How Rare are Stripper model Fbodys?
It's been a long time fantasy of mine to have to lean across the car to roll the passenger window up and down. Fumbling with the keys in a florida downpour would also be on the top of my list. Maybe 1 day it can come true.

lol my driver side window goes down and up in about 5 minutes, my passenger side requires me to hold the switch on the drivers side AND the passenger side, and it too goes up like a snail haha oh well im just to lazy to change it but i ques i will here this weekend.
Well, I like my 1SD. The rarity of it is what sold me on it, but I don't DD it, nor do I drive it in inclement weather, so I don't have rain/snow/sleet/hail issues.....but I can see how that would suck.
As far as I'm concerned the less power junk on a car the better. My TA is fairly plain as far as they go but I'd love to ditch the power windows. Stripper LT1 Formula/TAs weren't produced in big numbers are hard to find, especially now that they are getting older.
Make me a youtube video of the 10 minute motor swap. Its a good thing everyone carries spares along with all the tools needed to swap one in their car at all times. I could only imagine if you were driving along with your window down and happen upon a florida rain storm to only realize your motor **** the bed and you get to take a shower the entire drive home. I know I would just roll my window up, even if that means REACHING ALL THE ******* WAY to the passenger door. How lazy are you? Oh gawd, no button to do something I want done! My life is overzzzz!!!!

But since you get to brag about having a stripper that saves no weight over the power options it must be worth it.
And it's not that hard to take off the door panel then take out 3 bolts out and replace them with 3 bolts.

Verdad Gallardo Why does it matter how hard to find the car is? It's not like these cars are worth more than 3-4k. LT1's have gone the way of 3rd gens, I can't remember the last time I saw a clean non ragged out one on the road.
If someone was actually looking for a stipper Pontiac in good condition you would be in for quite a hunt. There were 810 base (Y82) TAs with a M6 made in '94 and that number includes hardtops and T-tops. Ref: TransAmworld.com
Clapped out 4th gens may have little value but nice rust free, well taken care of ones will see their value go up in the future.

lol no i just check the forecast, and if its a 50/50 chance ill reach over and roll em down before i hit the road, or if i have the woman along i just give a smack on the shoulder and nod at the window...lol she knows what it means haha im actually doing it 2moro so it should be good to go.
Reaching across the car at 80mph on the highway must be fun and safe. And Window motors don't go out instantly they start slowly going out. If you wait till it stops working completely it's on you.
