I don't think you would have a manual control for ride height and it wouldn't be in the trunk, most likely you have a built in tire pump. There is probably a hose in a compartment or under the trunk floor... still pretty cool AND nice car! Thats the same L44 V6 that powers the Fiero.
I was just wondering if you could take out the chime and replace it with a buzzer from an old Chevy pickup truck and then do a video of this Pontiac with the Chevy truck buzzer?
Sweet! My dad owns a 1988 Pontiac 6000LE Safari station wagon. No rust on it either. He asked me if I wanted the car and I would love to have it lol. Maybe I'll post a vid of it sometime. Nice car again though!
the car raises the rear if theres added weight. automatically I think the button you were pressing is if you wanted to inflate a tire or something using parts from the kit.
Damn dude, NICE score. 2.8HO? Not bad either, those were excellent engines.
As for the oil leak, it was very popular for the 2.8s and 3.1s to blow their oil pump seal, its a VERY cheap fix and maybe and hour or so of work depending on how thrifty you are.
yes it's a very nice car, i'm never going to get rid of it, i love it, but these cars can somtimes develep a massive oil leak, but that won't stop me from keeping it, i will just fix it when and if it happens
@Tbolt1000TForLife Nice Car and way ahead of it's time. Very clean. I've got an 83 STE. Two other places to check for the oil leak is the distributor shaft o-ring and the valve cover gaskets. Dist shaft repair is less well known, but is a cheap and easy fix. Make sure you get the silicone rubber o-ring since original nitrile won't last. They are sold by Dorman- Help! brand usually red.
@Thedge10 thanks for the tip bro, you should make a video of your 83', thats very rare dude, please make a video of it, btw i have a few spots of rust starting to form so i will be doing body work sometime this summer
I like driving the first-gen GM A-body cars. Your Pontiac is loaded to the max. My bros 87 Celebrity has none of those options at all, in fact its as base as can be, it just has A/C and an AM manual radio, lol. I think the Pontiacs were the fanciest out of all of the A-bodies.
The 2.8L gets great gas mileage, when I was driving it, I averaged about 18-20 around town.
yes, these are very nice cars, my 1st favorite is the 6000, my 2nd favorite is the Celebrity, and my 3rd favorite is the cutlass ciera, i say the STE is the best, but the Eurosport is nice too, both use the 2.8L Hi-Output V6 engine, and i get 20 MPG in town, i love this car
hell yeah, i love this car, especially the all digital dash, steering wheel radio controls, driver information center, and the onboard inflator, and absolutly, the V6 for sure sweetens the deal, the car even has a 3 speed automatic, one of the best Engine-Transmisson setups out there

Although unless I get the car from elderly people, I dont think it will have all the records and that cool little kit in the trunk.
