2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong. The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

* * * The 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am stands as one of the final, most refined iterations of a nameplate that had defined American muscle for over three decades. By 2001, the fourth-generation Firebird was nearing the end of its run, with production ceasing in 2002, giving these late models a bittersweet, swan-song quality among enthusiasts.

The Trans Am WS6 brought serious performance to the table, powered by GM's 5.7-liter LS1 V8, producing 325 horsepower. The T-Top configuration—twin removable glass roof panels—offered a taste of open-air driving without sacrificing the structural rigidity of a true convertible, making it a favorite among buyers who wanted both practicality and flair.

Aesthetically, the 2001 model featured aggressive body cladding, functional hood scoops, and the wide rear styling cues that made the Firebird instantly recognizable.

This example was purchased new from Arnold Buick Pontiac Saab in West Babylon, New York. It features an aftermarket head unit, headers, and an SLP air box.

This 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
