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, ut the car was garaged for decades and it shows, ut could use a good cleaning on the interior. This car is located in Lakewood, ew 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, ar 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, hen 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, guarantee it!!!
