- Countless Ferraris, Porsches, and other classics will be auctioned during Monterey Car Week.
- This 2008 Pontiac G6 GT Coupe is also going up for grabs.
- It’s fairly unremarkable, but only has 30,278 miles on the odometer.
The Pebble Beach auction scene is absolutely stacked as you can find everything from Indy cars to a 1952 Chrysler Styling Special by Ghia. Bidders can also snap up a 1969 Ford GT40 Lightweight race car, a Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GTs, and a classic Mercedes Gullwing.
While that’s just the tip of the iceberg, there are also a few oddballs up for grabs. One of the most perplexing could be this 2008 Pontiac G6 GT Coupe.

Set to be auctioned by Mecum on August 15, this G6 doesn’t have grandeur, elegance, or exclusivity on its side. It’s not even the lukewarm GXP variant or a hardtop convertible. However, it does have a mere 30,278 miles (48,728 km) on the odometer.
It remains to be seen if that will entice bidders, but the coupe has a clean CarFax and appears to be in pretty good condition. While details are scant, the model has a silver paint job and chrome five-spoke wheels.

Moving inside, there’s a 2+2 interior with black leather seats and tons of black plastic. They’re joined by a three-spoke steering wheel and the occasional metallic flourish. Judging by old brochures, the model also comes with air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and a AM/FM radio with a CD player.
While the G6 Coupe isn’t fondly remembered, Pontiac’s marketing team promised customers would be “seduced by power” thanks to a 3.5-liter V6 with 219 hp (163 kW / 222 PS) and 219 lb-ft (297 Nm) of torque. It was paired to a four-speed automatic transmission as “performance calls out to be unleashed.” The model also has a “sport-tuned” FE2 suspension with thicker stabilizers and an enhanced steering rack bushing.
The car is being offered without reserve, but there’s no auction estimate. However, Kelly Blue Book suggests it’s worth less than $8,000. Of course, those valuations are questionable for older, low mileage vehicles.
