Chassis 1074 is a 1964 Apollo 5000GT, the second-to-last of just 76 Apollo GT coupes produced, powered by a 300ci Buick V-8 and bodied in Italy by Intermeccanica to a design refined by Franco Scaglione. Notable for its exceptionally low mileage of approximately 4,000 miles from new, the car spent decades in indoor storage in Southern California and was later owned by Apollo co-founder Milt Brown, who personally attested to its originality. It is believed to be the sole example finished in its particular factory colour.
