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????

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.

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.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
