The cooling fans turn on utilizing a temperature sensor and a relay. When the engine gets to a certain temperature the temp sensor closes and the cooling fans come on. Check fuses first. If you have a 12 volt test light, hook up the test light to the connector that goes to the cooling fans once the engine is warmed up and see if the light comes on. If it doesn't, the problem is in the power to the fans, check fuse, sensor and relay. If the light comes on and the fans don't, check for a proper ground (usually a green or black wire attached to a lug and bolted to the car chassis.

Sunbird GT 3.1 V6 overheats at speeds of 110kmh but does not fully over heat just to the white line under the redline?

Check to make sure you still have a working thermostat in the cooling system I dont thing your coolant is staying in the radiator long enough to release heat. 60 mph might be pushing your luck with that rusted frame though.
