'73 Buick Apollo

all four new tires, new glass in front and resealed back windshield as well.




new pistons, rings, bearings, lifters, gaskets, polished crank, new mild cam, heads redone. HEI distributor, converted to 4 barrel carb. New water pump oil pump, and timing chain. New aluminum radiator. New heater core, New Alternator, new battery, new interior, new paint, and much more.

Under the hood has been sand blasted and painted meticulously where the engine compartment was originally black. It is in very good shape, but not a show car. Rear floor pans should be replaced. Small water leaks around hatch and from passenger side vents in front quarter panel. . Should be garaged. These things leaked straight from the factory. 

Uploaded is the most recent service receipt.

Trans is having trouble going into reverse - Needs an alignment or tires balanced. Rides smooth until 63mph on the dot, and then the vibration starts.

This 350 runs like a beast - I’ve driven up to the mountains and back twice, taken it on several 2+ hour trips in the condition it’s in. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, even as is. You just have to be careful where you park with the reverse issue. 

I’m sad to see my Polly go, but I am about to take a job in Oregon and I cannot bare the thought of having her in the snow and rain all winter long. I’d rather pass it on to someone with a garage to complete my hard work.



Here is a dropbox link with more photos, a walk around and a startup video .
