71 Pontiac Lemans Sport. Original 350 4bbl. Was a console automatic, but was professionally converted to a Muncie 4 speed with a Hayes clutch and Hurst "Quick Throw" shifter.  Starts and runs very strong.  No leaks. Shifts perfectly.  Full new dual exhaust including Hooker headers. Just tuned up including oil change, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and coil.  A blast to drive!

Car has Power steering, manual brakes and originally had air conditioning (all A/C parts come with car, but are not currently installed).

Original color is Oxford White (repainted once), with black interior and black vinyl roof.  The body is very straight as you can see by the pictures.  There is no typical rust in quarters, the trunk and framerails are as solid as day 1. This car has been in the dry southwest its entire life.  Both doors close solidly and do not hang.  Car has never been wrecked.  I added the GTO rear spoiler and GT-37 reflective stripe for curb appeal.  The bumpers are straight and chrome is excellent with no pitting. Tires have over half tread and are in great shape.  Black vinyl top is new!  NOS front grilles and taillights!

Interior is almost perfect.  It has new carpet, shifter, shifter boot, reupholstered seats, and new headliner.  The door panels are great originals with no cracks or fading.  Seats move back and forth perfectly and seat back mechanisms all work along with all front and rear seatbelts.  New windshield and back glass.  All side glass moves up and down great! New dash mat.  New pkg tray.

This car looks and runs great but is not perfect.  The dash is cracked (but has new dash cover), dash has been precut by previous owner for aftermarket stereo (I did not bother installing one since I'd rather listen to the engine), gas guage inop, kick panels were cut for speakers.  The paint is very nice but does have scratches here and there that have been touched up, so from 10ft, it looks great, but to make it a true show car, you will need to detail and maybe repaint somewhere down the road.  For now, this is a fun musclecar to drive and enjoy and not worry if someone leans against it at the drive in, which is the way musclecars were meant to be.

If this were a show queen it would be in the $20k range, but my reserve is slightly less than a third of that!  I have tried to include anything I can think of, but if you have any questions, please call Greg 505-463-5829 lv msg, I will call back.  PS: car has clear title in my name.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

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.
