Good point....parts don't get broken unless people are driving. Good luck to you man. Trust me I am feeling the crunch business has been slow as hell for me too!

My buddy has a 98 SS hardtop/cloth/m6/no power options, or tcs. Just a cd player. He bought it from the orginal owner, who purposely ordered it that way. I guess there are a few out there.

It was probably a order screw-up if it was ordered thru Diamond. They are notorious for short-ordering options for customers. Not much weight-saving on power windows, doorlocks, and keyless remote entry....10-15 lbs.--tops, I'd say. They do have a excellent service manager and a couple of excellent techs there, though...What color is this SS, BTW? Does it have traction control, or no? WJ

There'll be a switch right on the dash if it's got the TCS, Jordan.... If they're going to run the car, hopefully it doesn't.... WJ

Speaking of rare stuff....I am looking for a loaded, 135" std. wheelbase, 1 ton, GMC Savana, or Chevy Express Sport 3500 WINDOW van. That's usually found in passenger van models. Has to have the dark tinted windows all around (both sides and rear doors). Looking for either 5 pass. (1 rear seat), or 8 pass. (2 rear seats). Looking for a used '02 or '03 clean unit--mileage not important, long as it's clean and well-maintained. Has to be a 5.7 or 6.0--no big blocks or diesels. If anyone knows where there's one of these things FS, either private or dealer, please let me know. Just missed a beauty that I was bidding on in Tx. last week. I could afford a small finders' fee... Thanks everyone. p.s. no cargo vans or conversion vans--just the factory passenger vans that are finished off inside, and not the real long 15 pass. 155" wheelbase models. Again, thanks, and sorry for hi-jacking your post, Jordan. WJ

I'm sure the car is rare.But I doubt it is worth any extra as of yet.Maybe in about 30yr's or so. Sounds like you got the perfect car for racing,I'll trade the window setup with you
