Interesting discussion. Do you know anyone who has one of these cars? How many were built? Great research Aaron. Thanks
......from Aaron
Here is a Carl Black / GMMG WS6 conversion #0071. No maple red WS6 's were ever built by GM. Carl Black was having Matt convert base Trans Am's into WS6 cars and apparently in rare colors as well.
I know this deal was the start of Dealer builds for Matt. Shortly after this ...Berger approached him to do the 2000 Berger SS.

Haven’t heard about these cars.
I know he was involved with the Hendrick Camaro’s.
I know Matt did a WS6 Red Convert for John G.....Phase IIX/475hp
A black GMMG Firehawk (now out east)
a red (?) WS6 for a worker - Fotis
This will be interesting to research.

Jim....I'm aware of the Jacky Jones car. The cars I'm taking about were done in 1999- through early 2001. There were many built.

The car was built for John Fullerton @ Jacky Jones Pontiac GMC. I’m sure John can enlighten us. April 2008 is the date on the paperwork.
John G. (Wisconsin or ILL?) owns/owned 1999 WS6 Matt built. Wasn't he the guy JD found on TV wearing the GMMG T-Shirt & auction buying the black Charger?
If you look @ Kings Chariot web site I think they might have the car now??? Call John G. & see if he still has the car or Kings Chariot? As far as I know this is 1 of only 1. Be sure & say hi for me.
John called me one year when I was in the car on the Power Tour & we visited a long time.............
Hi Jim,
John G. , we spoke on the phone when you were on the power tour. I am the owner of the Red Jacky Jones phase IIX car. (it lives in WI. too)
Quick question, I need a new clutch.
1. what clutch is in our cars? is it stock
2. what clutch would you go with and how much should that cost installed?!???
3. what do you think of putting a centerforce dual puck clutch in it?
thanks in advance,
John
