Every where here close on july 5, so no work for me today.

This car have full short header ( I wish it was long header ) with OR-Y pipe , and unknow exhault . but sound good.

OHVC wire set, and smoog pump delete. Unknow after market suspention, look yellow shock and strut, too dirty could read the name of the shock, handle really good.

PRO 5.0 shifter, GM clutch ( 500 miles ).

Hyper tune ( should I keep this ? im thinking restore it back to stock and sell the tuner programer , I just wonder any one have one of these programer )

the HPP works good for changing things like the fan setting, rev limiter, gear/tire changes etc. Id keep it until you need a real tune.

look in the console for the sticker with all of the 3-digit option codes. If it is a 1LE, the code will be listed there. Basically a 1LE is a stripper Camaro. It meant a lot in the 3rd gens because the option added MUCH bigger brakes and a bunch of other stuff. The option doesn't change a whole lot for the base 4th gen car, but they only made 48 of them in 1997. It deletes the foglamps, power windows, power locks. There will be a unique front piece with slots in it where the fog lamps would have been.

Then he take off the ad off craiglist. on friday he put up again and he list for $3600. After few min I call him up and he say 3500 is low I can go, I told him I only have $3300. then he stop call me , few hours later, he call me back and say he say " if this person not come pick up the car tonight, I sell it for $3300 ), I was loosing hope, few hours later I call him and he say " the person never came, I keep my word and sell it to you for 3300 " I told him I come tomorrow after work, next day I was ready come go drive 3 hours trip, he call me say " the guy support to come last night, he call me and say he coming today pick up the car for, but I told him I have some out out off state coming today, the guy yell at him and say " I PAY YOU $3600 !! ), but the seller keep his word to me and hold the car for me.

wow it does look nice and match the rest of the interior, does your camaro have plug connector that let you plug your power seat in ? or you have to make it your own ?

Thanks, and its very comfortable i like it better than cloth.

Yup, under the seat if you look there is a connector coming out of carpet, that will plug right into power seat. All 93-02 F-body come with it as far as i know.

another couple notes on the 1LE's is that they had cloth seats and were hardtops and a basic 6 (?) speaker sound system

I thought the RPO codes on the '97 would be in the driver's side door jam, IIRC?
