 Up for sale is an absolutely gorgeous 2001 Pontiac Trans-Am WS6.  This car is in amazing condition for its age and mileage.  This one is equipped with the sought after 6-speed manual transmission.  It currently has just over 75,300 miles.  The car has always been garage kept and has never seen any inclement weather.  Here is a list of the options...

-2001 Trans-Am WS6

-6 Speed Manual Transmission

- LS1 Corvette Motor

- T-Tops

- Much desired Red Paint with Black Leather interior

- Upgraded Corvette Z06 wheels with great tire tread(there is not one mark of curb rash at all on the wheels)

- Upgraded Volant Cold Air Ram-Air

 

Now for the bad... The car needs a new short block. The previous owner was driving the car and threw a rod which cracked the side of the block.  I bought the car with the intention of either replacing the short block or just doing a clean swap with another LS1 motor but I have one too many projects going on and am looking to sell the car to someone who will do the repair and really enjoy the car. The car will run but I would not and have not started it since I bought it because obviously I do not want to do any further damage.  I guarantee that you will be hard pressed to find a Trans-Am WS6 with the 6-speed manual transmission in this kind of condition.  If you look at the pictures and check out the door jams its really remarkable how clean it is.   The top end of the motor is still in great shape and can be easily swapped onto a LS1 short block. 

I have set the reserve very low and the car will sell.  Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will do my best to accommodate whatever the buyer needs in regards to shipping.  Please feel free to send any questions along that you have.  My cell phone is synced to my e-mail and I will receive questions immediately and will reply promptly.  I also encourage offers throughout the auction if you do not want to wait until the end of the auction and you have a max price in mind that you will pay the worst I can say is no.  The car is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auctions end.  Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I have bought and sold many cars on here and I do my best to make sure the buyer is happy with his/her purchase.

 

 TERMS OF THE AUCTION:   THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED.  THE BUYER WILL PAY A $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE AUCTIONS END UNLESS ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION.   PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES OR DO NOT INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SALE.  THESE E-BAY AUCTIONS COST MONEY AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR DREAMERS.  PLEASE HAVE ALL FINANCING IN ORDER PRIOR TO WINNING THE CAR SO THE TRANSACTION WILL GO SMOOTHLY AND IN A TIMELY FASHION.  THE CAR SHOULD BE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE AUCTIONS END WITH PAYMENT MADE IN FULL.   AGAIN ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK THEM AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.

 

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There 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.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
