This commercial is good for laugh. I always had a thing for the Pontiac 6000 when I was growing up. At what point does a car become old enough to be cool again?


Of course I liked the white LE model.

Not sure if Danny is serious?! 0_o

Mais voici une petite histoire du Pontiac 6000 1990 3.1 V6 Multiport automatique que un de mes chums avais acheter pour un gros 400$ lol
Ce char la est vraiment INTUABLE c'est terrible. On s'acottais sur le muret du Mcdonald's a Dorion avec pi on fesais des burnout de l'enfer,battu au drag et torché mutiples Civic avec cette chiasse la! J'ai jamais vue un char se faire torturé autant que ce Pontiac 6000 la! Ca jamais pris d'huile,ni de prestone et quand il l'avais acheter y'avais 325 000 kilometres!
La seule chose qui a mis dessus en 1 ans et demi c'est une pompe a gaz neuve THAT'S IT! Pas de spark plug,ni de fillage rien rien rien! Ce char la est la définition d'un tank! Sans plus! Il a due l'envoyé a scrappe a cause que y'a pogné une inspection mécanique a cause qui avais un muffler glass pack cherry bombe dessus et le grillage avant etais tout décalissé!
Pas mal sur que le char aurais toffé une autre année comme ca!! Good old GM cars... Gotta love'em! haha :D
 
Pffft I raise you all it's A body sibling.. The Celebrity VR

My aunt had a Celebrity.. It rotted away after 5 years! My dad had a 6000 that was always broken from what I remember, 89 LE y0! Thank god it was a lease and replaced with a 92 Bonneville SSEI.
 
Personnellement dans la gamme de la série A-Body de GM j'aime vraiment mieux le Buick Century T-Type!
Eux venais avec les premier 3800 SFI Pre-Series 1,suspention sport et beaucoup d'équipement.
Beaucoup plus beau aussi! Mais bon y'en reste pus pentoute de ses char la ou presque pas!
Eux leur faiblesse ils pourrissais sur les connection des trailing arms arriere et l'axle beam arrachais!
Ca me rappel mon vieux Cutlass Ciera S 1990 avec le 3300 V6 :(

My step father used to have a 1988 Celebrity Eurosport poilce pack! C'étais rare comme de la marde a pape!
Front/rear oversized swaybars,'sport' tuned suspention,et 2.8 Multiport HO de 160 HP au lieu de 125 HP.
C'étais de bon char dans leur temps! Ensuite ils ont été remplacé part les W-Body 1st gen.... eurrk...

Back in those days if you owned a garage you made serious money fixing these clunker American cars.. CV joints, fuel pumps, ignition modules, Ball joints, alternators or the famous trans modulator by pass. W body weren't horrible but that stupid leaf spring rear suspension was always awkward along with the Peugeot rear calipers that never worked..

It's funny how you still see a good amount of these on the roads but nothing late 80s/early 90s GM...

The Accord overtook Taurus sales in the mid 90s once all first gen Taurus were in the junkyard.. The same for GM and Chrysler cans.
 
The CB7 Accord is the car that put Honda on the map for the normal people in North America. It proved that a car could be reliable and last forever!

at least 15 years after they are too cheap and fragile to be use as a taxi in Montreal so in 4-5 years they should be cool again
 
There is a 90 year old woman who comes to my work with an 80s 6000 that has something like 10,000kms on it, if not less, in mint showroom condition. It's not a nice looking car, but there's something to be said about how great it looks at that age.
 
this thread is great. I have an intake manifold and 4 bbl carb for 2.8/3.1 if anyone feels the need to get one of these fuckers. Biggest POS oil pump deaths left right and center, but I still want one. The 2.8 and stroked 3.1 sound funky and the 6000 look odd too.

Then the soccer mom in a new Sienna passes you like your standing still...

you remind me of a person that would drive an early 90s Astro around thinking it was the coolest thing ever...

Ben tant mieux pour toi man! :D
Moi j'aime les vieux char,la vielle mécanique,la simplicitée et les couts d'entretien presque donner.
Toi tu m'fait pensé a un vieux sec qui pense qui a toujour raison et toujour toute vue dans vie,mais dans dans l'font t'es juste un hater qui est pas capable de respecté les choix des autres parce que t'es trop colon!
 
Gregster doesn't understand the appeal of cars with character.




As for the whole swap thing, I would never put money into modding an FF car though. that's just stupid. the only way I'd buy a 6000 is finding a fantastic deal in a mint one, drive for a bit, and flip it on the VAQ guys for par or profit.
