This 1965 Apollo 2+2 is a prototype model that was featured at the 1965 New York Auto Show and acquired by the current owner in 1971. It was stored from 1966 until 1984, when a refurbishment was performed by British European of Seattle, Washington. Work included refinishing the body and updating the suspension with parts from a Ford Mustang II. A Ford 302ci V8 was installed at the time and is paired with a C-4 three-speed automatic transmission. Other equipment includes power steering, Truespoke wire wheels, and a custom black leather interior.
The 2+2 body was designed by Franco Scaglione and hand-formed at Intermeccanica of Turin, Italy before being shipped to Oakland, California for assembly by International Motor Cars. The 2+2 version of the Apollo never made it to production, but later influenced the Griffith GT. Approximately 90 cars were produced in total under the Apollo and Vetta Ventura nameplates between 1962 and 1965.
This prototype sold for $80,000 on Bring A Trailer in 2019.
