I bought this car last winter as a re-buildable car, why the car was considered a total loss is beyond me other than the fact the new parts for these cars are very , very expensive.The car was hit on the passenger side only. I sent it to the frame shop and was told the front was pushed over about 1/8 of an inch and was straightened out at that point, we also found out the engine cradle was moved over about 1/2 inch only to find out the bolts that attach it to the front section were sheared off, he re-aligned the engine cradle and re-bolted with a set of factory bolts in the correct location. While it was there I had him pull out the right rear quarter that was pushed in behind the passenger door as best he could and he also had to pull and re-align the door hinges on the same side and used the new door to set the gaps. The door I was able to locate was in the same color as the car and transferred the door panel from the old door, the glass was intact as well as the mirror, bolted it on and that was done. ordered a new front fender and bolted that on. Sent it to the body shop where they finished straightening the quarter and took minimal filler to get it straight again and finished it up. They ended up painting the whole right side to match the paint. I also bought a used rocker panel ground effect and installed that. I've added some pictures when I bought it so you can see what it looked like when I purchased it. I had a custom stepped dual exhaust system 2 1/2 to 3 inch with stainless Magna flo mufflers along with a set of ceramic coated headers, original exhaust comes with the car, put in a K&N cold air intake and changed a few shift points then took it to the dyno and tuned it using the livewire program correcting the AFR and bumped the timing up a couple of degrees giving it 365 Rear wheel H.P. Everything else is stock on the motor. The car has Pedders suspension with Eibach springs and the urathane body bushings throughout. No airbags needed on the rear. It has  the rare option, smokers group with the ash tray and lighter that has never been used. The rear window is tinted and that has preserved the tops of the rear seats from splitting which is a major problem with these cars along with the stock suspension, Independent rear end. one week before I put the car away for winter I had a four wheel alignment done by a very reputable mechanics shop and everything came into specs. The car runs great and handles perfect with no problems what so ever. Zero rust anywhere the car came from Virginia.The car does has a few minor imperfections in the paint shown in pictures from road use but no dents anywhere, Interior is perfect. The radio works fine except the disc changer does not work. I have driven the car for about 5k miles since being completed. These LS motors are bullit proof. Drive one of these cars and you will quickly find out why so many have been totaled. Not for the meek and mild driver, Put your foot to the floor at 30 MPH and it will downshift, smoke the rear tires and step out from under before you know it you so you better be aiming straight down the road. This is a really nice driving and handling car, just don't disrespect it or it will show you the door, fast.........

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 —  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.  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.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
