This auction is for a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air WS6. The car has 58k original miles and runs and drives out fantastic! It has the LS1 V8 engine with automatic transmission. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country. The car has a clean title and Carfax. The car has some of the following options on it. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power drivers seat, power lumber seats on both sides, cruise, ICE Cold a/c, remote keyless entry, T-tops. I also added a pict of the RPO options door sticker.
The original bright red paint on the car is in beautiful shape. I would rate it a 9 out of 10. It looks almost wet and 10ft deep it shines so well. Very few small scratches and nicks to speak of. Its been very well maintained and waxed regularly. The only real significant blemish on the exterior is on the rear lower bumper by the rear drivers tail pipe. There is a small crack. It is very hard to notice because it so minor and low on the bumper. (see pict)
The interior of the car is extremely nice as well. It has the dark ebony leather interior that is in very nice shape with very little wear. The leather seats are in great condition. No tears, no cracks, etc. It has the factory Monsoon stereo system with power antenna that sounds outstanding! The door panels on the top edge of both sides are cracked. Something VERY common on these cars. (see pict)
The car mechanically is very sound. Last fall I had the transmission completely rebuilt by a very reputable shop close to me who specializes in these types of transmissions. It has all upgraded internal parts including clutches, band, etc. I also had a TransGo shift kit installed. It shifts very firm and positive under hard acceleration but under normal driving it shifts just like it did from the factory. I also had the rear end serviced with new oil at that time as well.
The car is all stock and original with the exception of an SLP air lid with K&N filter and an Ultra Flo stainless steel replacement muffler. The car sounds identical as it did with the factory muffler. The factory air box will also come with the car. The wheels on the car aren't perfect and have some blemishes. The tires are matching Z rated 275 40 17. The front tires are about 60% the rears are around 25%. The brakes and factory exhaust are also in good shape!
The only 2 issues I know of with the car is it does leak some oil drips on the garage floor. The other is the security light on the dash is on. Im sure it has something to do with the ignition/key switch. The key doesn't fit very tight and will pull out. It has never gave me any kind of a problem and I hadn't gotten around to having that fixed.
I have done my very best to describe this car as detailed as I can and mention and show the imperfections. It isn't perfect but very nice for a 12 year old car. Anyone wanting to see the car in person is welcomed to, just email to set up a time. Car is sold "AS-IS WHERE-IS" with no warranty of any kind. Buyer to pay a $500 deposit through PAYPAL within 24 hours of auctions end. Full payment due in within 7 days of auctions end. This is a NO RESERVE auction!

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."
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
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?
