that was an awesome car, my dad also had a 1986 pontiac 6000 ste just like this, only it was burgandy, with tan interior, plus he baught it new that year, he got rid of it back in 1988, and he wishes he still had it, he told me that it was a nice car, i'll bet you wish you wish you still had yours

[videoholicreturns]

Yes, I sure do!! I got rid of it because it had a major oil leak, and I just didn't want to deal with the expense of fixing it. This was a GREAT car!!

This was a nice car. How long did you own it? I don't suppose you know what ultimately happened to it, do you? It's an incredible time warp seeing one of these STEs as it was back in the day. I have a blue 1985 STE that's been in the family since 1987, it's now my car and has over 178k miles on it. I want to keep it on the road as long as I possibly can.

I only had this beaut for 2 years, I replaced it with a 1986 Caddie Fleetwood, a video of which is also up on YouTube. The STE developed a bad oil leak, and I just didn't want to deal with the repair cost. Good luck with your '85!

these were great cars. i wish i could still find them in this condition, but in this climate they are long gone. right now im driving a 91 cavalier with the original 2.2 TBI. 170K on the odometer and still runs excelllent. it came from down south so the body is still pretty good, only 2-1/2 winters. i want to see how many miles i can rake up on this old car before she quits. i did the head gasket and the tranny was rebuilt so im good for a while

[clubcar98]

What a car! I wish I could locate one in good condition...but they are always beat up.

[videoholicreturns]

Oh, God, no, I sold this years and years ago.

@jdichter actually these were very reliable cars, rusted or not, i myself have an 86' 6000 STE and it has almost no rust, just small spots of surface rust, you see, back then primmer with rust inhibitor was very poor, and didn't last long, now it has greatly improved, now it takes many years for rust to form on todays cars, trucks, vans, etc

[jdichter]

You were looking for rust on a three year old car? Where they really that shitty? Wow.. I used to love that car when I was a kid. I can't believe what a shit box it was.

Great cars indeed, GM went on to destroy the rock solid V-6s and to use dexcool causing IM gasket leaks. They also decided to reduce brake quality, front-end component quality and more.
