Northern California Newbie Bay Area

[Apollo Gran Turismo]

Hey Guys, you got yourselfs another new guy. I'm from the SF Bay Area, lived here all my life. I got 2 boys 1 in college for business management. The other is going to UTI to become a Mechanic. I was itching to get a Deuce Coupe, not sure how that will go over since I just became the owner of this 1963 International Motor Cars Apollo 3500GT, acquiring it from my fathers estate. You guys may or you may have not ever heard of the Apollo. Its a fairly rare care as only 88 were produced
I've got a 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom I'm in the final stages of finishing With a fresh 409cid Pontiac that's basically a race motor. Built by PPR in San Pedro.

Here's a pic of the Tempest Custom the day I brought it home. I found it and bought it the same day for $750.00

Here's a few pics of the Apollo the day we washed approximatly 15 yrs of dust off her and a pic of the Apollo sales brochure for 1964 that we found in my fathers dresser.

Cool, can't recall seeing one around. I'll keep an eye out for it.

It's got a 215cid Buick Aluminum Block and heads, hence the 3500GT There was only about 15 or so 3500GT's built, the rest were 5000GT's.
