The Apollo GT is a rarity, with a total of 88 made, and fewer than 50 believed to survive. Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, CA has a critical example, of a 1964 model said to be the second-to-last made, all original with just 4,000 miles.

Upon hearing that a fastback coupe powered by a Ford big-block V8 sold for $173,600 at the Bonhams Quail Lodge auction in Monterey, you might think, “Must be a Shelby.” The car was, however, something completely different, yet distantly related: a 1971 AC 428 coupe.

This summer, RM Sotheby’s, Bonham’s, and Gooding & Company hosted online auctions in place of their usually scheduled Monterey events.
