GnX Buick Apollo

[hotwired]

No it's not a Nova.
Hello to everyone, What a great site! I thought I would introduce myself and my project. I am a carnut and LOVE to do electrical wiring. My current project and the reason for cleaning out some of my herd is a 1974 Buick Apollo. Plans are to get as carried away as the budget will allow. My concept is kind of a phantom muscle car on steroids. The 2 dr Apollo was only made from 73-74, and the only the GsX was an option, well since I will be installing a Turbo Buick V6 I thought I would pay respect to one of the baddest cars ever made and brand it a GnX. If you don't know what a Gnx is I might be on the wrong board. Sorry for only 1 sad pic, but I am in the process of trying to get a new workshop built so I can have lots of fun.

So far sitting in storage:

The Car
Drive train (original hot air 3.8 turbo V6 engine converted to Intercooled)
4.1 V6 to build for stage II
Ford Powerstroke intercooler
Grand National interior
Full polished Torque Thrust II
17x7 w/245 45 17 and 17x9.5 w/275 40 17 (I know kinda small, but I'm kinda old school)

Plans and Dreams:

Lots of cash to spend
GsX stripes
C5 brakes front and rear
ATS tall spindles
adjustable control arms
rack and pinion steering
narrowed and tucked bumpers
lots of powered coated black trim
coil overs front and rear
some kind of home brewed linked rear
Lots and Lots of sanding
etc....If I give out any more info I may have to kill you.
Anyway thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave any feedback, I can take it

The interior might be a pain to pull off.Good thing is since its based off the nova there is a huge aftermarket for it.Keep us updated and tons of pictures of it.
