    Does anyone know of any Apollo GSX's available for sale or trade. I have been looking for one for a long time and most are complete rot boxes.

    Why not buy Tom Rix's car its very nice. I do know of one near me thats low mile but its not perfect. Stripped down and ready for body and paint work. A local kid has doing it for racing with a SBC He might sell.

    Looks like you found your car in N.C. Looks pretty good, especially the interior.

    Yes I retracted my bid because the seller would not contact me to discuss the authenticity of the car. No communication-no buy. Simple.

    An Apollo GSX is identified in the vin#. I am not at home but if someone needs this info I have it. PM me and it will remind me to look it up this weekend. I have an Apollo GSX and 2 other apollos. I already sold a forth one. I also have all the dealer books. None of this info is for sale so don't ask.

    Prior to restoring mine ,I tried to aquire as much info as I could on the Apollo GSX. One piece of documentation that I dug up is a BUICK CAR DISTRIBUTION Model-Option-Trim-Specification Guide
    BULLETIN NO. 74-16 December 18,1973
    (It reads as follows)

    To all Buick Dealers:

    On November 29,1973, We forwarded Bulletin No.74-13 announcing a new GSX option being available on the Apollo. We have completely revised this option package making it much more competitive in todays market.

    The GSX option will be available on the XB17 and XB27 models. It will continue to be available in four colors:
    Code C Arctic White
    Code M Canary Yellow
    Code S Silver Cloud
    Code W Apple Red

    The GSX package will consist of the following equipment:
    Sport mirrors
    Body side mouldings
    Specific ornamentation with accent striping
    Blacked out grill

    With the change in the equipment, there is also a corresponding price change. The established price for the GSX option is as follows:
    Sales code Y1
    Series GSX Package XB17 &XB27
    Dealer invoice amount 74.92
    Holdback 1.92
    Dealer price 73.00
    List price 96.00

    Order forms are in the process of being revised and will contain the description of the GSX option specifying only the equipment previously mentioned. Orders for theApollo GSX may be forwarded immediately your zone office for preference.
    We feel that with a package of this nature, competitively priced, it can easily be merchandised by your salesmen.
