2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 – 6-Speed Survivor with Just 23K Miles
As the curtain began to close on the legendary Pontiac Firebird series, the 2001 Trans Am WS6 emerged as one of the most thrilling final acts in GM’s muscle car portfolio. This particular WS6, cloaked in factory-original Navy Blue Metallic (paint code WA352E/28), is a textbook example of preservation and performance—a time capsule with just 23,828 actual miles and an impeccable history.
The 2001 Trans Am WS6 was the apex predator of the Firebird line, boasting the WS6 Ram Air Performance and Handling Package. That package transformed the already potent Trans Am into a street machine with extra attitude. Under the functional dual hood scoops sat the numbers-matching 5.7L LS1 V8, GM’s celebrated small-block powerplant that delivered 325 horsepower in WS6 form. This example retains its original stock exhaust system, including the manifolds, crossover pipe, catalytic converters, muffler, and tailpipes—an increasingly rare sight in the modern era of modifications.
Backing the LS1 is the Borg-Warner T56 six-speed manual transmission, a favorite among performance purists, paired with a 10-bolt rear end and aluminum driveshaft. The car also features power four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, factory rack-and-pinion power steering, and front and rear sway bars, all of which make it feel as athletic as it did in 2001. The suspension and steering components have been verified to be in excellent condition.
The Trans Am’s road manners are matched by its well-appointed, all-original black leather interior (code 19I). Inside, drivers are treated to bucket seats, a Monsoon AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, tilt column, and a functional power decklid release. Power accessories abound: windows, locks, mirrors (note: adjustment switch not currently operational), and a power driver’s seat with manual recline. Even the factory T-Tops remain intact, inviting open-air excitement on demand.
Riding on factory-correct 17-inch WS6 alloy wheels wrapped in new BFGoodrich G-Force 275/40 tires, this Trans Am connects you to the road with confidence. Underneath, it’s as clean as the topside—solid, original, and showing minimal signs of wear.
This vehicle has enjoyed a pampered life in New York with just two meticulous owners over 24 years. According to the CarFax, it has never been in an accident, shows no signs of structural damage, and was consistently maintained with routine safety inspections and emissions testing throughout its life. It most recently passed inspection at 22,900 miles, just before being acquired by PC Classic Cars.
The WS6 performance package, low miles, unmodified mechanicals, and clean ownership history make this 2001 Pontiac Trans Am an exciting glimpse into the last golden age of American muscle. It represents one of the final chapters in Pontiac’s legacy of performance, bridging old-school power with modern refinement.
