    Man, I used to have a 1975 Ods Omega (same car) with a Buick 350 that I performed a mild build on and a 2.93 posi rearend. That car did about 150 mph (ask me, I have the ticket from the Texas State Police to prove it). I can't imagine one with a big block in it.

    Funny, one of the pics in the new eBay ad shows that it DOES has frame connectors! At least it looks like it was built right.

    The 6x heads on the pontiac are for a 350 or 400. They're definitely not Super Duty heads.

    SD have round port heads like the RAIV, are they not?

    Not a bad looking car.......

    Yup! Ram Air 4, HO and SD heads all had round ports. Everything else had D ports.

    I have an Apollo 73 with a buick 455 under the hood with AC intact. yea the worst fit I have ever done. The rear steer was the biggest problem. In 75 with new front steer this would not be problem and ez fit then. But like me I have seen GSX 74 Apollo and was a decal car and buckets, thats it even seen it with a 250 strt 6 in a GSX, but never have I seen or heard Pontiac used in a Buick until 78 motor mixing in Lesabre. Please post any factory build or records regards to this option anyone??

    Monza, was a stock available 305, with a 350 offered as special in spyder. other sisters olds had a v6 only, and buick skyhawk had a v6 3.8 only.

    H is the Plant on which car is built , here H stands for Flint plant, the Apollo up to 74 was built in california.

    75 went back to Flint for assembly. on x body.

    My 455 72 motor in my 73 apollo breaks 2nd at 45 and spins them out . The Car is real squirlly due to over power on a small car, Ihave Camaros too and the Apollo with a 455 is scarry.

    I am planting in a buick 350 in my Roadhawk and doing it with factory style clamps, hoses ,colors of corp blue motor, to look as if factory , to match the spyder monza cars that did get 350s of chev motors.

    I have seen many apollo and Omegas with olds and pontiac 455 under hoods, I dont think it is real, I would have to see a paper trail , build sheet, apsolute truth, to many motor plants in the "nova" bodys. I think it is sick when available motors for car types to match in 70s should have stayed with there brands. The motor switch nightmare started in 78 with olds motors in Lesabre at the factory level, and owners cried out then.

    Car has to be fake, cg

    He didn't say the engine numbers match the car. But I'm sure the engine numbers match a car. Big difference between words "the" and "a." I like the 1991 car show trophy - yeah - nothing "cold" have happened in those past 18 years. Nice touch.

    Received a note back at ebay from seller now an agent for seller: it read the old owner said it was "matching" but now with all complaints has come out and said it is a mockup car to look as a GSX, No 75 was ever built, and yes it is firebird motor in the car. go to latest click on ebay, now states the "clone" idea, and no longer is matching. said 'thus the price of the car is under 10k."

    Hate when sellers are at first a fraudulant seller, especially in a web international add.
