This would be a great car to restore or use as a parts car for your project. The exterior is in great shape. There is a little bit of rust on the lower parts of the fenders, but the frame and underneath are excellent. When you open the hood, on each side about half way back where the inner lip of the fender overhangs the fender liner, there is some rust out. It's not bad, but it's the worst on the car. It has had some body work over the left rear fender, but it's not bad either. The remainder of the body is very straight and nice. It comes with its fender skirts as well. I believe this car and be restored without needing a single patch panel.

I believe all the glass is good, but I'll have to recheck on that. I will report differently if it's the case.

The front seats are missing and the rest of the interior has been dismantled. Other than the seats, it appears that most everything is there. Look at the pictures and if you have specific questions about what's there, please contact me and I will answer your questions.

I found a key that turns the ignition, so I threw a battery in it and cranked it over a little bit. It turns freely, and, from what I can see, everything is complete under the hood -- minus one hood hinge, but I think it's in the car. I don't know Pontiac engines, but "the book" says that this should be a 389, so I'm assuming that is the case. The automatic transmission is there, as is the exhaust system and rear end. I forgot to check on its options, although I remember seeing a power steering pump. I believe the windows are manual.

Before bidding please do your shipping homework. The buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for shipping. The car is just outside of Blanding, UT 84511. I'm approximately 300 miles from Salt Lake City, UT and Albuquerque, NM, and about 400 miles from Phoenix, AZ and Denver, Co. In fact, I'm about 60 miles northwest of Four Corners, where the four states meet. I will have the tires aired up and it will be a roller, but please check into the cost of shipping before winning the bid then changing your mind. I'm afraid it will be pretty pricey to have it shipped. Call (435-459-0591) or email if you have any questions. Thanks.

This is a no reserve auction, so one bid might win it. This car is being sold AS IS, with no warranties or guarantees, other than I have described it accurately. The winning bidder is to pay a $200 deposit within 48 hours of the auction close. We will then determine how the balance is to be paid. I would like the car to be removed within a month of the auction's close, but that is negotiable, depending on your circumstances.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD

Sun, Aug 1 2021

During the middle to late 1980s, General Motors made a big push to grab back some of the sales swiped by makers of European luxury machinery during the previous decade. Around the top of the prestige pyramid, there was the Turin/Hamtramck-built Cadillac Allante taking aim at the Mercedes-Benz 560SEC and the super high-tech Buick Reatta trying to seduce away BMW and Jaguar shoppers; even the Riviera offered a futuristic touchscreen computer sorely lacking in anything out of Stuttgart or Bavaria. The General had a plan to take on the smaller German sporty sedans, too, and Pontiac of the "We Build Excitement" era offered a midsize sedan packed with modern hardware at a great price: the 6000 STE. Here's one of the rarest 6000 STEs of them all, an all-wheel-drive-equipped '89 found in a Denver-area yard last week. Any 6000 STE is extremely hard to find today; when I wrote about a front-wheel-drive 1987 6000 STE back in 2018, desperate owners of these cars filled my inbox with requests — sometimes demands Â—Â for parts that continue to this day. Many of them pleaded with me to help them find an all-wheel-drive version, and now I have managed to find one at Colorado Auto & Parts in Englewood, just south of Denver (in fact, the same yard at which I shot the '87). You may recall CAP as the old-school yard whose owners built the amazing airplane-engined 1939 Plymouth pickup a few years back.Â The all-wheel-drive system on the 6000 STE was introduced for the 1988 model year, and it became standard equipment on the 1989 STE. At this time, the automotive industry had taken note of the success of the idiot-proof all-wheel-drive systems offered by AMC and Audi/Volkswagen; Toyota began selling Americans all-wheel-drive Camrys, Celicas, and Corollas, while Ford offered the Tempo and Topaz with optional AWD and Subaru was just beginning to make the switch from manually-selected four-wheel-drive to genuine all-wheel-drive around that time (it took a few more years for everyone to standardize on the 4WD/AWD terminology we use today, though). The 6000 STE AWD was intended to compete with such all-wheel-drive-equipped sedans as the Audi 80 ($23,610), Audi 90 ($28,840), and BMW 325iX ($30,750); its $22,599 price tag (about $50,700 in 2021 dollars) certainly made it seem like a bargain compared to those cars. In addition to the all-wheel-drive system, 1989 6000 STE owners got a digital instrument panel and more switches and buttons than the Space Shuttle.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
