Limousine brands are quite artistic when they opt for donor vehicles. Most of our American readers will probably have noticed a lot of limousine models, from Cadillac Escalades to Lincoln Town Cars and even Hummer H1. The similarity between all those vehicles, others they are, is that they are quite sumptuous and have been placed as premium factory deals. The Pontiac 6000 sedan, on the other hand, probably wasn’t.
For this reason, we are a little bit as to why someone would turn the rather forgettable Pontiac medium car into a limousine. That didn’t stop someone from building one, as an elongated Pontiac 6000 was recently announced in San Antonio, Texas, through the Offer Up ad site.
There’s almost no data on this vehicle, unfortunately. The list only indicates that the vehicle is a “Pontiac 6000 limousine” and that the current owner does not have the name because the previous owner knocked it out. However, it appears to be running and driving, as it is represented by a license plate, with the front windows partially lowered and with someone in the driver’s seat. It is also photographed parked on the way.
We wouldn’t blame anyone for not remembering the Pontiac 6000. The 6000, Pontiac’s flagship edition of the A FWD GM platform (Buick Century, Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera) and built between 1981 and 1991. It was had with a 2.5 -L four-cylinder, a 2.8-V or 3.1-L V6 (depending on the model /annual edition) or a 4.3-L diesel V6. The 6000 then defected in late 1991 to make way for the Pontiac Grand Prix.
It is a mystery why someone would need to turn a humble sedan circle of Pontiac’s relatives into an expandable limousine, however, anyone interested can touch the owners on this link.

Well, he’s attractive now. The first one I’ve ever seen. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the small front-wheel drive Chrysler limousine presented at the factory. They were pretty well made and were very attractive limousines for the time. Someone in the motor club I belonged to in IT had (or still has) one in the dark blue. But this 6000 limousine is quite unique.
Why then the Pontiac 6000? The 6000STE competed in opposition to the Audi 5000S, which was the first highly prized sports sedan in the mid-1980s. Hell, even Car and Driver was absolutely seduced, however, that was long before they hated anything and everything from GM.
