Description
The Ron Plescia-designed steel body received styling tweaks by Franco Scaglione and was built in Turin, Italy, by Intermeccanica before being shipped to Oakland, California, for final assembly. This example is said to have been delivered from the factory in British Racing Green and was repainted in its current green by Cruisin Auto Body of Lake Mills, Wisconsin, in September 2009. Features include quad exhaust outlets, chrome split front and rear bumpers, and Carrozzeria Intermecannica and Apollo badges.

The chrome Borrani wire wheels feature three-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 185R400 Michelin X radial tires. A matching spare wheel is mounted in the trunk along with a hammer and jack. The Apollo features a ladder-frame chassis with suspension components sourced from a contemporary Buick. Braking is handled by front disc brakes and finned rear drums.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery with matching door panels and carpets. Features include lap belts, an Apollo-branded ashtray, and a dash-mounted turn signal stalk. The carpet is worn through in the driver’s footwell, and the rear carpets show areas of fading.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel features an Apollo horn button and frames Jaeger instrumentation including a tachometer and a 180-mph speedometer. The horn is currently inoperable. Just under 4k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, 150 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The Buick-sourced 300ci V8 features finned Apollo 5000 GT-branded valve covers and a chrome air cleaner.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Borg-Warner four-speed manual transmission. The fuel tank was replaced under the seller’s ownership.
