Just consigned from a private collection is this highly-collectible ’91 Firebird Formula WS6 with only 72.5k miles. This car came from the factory with great performance – which has been further enhanced with aftermarket performance parts. This car will satisfy your need for speed! And the brilliant Radiant Red color with  the ’86 Trans Am hood with air scoop and louvers will definitely get you noticed! The car has a nice stance and great street appearance. It runs and handles great. Everything works except the AC (which needs to be charged and wired). FLY IN AND DRIVE HOME.

The performance modifications were made mostly in 2010-2011 and the receipts come with the car including the motor build receipts. The current owner/collector is selling this vehicle from his collection as his tastes have changed. This is definitely a chance to purchase a performance sport car at a very reasonable price.

Body: The body is super-solid and clean. It all retains all-original sheet metal except for the customized ’86 Trans Am hood (the owner has the original hood which was not painted when the car was painted 2 years ago but will be included with the sale of the car at the buyer's option - any extra shipping costs not included). The body looks great! No repairs or accidents from what I can tell. No dents or rust. The red paint is vivid with a nice shine and great depth. Body gaps are nice and tight.

Interior: Interior has looks nice with gray cloth side-bolstered seats in nice condition except for the typical wear spot on the driver’s side from getting in and out of the car. The panels, headliner and carpets are in good shape. The dash is in nice shape. The gauge lenses are clear and intact. AEM digital gauges on A-pillar. All the gauges and electrical components work.

Drivetrain: This fuel-injected 383 stroker motor has been modified for serious performance. It was built in 2011 and the owner has the receipts from the build. It is a 4-bolt main block with Eagle pistons & rods, cast crank and aluminum TrickFlow heads. This is a full roller motor – roller lifters, roller cam and rocker rockers. The cam is a 500 lift steel billet cam. Holley stealth ram intake, MSD Eng & Acell DFI computer. It is all controlled by a Thruster Control Computer which is Fully Laptop Programmable. 1-7/8” ceramic-coated Doug's Longtube Headers. Custom 2.5" dual stainless steel exhaust with x-pipe & Borla mufflers. 700R4 transmission with 8” converter / 3500 stall. Aluminum drive shaft. The rear end is a 7.625. 10-bolt with 3:90 gears & Detroit Tru-Track slip differential with 30-spline axles. The engine does not smoke or make any unusual noises and has awesome power. The transmission operates very nicely with quick, snappy shifts in all gears!

Undercarriage: Is in excellent condition, no cracks or damage. Subrame ties. BMR K-member, tubular A-Arms and adjustable panhard bar along with adjustable torq arm and upper and lower tubular control bars. 4-wheel disc 11” brakes with drilled & slotted rotors. SBC calipers in front & stock calipers in the rear. Cooper tires are in nice condition.

Options: From the factory this car was equipped with…power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, power trunk lid, am/fm stereo with CD player and air conditioning.

Items to Note: The air conditioning is not wired up to the pump and also needs to be charged. The hood has some cracks where the scoop was molded on. Passenger-side tail light lens has a small crack. The car has no catalytic converters and therefore will not pass emissions tests required be certain counties. Buyer is responsible for compliance with any emissions requirements if applicable.

Car comes with clear Ohio title and keys.

Shipping: Shipping is the winner’s responsibility. I can help with local shipping and work with your shipper. If shipping out of the country I do have a shipper that can help make your arrangements. He ships mostly to the Scandinavian countries.

If you are requesting additional pictures please send me your email address. Ebay will not let me add any more pictures to the ad.

Consigned: This car has been consigned to me for sale, but I am not the owner. I have made my best effort to accurately represent the car based on my extensive car expertise, what I have observed in evaluating it and preparing it for sale, and what I have been told by the owner, but this is the extent of my knowledge.

If the terms of this auction are not adhered to, the car will be immediately relisted.

I am not responsible for any fees, or taxes or any out-of-pocket costs. Buyer is responsible for all state, county, city taxes and fees, as well as title/registration fees in the state that the vehicle will be registered. No warranty, sold as is. Vehicle has a clear Ohio title.

Will not ship but will try to work with you if you hire a shipping company. However, since this is my residence, arrangements will have to be made for the shipping company to pick up the car when I can be home to attend it. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and related arrangements and payments. Vehicle must be paid in full before it leaves my premises and I assume no responsibility for damages incurred after leaving my premises.

Remember when placing a bid you are entering a legally binding contract. Ask all of your questions and/or come see the vehicle before you commit by bidding, because a bid is a commitment to purchase. Dishonest bid retractions will be reported to eBay and will result in you being blocked from bidding on any future auctions. As you can see by my feedback (100% positive), I describe my items accurately. I have sold other vehicles on eBay to happy purchasers.

Good luck and happy bidding!

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How 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?

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.
