a stripper model has no options. Power nothing, no power antenna, cloth interior, no rear defogger, steel wheels, no CD player, etc etc

I dont have any options on my car ether. Roll up windows and all.

Are the stripper cars sought after or something? this is the first time I have heard anyone talking about another car with no options?

HA! After hearing $h!t like this, I'm glad I ordered the lightest, simplest, least expensive LS1 f body I could get. If they offered the 1LE deletes in 2000, I might have even considered that, to make it lighter yet (off the front/nose no less!).

You couldn't order the car without a CD player in 2000 and steel wheels were never an option AFAIK. My stripper only had three options: Hurst shifter (waste of money), rear-defogger (learned from my prior F-body) and Z-rated tires (no speed limiter). No PW, PDL, hatch release, P-antenna, nuthin'... The dealership thought I was nuts ordering a car like that.

My '99 Z28 is not only a very rare color (BBM), but it is also a stripper too.

The only options it came with are single CD Monsoon and PS cooler.

Power NOTHING! No foglights, no rear defrost, not even an electric hatch release!

I can't remember but the car is either a RPO 1SA or 1SC. I'd run to the garage and check the door sticker, but I am currently storing the car in a friend's shop. Someone will see this and chime in.

It's not a 1LE, so I call it a "None LE". Kinda ghey but was funny the first time.

1SC is the RPO code for the "stripper"

My 99 Z28 that I use to have had an A4, t-tops, rear def., and CD player, that was it nothing else. I wish I kinda still had it for the lighter weight, but the cam in my TA took care of that!

Oh and yeah, I thought maybe someone was posting pics of my bit@# of an ex-wife too!

I don't think it was possible to get an SS that was a stripper was it? Maybe I'm wrong...
