Ron Kellogg has owned many cars in his years of automobile obsession. He bought three Apollo GT bodies directly from Apollo as the company was going out of business in 1966.
He sold two of the bodies to friends and he finished one for himself and his lovely wife Sonya.

He paid $1,500 for Body #1072 as noted on the sales receipt below right.
Below is a sales invoice from Buick to Apollo International for two V8 engines. It is interesting that the price is not listed. After a time of having fun with this Apollo GT Ron and Sonya let it go to another caretaker.

Unfinished Apollo GT
Below are two slide shows from the Apollo gathering at Concorso Italiano in August 2013 in Monterey, California.
I wonder if one of the 17 Apollos in Monterey is the former Kellogg Apollo – No. 1072? If you know the answer please let us know.

My thanks to Ron Kellogg for these documents and photos of his former Apollo GTs.
There was a white Apollo GT in Dayton, OH that used to show up at their concours periodically. I think it was owned by a car dealer/collector but the last that I heard, it was moved to Idaho. I wonder if this is the car that was perviously owned by Mr. Kellogg?
I just bought 1072 last weekend, at a garage sale. I had never heard of an Apollo
Before I set eyes on this beauty. The fella I bought it from started a restoration in 1992
And never never finished it. The car is in pieces but seems pretty complete.
It’s rust free and extremely clean. I’m obviously over whelmed with This article.
This is way kool
Troy – congratulations! The Apollo GT is a wonderful car that you will love when it is back on the road.
My dad just found this exact car. We have apollo #1072
Joshua,
It would be great if you would send photos to me.
Hi Mike, its just GREAT to know someone has that fine Apollo that I once owned, and its was exciting to put that fine car together many years ago, and now to find out its in GOOD hands to be restored, and come alive again, it was very SPECIAL to Sonya & I, and hope the new owner enjoys one of the VERY SPECIAL CARS that was so creative for that period of time. God Bless them.
