    It sure is red, did anyone say it was red. The AC belt doesn't quite line up, I haven't checked why. I bought all Moog balljoints and bushings and will hopefully get them installed in the next couple weeks. I really like the car but I have 4 Apollos. I'm only keeping the Stage 2 455 Apollo. I might have to change the interior to all black. It was all red and I couldn't take it so that's why the black seats. Did I mention it WAS all RED?

    You might want to post some more pix of the undercarriage and trunk floor. I'm assuming it's real solid.

    Thanks, trunk is solid and so is undercarriage. Next time I put it on the lift I'll take pics. I have my own lift but I have my son's Apollo GSX with S2 455 on it for a while longer.:TU:

    How good is the body, undercarrage and paint on this? Does the ac work? Any rust issues ever?

    Everything looks good on this car. The trunk seal was replaced because it leaked but I could not find even a pin hole. The AC still needs the front bearing replaced but everything is there. It was painted at One Day so it is not show quality. The prep was not show quality and was done and primed before I bought the car. It looks like a Calif car all its life. All body panels and floor are solid.

    We changed the motor to a used 70 high performance, all fluids, some brake lines, This car is pretty fast with 100 octane fuel. We retard the timing for 91 octane. ( not so fast)
