Vehicle Description
We all know that big horsepower and small price adds up to lots of
fun, but few cars delivered the bang for the buck of the late-model
F-body. This red-hot 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is one of
those rare, 100% stock and unabused specimens and shows an
incredibly low 28,925 miles and only 2-owners since new, so you
know it was never anyone's daily driver. If you missed your chance
to get one of these bad-ass cars 20 years ago, here it is
again!
There's no mistaking the fourth-generation Trans Am, with its
hidden headlights and twin nostril hood force-feeding the LS1 V8
underneath. Finished in electric Bright Red, the optimum color
choice for a Trans Am, this modern muscle-coupe looks like a
million bucks set on fire. It still has that predatory curb appeal
after all these years, with a timeless design that made it an
instant classic and catapulted it to muscle-car cult favorite
during a time when most American automakers were more concerned
with MPGs than HP ratings. Still as shiny as it was at the turn of
the century, this F-body has been properly maintained and shows
little evidence of having been driven hard, in fact it barely looks
like it's been driven at all, which makes sense as it's barely
logged over 1K miles every year since new. Other than a few minor
swirl marks left behind after car washes (could you blame anyone
for wanting to rub on this beauty every weekend?) there are
virtually no signs of use, and even those could be remedied with a
buff-and-wax. The Trans Am WS6's ultra-aggressive front fascia with
those trademark fog lights really gets the party started up front,
the sculpted, scooped, and flared profiles are one-of-a-kind even
in the F-Body game, and the muscle-toned rear end with integrated
spoiler and dual exhaust cut-outs is the last thing most
challengers will see as this coupe goes flying by. With the
headlights flipped down, the honeycomb taillights lit up red, and
the T-tops off and stored behind the rear seats, there aren't many
better-looking cars out on the road.
GM installed sporty, light-gray leather buckets when it was built,
and they naturally remain well preserved in this low-mile Trans Am.
The supportive bucket seats are both grippy in the corners and
comfortable for all-day drives. Usually, these cars start to show
lots of wear on the driver's bolster, but it's clear that someone
was exceptionally careful whenever they got in and out of the car,
because it's still quite nice with barely any comfort marks to even
speak of. GM Light-gray upholstery tended to discolor throughout
the years, but in this Pontiac all the soft stuff is very uniform,
super-clean, and about as clean as you'll ever see in a 23-year-old
vehicle. Carpets, door panels, and the dash and center console are
all great, and it appears that the back seat has never been used.
All Trans Ams had round A/C vents and orange lighting on the dash,
giving it a very high-tech look, and all Trans Ams came only one
way: loaded. That means cold A/C, power windows, power locks,
cruise control, tilt wheel, traction control, ABS, dual airbags,
and power seats, plus keyless entry. Everything works as it should
on this one-heck, even the floor mats are correct, and the 6-speed
manual shifter inside the center console practically taunts the
driver to go bang through the gears. A powerful Pontiac Monsoon
AM/FM/CD stereo with built-in equalizer sounds awesome, even at
full bore with the T-tops off, but at that point you'll probably
want to enjoy the V8's song anyway.
The 5.7L LS1 V8 engine became famous overnight, and anyone who
worried about the passing of the small block torch need not have
been concerned. Its aluminum construction shaved precious pounds
from the nose of the car, while it cranked out more power than any
small block in history with a factory-rating of 320 horsepower.
100% stock under the hood with signs of scheduled maintenance seen
throughout, the engine bay of this car is like an anatomy textbook
for future restorers - with original markings, fasteners, and
decals still in factory fresh condition. The 6-speed manual
transmission snaps off quick shifts, but with an overdrive gear
this is still a great cruiser and if you can somehow keep your foot
out of it (good luck), the LS1 can pull down more than 20 MPG on
the highway. Underneath, it's obvious that this car has not seen
foul weather as it's incredibly solid and only shows minor surface
scale, and it wears factory chrome wheels wrapped in 275/40/17
Kumho performance radials.
History tells us that the cars that collectors cherish are often
the ones with the lowest mileage, so here's your second chance to
own an American icon. Documented with its original window sticker,
dealer invoice, factory buildsheet, maintenance records, and a
clean vehicle history report, this is one special Trans Am WA6.
