Pontiac: Trans Am Ws6 on 2040-cars
Marina Del Rey, California, United States
2002 sunset orange metallic T/A WS6 M6 with 46,832 original miles. It has a raptor hood which is known as a WS7 hence the rebadging (as opposed to a WS6). This color combination is very rare and with the black interior and 6 speed manual it is one of, if not the most sought after combination on the F-bodies! Its been always garaged with a fitted cover on it and starts/runs with no problems. The A/C still blows cold as well as it was just recently charged. These are the major upgrades but I’m likely leaving out a few. First, the car has stock internals, never touched. I had plans to dive deeper into the engine but I just haven’t gotten to it yet. -Stainless Steel QTP Headers w/High flow merge collectors and EGR bungs welded on but are currently capped off as the EGR was removed -QTP off-road Y-Pipe -QTP Electric Cutout (bolted on but will need to be wired up or run a wireless) -Magnaflow Catback -O2 sims -Custom ported FAST 90mm painted Intake -Nick Williams 90mm TB -Clear MTI Lid -Smooth Bellows -SLP MAF -K&N Airfilter -MSD Wires -NGK TR6 Plugs -Optima yellow top Battery (new) -Pro 5.0 shifter -Lous short stick -Raptor Shift Light -ZO6 PCV Valley Cover -SLP U.D. Pulley -Billet Fuel Rails -Racetronics Pump (currently not installed) -Raptor Hood (painted body color) -Wings West Front ground effect -20% Tinted Windows -Raptor Decals -Taillight Blackouts -Car Cover -Panhard Rod (not yet installed) -Relocation Brackets (not yet installed) -Strut tower brace (painted body color) -Lower nonadjustable rear Control Arms -Triple Pillar Pod (gauges work fine but arent hooked up as I was planning my build still) with: -Boost gauge -Air/fuel ratio -Water temp gauge -Embroidered Headrests -Euro clear front and rear turn signals -I also just changed the front and rear brake pads and also the front rotors. (Replaced with original parts) I have a never installed full Gemini dual nozzle nitrous wet kit that I bought with everything needed and was one of the best when I bought it. I have well over a grand in this nitrous set up alone and everything is still in its original packaging never installed! Which includes: -Full-unopened kit (One of the packages ripped but everything’s there, see pics) -Custom sunset orange (body color) painted nitrous bottle -Custom rear seat hump mount with built in 860 bottle heater -Trick Performance digital window switch -EFI fuel safety switch -Purge -Ash tray hidden switches There’s also a custom stereo that’s insane and costs close to $10K new! Which includes: -Pioneer flip out screen DVD head unit -2 12in JL Audio W6 Subs -2 JL audio amps (1000/1 and 300/2) -Tsunami 1.2 Farad -Tsunami 2 Farad -12 disc changer -Multiple inline fuses -Custom fiberglass box painted the color of the car. It’s also important to note I do have a clear title (in hand), no accidents, I’m the second owner and have owned it for over 10 years now. No door or dashboard cracks. Power headlights/windows work fine. The tires have about 50% life left but will need a replacement eventually as they are the same ones that were on it when I bought it (not stock tires but new at the time) The paints in very good condition but there are the usual rock chips on the front bumper/ground effect and a scuff on one of the side rocker ground effects that was touched up but nothing major and hard to see since its on the bottom (see pics). I had intentions of putting the wings west side ground effects on so I didn’t get it repainted. Theres a small crack in the paint on the rear spoiler from when I briefly set a heavy box on the spoiler (stupid I know, i wasnt happy...but hard to notice, see pics) Theres also a chip in the paint/fiberglass drive side door and small ding in rear passenger quarter(see pics). The power antenna only goes partially up which is common on these and can be replaced with a universal unit, which many people do. The check engine light (SES light) is current on but only because I took off the EGR system. I still have it if you really want to put it back on, if not a tune would get rid of it easily. The only reason Im looking to sell is because we recently moved from Texas and there just isnt enough room where we are now and the car doesnt get driven very often. Not to mention the wife and I are considering buying a truck so ive got to down size a couple vehicles. I do have some of the original parts also that will go with the car.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
