Firebird Formula WS6, Ram Air's are very rare. Only 1102 Formula Ram Air Coupe were made over 4 years(1997-2000) time span. 175 were made in 1999(compared to over 30,000)Trans AM Coupes with WS6, Ram Air , over 7 model years) CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO SEE THIS CAR, YOU MUST BID AND PURCHASE WITHIN EBAY RULES. The heart of this vehicle is the WS6 Ram Air, LS1, V8, with 320 horsepower (HP was not exaggerated as it is today, research the dyno info. for this model year), SFI fuel injection. The sound of the exhaust is as unique to this car, as the sound coming from a Harley is to the motorcycle enthusiast. The WS6 is an added package to the LS1 engine, which includes the functional air scoop in the hood, WS6 labeled high polished 17 inch aluminum wheels, Low restriction Dual Exhaust, Special tuned WS6 suspension, power steering cooler, and Z rated Goodyear Eagle tires. The 3.23 ratio rear axle was an added option. In 1999 they were out performing Corvettes at the Drag Strip, so GM had to pacify Vette owners with higher horsepower(and higher price) in future years. The car is also equipped with 4-speed Electronic Auto Transmission, 4-wheel anti lock brakes, and daytime running lamps to warn oncoming traffic to stay in their lane. This "Bird" has rarely seen anything but sunny skies, and a climate controlled garage with car cover. It looks and drives very close to the condition it was brand new, when I drove it from the Car Dealer's Lot.!!!! I am the only owner of this vehicle, and can give you any information you need about the car. I moved from having 5 indoor parking spaces, to another home with 2 indoor parking spaces in my new work location. I need the space in my garage for the family Durango, my F-150, and driveway space for my daughter's car, and my work car. DO YOU HAVE SPACE FOR THIS "RARE BIRD" WS6 RAM AIR???? |

Remember when Pontiac made a Trans Am Kammback grocery getter?
Thu, Nov 8 2018Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
