this is a real GSX, a '74 Apollo GSX. I ain't ever heard of one, seen one, or considered it could even exist. NZcarnerd points out that the 1974 Apollo GSX was a $96 trim option.
I've been lucky to find some interesting stuff. I do want you to know that things will be slow on this blog for a bit, I'm researching my family tree, and it's very interesting, and has turned into something that I've become obsessed with... and I think you'll understand from how much, and how indepth I have gotten on a lot of stuff here, that I will spend a ridiculous amount of time on looking into something to get to the bottom of it. Well, a family tree, is so much more intense than I thought it would be, and I'm back as far as 1200 years ago so far. That's just on one line of ancestors. I haven't even looked at their spouse's parents yet Anyway, I have been focusing on that, and I think it's easy to see that the amount I post here has dropped by 40% at least for the last week. I'm not sorry, as I have no commitment to this, it's simply something I enjoy a LOT, but I'm a little conflicted - because I do ENJOY the car stuff so darn much. But I have wanted to know my family tree for about 40 years. Now, with Ancestry.com, I can actually dig into it from a computer. No trekking to cemeteries, libraries, and govt records. It won't take forever, and there's only so much that can be looked into with a family tree. Sooner or later, it's going to be complete and I'll be back to working on this to my normal amount of posting every day
No problem with that, you concentrate on things important for you now. If you put one post in a week it would be no difference for me. I would still enjoy it and check that blog every day couple of times. ;D
Yep, 1974 Buick Apollo GSX
ReplyDeleteThanks! Side note, I meant crappy mid and late 70s cars... I liked the 70s the most
DeleteHah, yeah the badge engineers were working overtime in the mid to late 70's converting the mundane into the ridiculous.
DeleteEveryday, something new.

DeleteDidn't Roy Scheider drive an Apollo in the movie, The 7 Ups? I think it was a '72? Or was it a Pontiac Ventura?
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch that movie. I dunno.
DeleteSadly, just an appearance package...
ReplyDeleteThe Standard Catalog says the 1974 Apollo GSX was a $96 trim option.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Stickers and a trunk air foil.
DeleteI wonder what the package cost GM? $5.00?
DeleteYes there was an Apollo GSX in 1974. Sadly, the one in the photo isn't one.
