Default Stripper getting power??

I'm looking at buying a 2002 Camaro z28 with NO power options at all, doesn't even have fog lights, NOTHING is power on this car. I am also parting out a 99 camaro with power. Would it be possible that the 99 car has everything to make the 2002 car all power (even keyless entry?) TIA!

IMO, i would rather have power windows and locks and fog lights than to save 50 pounds of wieght. I wouldnt see any reason that you couldnt switch everything over.

Do you think the car is like pre-wired for them? Where i could unplug them from a location in my 99 and plug them in, installed in the 02? What about the fuse box? Would it have an allocation for the fuses in it?

Damn dude I didn't even KNOW they made strippers in 2002.

That sucker is unique I would keep it stock. Is it a M6, you could try and see how low in weight you could get it to for hp/lbs of weight.

Yea, infact... its a 2002 with 44K miles, 6spd, cloth, NBM, no power anything, with monsoon and t-tops, he's asking $11,000obo, MIGHT be able to get it for $10K

It's sorta like the Z06 of Camaro's!!!

A C5Z is stripped compared to a fully loaded C5. No power antenna, no telescoping steering wheel, no CD changer etc.

It kinda cool, though I would definately prefer leather seats in a black car.

well... it is NBM not black

and with out the LS6

my purpose for the car would be FULL roadracing suspension and a cage... it'd be a track *****... slicks on all four corners

i don't know that i'd buy a stripper solely with the intention of making it NOT a stripper... seems kind of backwards. that being said, that is a pretty damn good price. if it's going to be a track ***** like you say... screw all the power crap, if you never drive it you'll never use it anyway! the only thing i think would suck would be the locks... you definitely wouldn't be losing out on anything by not having to screw with fbody power windows

Please don't put the power options from the 1999 on the 2002. 1SC (stripper) cars are awesome. I know I love mine.

Mine is kind of weird. The options is came with are: T-tops, chrome rims, rear defrost, CD player. Nothing else.

The only thing that sucks about 1SC cars is the no hatch release button by the light switch. Always have to use your keys.

That's better than HAVING a hatch release button and always having to use your keys anyway because the stocks are toast

i dont think they are that rare.......i have one. Mines a 2002 z28 1SC car. Only option i have is the monsoon sound system. No fog lights, no electric anything, hardtop, cloth seats, no rear defrost, etc. But i'm looking into doing a t-top conversion. I hate not being able to take the tops out when it is beautiful outside!

Well don't I feel all spiffy having an fully loaded Z28.

Kinda stupid though when you look at it. The only 3 options missing were leather, SS sport appearance (spoiler/hood), and the 1LE suspension upgrade; of course no SLP options.

The reason it is stupid is because every single option on the car either broke or was replaced. Window motors, broken; radio blown (buttons even fell of the equalizer); chrome wheels, taken off and replaced with Z06 wheels; I could go over the entire list but I doubt anyone cares.

Hell I would buy that car if you told me the dealership selling it!

The car doesn't have anything on it to break, not even a EGR (mine broke somehow and I had to fix it for inspections).

I think you should do what you want with it. Realistically it is "rare" but the avg. person would think it was rare in a bad way since it is lacking all power options. We aren't driving ferrari's guys

Alot of it is, i think its just almost to good to pass up. a low mileage 2002 z28... good heads, LS6 intake... 6spd... bone stock... and considerably clean. Like I said... it will get tubular everything and a cage and raced atleast once a month or twice a month on a track, all day. But.. driven on the street for a daily... i dunno.

arent you contradicting yourself? if its going to be a total track car, then why would you want things like power windows/locks, defroster, etc etc?? if someone buys a care for the track, they usually take all those things out. if i was building/buying a track car, i would JUMP at the one youre looking at and not do a damn thing for the comfort options. think about it....are you really going to reach down and hit the power window button while youre tearing up a road course?
