Pontiac was still in the business of building the mid-size G6 sedan two decades ago, a car that lasted roughly six years before the lights went out for good. Most have been consigned to the scrap heap of memory, but one is about to surface at auction, and this one has a story.

This particular Pontiac G6 was unveiled by Roush Industries at the SEMA Show in 2004. It received a host of upgrades, including an AEM cold air intake for the 3.5-liter V6 and a new exhaust system with dual tailpipes to back it up.
To stand out at a show where the G6 was never going to be the loudest thing in the room, the sedan wears Merles Opus Orange Yellow paint, a custom hood, reworked front and rear fascias, and a rear lip spoiler. It also sits on a set of aftermarket 19-inch wheels clad in Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Mecum Auctions is putting the car under the gavel at its Nashville sale on September 26. The ownership trail since SEMA hasn’t been disclosed, and Mecum hasn’t published a confirmed mileage figure. The odometer in the photo shows 90 miles (145 km), though that may be a trip reading rather than the true total. Either way, the exterior is in remarkable shape, with the paint still catching the light the way it did on the SEMA stand.

Roush also made several tweaks to the Pontiac’s interior. For example, it includes new black-and-yellow leather Sparco seats at the front, as well as yellow accents on the dashboard and oil-pressure and temperature gauges on the A-pillar. There are also Roush floor mats, a DC Sports front strut bar, and Eibach lowering springs to give it a more aggressive stance on the road.
The Pontiac isn’t the only piece of Roush history crossing the block at this auction. The same sale includes a 1995 Shelby Cobra Mustang SVT Cobra R, a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra SCCA Trans-Am race car, and a 1926 Ford Model TT. If the Pontiac G6 has your attention, the listing is here.
