1983 Pontiac Manufacturer Promo – The Excitment Pontiacs!
General Motors excitement division, surely boosted that claim with such statements as “fun to drive”, “distinctive”, and “world class”. Take a look at this rare footage, of the furor that was Pontiac for 1983. From the baby J2000 and Sunbird (when it was only called that sans roof!), the Phoenix SJ, Pontiacs reply to its corporate cousin X-11. When was the last time you saw a Phoenix of this era, let alone a manual SJ model?
The 6000 STE, which stood for “Special Touring Edition” which demanded the most advanced Pontiac to date, and of course the legendary Firebird, and Firebird Trans Am, that apparently wins races (ironically) without moving! Take those accolades as you will, this video is simply a time capsule, capturing a time less than epic for the domestic auto industry!

OMG the Phoenix SJ!!
isn’t she spectacular?
I want all of these in my driveway with the STE being the LEADER!
I love the ste, but i think my first choice would be the SJ. I have never seen one in person, sooooo……!
YES; all of these in a garage with a ton of other low mileage gems?! my list is endless.
low mileage to begin with, but driven no question!
Oh of course!
the soundtrak aint halfbad either 😉
THANK YOU, i felt the same way!
I have a 6000 STE with that original accessory pack, with everything in it. I’ll agree that it is a worthy challenger for the European cars of the time, although it wasn’t quite as sophisticated with its carburetor.
good point!
Awesome video TDJ, thanks for uploading it! Love the 80’s Pontiacs….and damn, wish I could get my hands on a copy of the music for this video.
Me too, some of it had a very CHiPS essence to it! I forgot how far the disco ero reached!
Yeah, CHiPS w/a dash of 70’s porn…..poor taste but I’m sure you catch my drift. Great videos TDJ, always a treat to visit your site bro.
thanks! I remember as a child loveing CHiPS, particularly the pursuit scenes, and the subsequent wreckage. I watched an episode recently and it was still pretty good!
OH YEAH DISCO SOUNDTRACK FROM THE 70S BABY I LIKE PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM,PONTIAC GRAND PRIX,PONTIAC SUNBIRD GT TURBO AND GRAND AM TURBO MODERN MUSCLE CAR FROM THE 80S AND EARLY 90S ERA 😀
stay posted, i have more of these gems!
The background music sounds like the music they’d play during nightclub scenes in the Buck Rogers TV series.
When Pontiacs looked cool. Love them 80s styles. The music rocks too, where can I find this soundtrack?
Love the little Phoenix! I’d buy one in a second!
