Default WS6 Phoenix edition?

Hey there guys, i was heading to my campus today and saw a 96 black ws6 for sale. i stopped in to check the car out and the guy who is trying to sell it comes out and tells me its an incredibly rare car because its a WS6 Phoenix edition. Personally never heard of it, anyone know what its about? just wanna know if he is pulling my chain because as soon as he said 10 grand i walked away. wondering if its worth my time to try and negotiate

No such thing....sounds like an "owner upgrade" package.

Or maybe the dealer who sold it to him pulled his chain too.

No such thing as a Phoenix according to the Standard Catalog of Firebird but there was a rare Harley Davidson version made that year (40 made). The WS6 was first made in 1996 which makes it special with a total of 2,051 built with 305 HP vs regular T/A at 285 HP. Nice car and probably not a whole lot of survivors out there in decent shape.

I'm guessing you mean the "Ram Air" package on the 4th Gens. My '84 T/A had the WS6 package, as did my '88 GTA.

Um my 1979 was a ws-6 also

BTW for anyone who wants to know, the ws-6 started in 1978.

4th generations w/ram air package. I think that is all the thread starter is interested in since he asked about a '96.

HD Trans Am looked pretty killer to me. Add some gold pinstriping and voila! Bandit Trans Am!

Oh, and add gold WS6 snowflakes, too!
