Houston, Texas, United States

Up for auction is one 1996 Trans Am WS6 Firebird with approx 91k miles:

Car does not have current TX inspection/registration (Exp in Feb/13) as I bought a new vehicle and let it lapse, but I can assure it will pass (no emmisions/MIL issues).

Note that previous owners were in military, so the title transfer count (estimated owners) reflects the re-title for moves around country (base to base).

Here is a quick video on YouTube, simple walk around of the car while idling: http://youtu.be/OaSnBqLphhM

Good:

  • Low Mileage (91k) WS6 Trans AM (badge delete), 2 Owners, Clear Blue TX title, and not abused
  • Ram Air hood/intake - original to car
  • Runs great, no issues with startup, idle, or highway driving - never raced, adult driven, no engine smoke, ready to drive
  • Freshly installed Racetronix/Walbro LT1 Fuel pump kit (old pump died, upgraded and added trap door access from trunk area)
  • 4 x New BFGoodrich Radial g-force Super Sport tires - 275/40ZR17 (98W) with only 8500 miles on them
  • 4 X American Racing Rims - great shape, no damage to lip, some light scuffs to finish from regular wear.  (Original 17" WS6 rims NOT included in auction)
  • Custom Stainless Oval exhaust tips
  • K&N Air Filter
  • Mobile 1 Oil Changes regularly in car
  • Full maintenance records on vehicle that I have provided in sale

Bad:

  • Both driver/passenger side Window Motors need to be replaced, drivers better than passenger - but can get stuck
  • Driver side power seat works, but is stuck in reverse - removed the relay so its currently in one position (easy fix, but I don't have time)
  • A/C line has leak - compressor works, however charge will be lost - part is approx $70, including costs to evacuate, charge/labor ~ est $300 to repair
  • Windshield wipers Park is not working, puts blades vertical if stopped - this is typical problem and requires a metal tab to be fixed or replacement of the mechanism
  • Front valence has paint/crack damage and visible crack on driver side fog light rim from impact (road debris) - ideally would need some glass patching/repaint
  • Coolant Overflow/Tank has leak - no problems with radiator, only the tank seems to have leak - replacement available online ~ est $60 for part to repair
  • Some small chips on hood/valence from highway rocks/pebbles - typical for a car of this age (see pictures)
  • Paint does have typical spider marks on front nose fascia and right/left rear bumper area - not noticeable at distance.
  • Few small dings on car, again typical for car of this age

Sale:

Car is sold as-is with no implied warranty, I can deliver the vehicle within 50 miles of downtown Houston, TX unless otherwise negotiated prior to auction end.

I am a reliable seller, have sold several cars on ebay/craigslist and looking only to complete a transaction with 100% positive feedback - so please contact/message me if you have any questions/concerns prior to bidding.

I also reserve the right to terminate the auction early if local sale is made first.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
