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???? |

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
