1963 Apollo 3500 GT Navigation
The Apollo 3500GT Spyder combined the craftsmanship of Intermeccanica with the power and reliability of an American drivetrain. Only 11 'spyder' versions were produced, penned by Franco Scaglione, and this Apollo was the prototype for the model - the only 3500GT constructed with an all-aluminum body and an aluminum block and heads. Upon its arrival in the U.S. in 1963, the car was dressed with numerous bespoke features in preparation for its unveiling at the San Francisco Auto Salon in the fall of 1963, followed by the 1964 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The car's first owner was Dr. Gordon Hayden, a U.C. Berkeley professor, nuclear physicist and Apollo stockholder, who kept the car for 30 years until he passed away. In 1995, company founder Milt Brown showed the Apollo at Pebble Beach for a second time and earned Second in Class. Upon acquiring the vehicle in 2019, the current owners consulted with Milt Brown and Apollo historian Robb Northrup to return the car to its 'authentic as built' condition. Before the production of the entire run ceased at only 88 vehicles, the culminating accomplishment was the design and production of just a handful of 'spyder' version whose flowing lines were penned by Franco Scaglione, the same author of such futuristic designs as the Alfa Romeo 'BAT' cars and the Alfa 33 Stradale.

It is believed that five Spyders survive.
