My 1973 Buick Apollo making a time trial pass at Pamona, CA for Super Chevy 2002
This is the only pass that I ever made down Pamona. We drove the car 90 miles in Friday morning LA traffic to get there. I made this one time trial pass and got a call that the wife was in the hospital getting ready to deliver our daughter, so my buddies raced it for me the rest of the weekend. They did good, made it into 3rd or 4th round, not bad at all for their first time ever running. At the time the car was running 12.70's @ 109 down at Carlsbad Raceway which was my home track. Still have the car just doesn't see much action and when it does it's at Mid Michigan Motorplex, and now my daughter is 9 years old now.

Yes, I went backwards from a Typhoon to a stock Explorer intake. For one I wanted to see 1st hand the difference in performance. So far on a little street romping it doesn't appear that it gives up anything over the Typhoon but that will be seen in 6 days when I make it back out to the track for a bit of test and tune on May 11. Stay tuned to see if it can repeat the 11's with a stock Explorer intake to go along with it's assembly line built stock Explorer short block. Aside from the cam and valve springs, of course.

The meticulously detailed engine bay really sets off the 400CI engine in its original form. The dual Exhaust with chrome tips help give this heavy weight the aggressive head turning sound that speaks muscle all the way. Some photographs of the car being restored are included in the sale.

The factory original Super Sport chrome wheels that are wrapped in new white lettered radial tires which help keep all that muscle firmly planted to the road. So don't let this 1968 Buick GS 400 get away, come on into our indoor showroom and once you grace your eyes upon this beast, the next home for it will be yours!
