The Pontiac Firebird nameplate was discontinued after the 2002 model year, with the final fourth-generation introduced for the 1993 model year. Now, this like-new 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is up for grabs in a new online auction.
This 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 was originally delivered to Pitre Buick-Pontiac-GMC in Scottsdale, Arizona, but was later moved to Canada and Arkansas before the current seller acquired it in November 2021. The vehicle now resides in Dallas, Texas.
The exterior of this muscle-bound Pontiac is covered in Pewter Metallic paint, and features removable glass roof panels, as well as 17-inch polished five-spoke wheels wrapped in 275/40 Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber. The front end sports a set of pop-up headlights and large integrated fog lights, while in back, we spot a rear deck-lid spoiler and dual exhaust.
Moving into the cabin, this Pontiac Firebird is equipped with Ebony leather upholstery, which covers a set of bucket seats with adjustable lumbar support. There’s also air conditioning, a Hurst shifter, and a full Monsoon Premium Sound System with CD changer.
Pop that bulging hood, and you’ll find a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8 rated at 325 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited-slip differential. This particular example was also upgraded with the WS6 Ram Air Performance and Handling Package, which includes goodies like a new intake and power steering cooler.
All in all, this Pontiac Firebird Trans Am looks pretty clean, although the listing does indicate that there is minor corrosion on some underside surfaces. The sale also includes the original window sticker, which lists retail at $32,160.
As of this writing, the current highest bid of 10 placed is $27,500, with five days left in the auction. Find it at Bring A Trailer.

IMHO, one of the best looking cars of all time. My cousin still has his 2002 WS6 TA (Black, T-tops, 6-speed, ~18,000 miles w/ bolt-ons). These cars are legendary! Beautiful!!!
Really? Even with that double set of nostrils on the front?
I always thought these looked ridiculous.
The Firehawk version did it right with one single, larger opening all nicely integrated between the fascia and hood. I always wanted one of those…
@ Len
From ’93 to ’02, the Firehawk always had two “nostrils” (’98 not included, since none were produced). The “nostrils” were smaller than the WS6, but they were still there, in order to feed the Pontiac Ram-Air 5.7L. Prior to ’93, the Firehawk simply had a bulge on one side of the hood (no nostrils).
With this being said, the car that had one single scoop was the Camaro SS from ’96 to ’02. Actually, in ’96 it was called the Z/28 SS for that one year only. From ’97 on, it was simply called the SS.
I meant one single nostril on each side, two total. Not the four nostrils from the standard WS6.
IMHO=In my honest opinion
Appearance has always been subjective and will always be subjective. No two people on Earth will share the same opinions.
U must drive a prius
That’s what ur mom said about you while she gave me a hand party.
Very nice. Formulas were great looking, too
I’ve never been much of a sports car type, but that’s a nice looking car. I’ve had brothers and friends who have had Camaro’s and other high performance cars, but not me. Yet when it came to the Camaro vs. Firebird/TA, there was just something nicer about the Firebird.
One of my favorite cars when I was in highschool. Almost bought one, got a first gen CTS-V instead for practicality reasons
Special ordered a New Formula WS6 with the 1LE package back in 1997…It is the last of the true stripper cars (Base cloth interior…6 Speed manual trans NO power accessories or extra creature comforts) Has hardcore Factory suspension/brake upgrades…With the addition of 1LE and the deleted Comforts Knocked $4000 off of the price from a loaded WS6 Trans Am …At the time you couldn’t beat the performance for the cost…Still have it today…
I knew Pontiac was riding on borrowed time when gm gave the Firebird the ax.
I own a 1999 NB Camaro SS with 60k miles brand new and the auction price is high IMO. But if you get a chance to own a good condition 1998-2002 4th gen, buy it. I don’t know why, but they are a blast to drive. Even more of a blast when modified.
I will say, this car looks like its been wrapped in cellophane all these years.
BTW, many have swapped out for LS3 and LS7 motors, tranny, rearend and upgraded the suspension, and these are easy low 11sec or high 10sec cars.
I’ll settle on my 2000 SS Convertible with 220,000 miles on it.
Fun GM Facts…
This car’s engine doesn’t Self-Destruct and this was before GM made Ignitions that Killed you and your loved ones, then lied about it.
I worked for Walker Pontiac in 97 and had to DX a Gran Prix and bring back a 97 Trans Am ws6! I came back around the beltway here in the DC area, and I it flying! Nice car! Good times!
Looks great and from what I’ve read, the engine should be good for 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. But at 22 years, I would expect most of the original rubber bushings, hoses and tires (unless they’ve been replaced) to deteriorate rapidly if one were to start driving it regularly. Be prepared for those expenses…
Let me guess that firebird trans am came from Redding California from Palo cedro from a dude named Chris who sold it I know how much that car went for it that car was going to go down in history as the drug dealer car I know because my mom had that car she sold it for $3500 hundred after she blew up the engine in it and if anything if it’s the same car I think it is I know I put a dent in the inside from a 9-in death Hill because the car was supposed to be mine but was gone back on the deal anyways if it’s the car I think it is I know there was a major on the body and the whole engine was bad. But I watch my car get loaded up on the back of a trailer and hold off same exact year the t-top with a V8 with a Corvette engine in it 6 speed to 75
I have a 2001 WS6 looks exactly like this one. Pristine condition. 26k miles.
