US $5,250.00
Year:1996 Mileage:91300
Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

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 tried to list all know issues with the car, giving you a complete disclosure to the best of my knowledge.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
