburetor. The Oldsmobile 260 was added as the base V8 option for 1975. It was available as a thin pillar coupe, hatchback, or as a 4-door sedan. The two-door models were renamed Skylark for 1975; only the 4 door sedan in the '75 model year carried the Apollo nameplate. 112, 901 were built.[3]
1973 Buick Apollo GSXThe 1974 Buick Apollo debuted with very subtle differences. The grill surround was enlarged, and roof mounted safety restraints were added. A
GSX
package was available on the coupe for 1974, however, the GSX was relegated to purely cosmetic changes, lacking any performance upgrades that distinguished it in previous years. It was available in red or white and featured a blacked-out grille, unique striping, white vinyl bucket seats with red interior accents, and wire wheel covers. The GSX was available with both the L6 and the 350 V8, and could be ordered with any of the optional equipment available to other Apollo models.
Standard equipment on the Apollo included in no particular order, a 250 cubic-inch 1-barrel L-6, semi-closed cooling system, manual brakes with finned front drums, coil spring front suspension with stabilizer bar, extensive use on insulation and sound deadening materials, flow-through ventilation system, full-foam seats, front and rear ashtrays, strong, reinforced front bumpers, carpeting, deluxe steering wheel, roof drip moldings, and front and rear wheel opening moldings.
Optional available equipment included a 350 cubic inch 2- or 4-barrel V-8, Turbo Hydra-matic 350 auto transmission, variable ratio power steering, power drum or power front disc brakes, E78x14 bias-belted tires, custom cloth interior trim, convenience center storage compartment, tilt steering wheel, climate control air conditioning with low Freon detector switch, rear window defogger (blower), tinted glass, sport mirrors with drivers remote control, bumper protective strips with white accent stripe- front and rear, bumper guards front and rear, color-coordinated body protective side moldings, deluxe wheel covers, deluxe wire wheel covers, chrome-plated styled wheels (Buick rally wheels) and a custom vinyl top. Steel-belted tires were introduced in 1975.[4]
There was no antenna mounted on the body of the car. Instead, two wires were inserted in between the layers of glass in the front windshield.
