So a few years back met a guy that wanted to offload his Apollo but I couldn't afford it. then I got married, bought a house and really couldn't afford it. The car sat for about 2 years when I got a call about it. The deal only a fool would turn down. So now, while I piece together my Catalina to like new, slowly. I have a 73 Apollo with a worked Buick 350 motor in it. It does have transmission issues where it doesn't go into reverse properly and not sure how to approach it. maybe shifter linkage as all 3 gears work just fine in drive. may be valve body. I have ZERO clue.

Thanks man. So much has been going on. I got inspired the other day on the cat and got some sales on parts and made some extra cash. Hope the 389 goes soon too. 455 is about done. Just accessories need to go on. Need to reach out to the Pontiac company that has the massive book for all these weird bits and pieces.
