Manual Passenger Seat?

[TX '90 ZR1]

There's a '92 on BAT that does not have a power passenger seat.
There is no control in the console and the seller states passenger seat is not power.
I was of the impression that the Z's came with all the options except the dual roof, which had to be specified. ('90's also had an AC choice).
Have I been incorrectly thinking all these years?

Does the seller have the original window sticker? I heard of all the ZR1's like only one had standard AC but who knows for sure. That seat detail is very interesting.

I thought the manual seat was interesting also. I don't think the seller has the window sticker, but I guess it would not be much trouble to get a copy.
Saw the number of '90's somewhere with manual AC. It was not a big number, but I don't recall exactly what it was.
Believe a member here has the last one built with the manual AC.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I got to digging.
Found this at corvsport.com/1992-c4-corvette/
(quote)
The ZR-1 Corvette received additional badges on its front fenders, and all Corvettes (base coupe, convertible and ZR-1 variants) received twin exhaust outlets that were rectangular in shape. For 1992, General Motors made the decision to reduce the formerly standard six-way power passenger seat to an extra-cost option. This decision was short-lived and returned as a standard option in 1993.

This is quite a curiosity to me, but looks like the power passenger seat may have been an option on the '92's. If this information is correct, I guess we still "learn something everyday"!!

According to the Genuine Black Book , Antonick:
"Note: During the model year ( 1992) , RPO AC1, was deleted form the ZR-1 package, and the price reduced by $305.00"

There you go!

The wisdom of reducing the price of a $60,000 + (1992 dollars) vehicle by $305 and making it not fully optioned eludes me.
I would think any ordered without the power passenger seat were done so by mistake. I have seen some strangely optioned vehicles, and most of them were a result of the ordering dealer not paying attention.

It probably saved 2 pounds or so as well, think of the performance gains;)

My '92 had a manual passenger seat also.

Perhaps there was a shortage from a supplier.
It was a very popular option in the non ZR-1's.
it was restored to RPO ZR-1 in the 93's.
Interesting and unusual for sure!

I think there were 124 in 1990 with RPO C60 , manual AC

I have 1051 C60

A 92’ of which only 502 were made, in White of which only 78 were made, with red guts, can’t be many, and with a one year only obscure option (or lack there of). Odds are good this is a one of a kind car. Hmmmm

Jeff is spot on ... the correct number of C60 equipped ZR-1's was 124, and only in 1990. Click HERE (https://www.zrwon.com/C4Z/infopage.html?https://www.zrwon.com/C4Z/index.html) and scroll down for more info. Click HERE (https://www.zrwon.com/C4Z/C60/index.html) for photos.

I tried to track down as many as possible but the task proved a bit difficult.

I saw this too and was wondering. OP, thanks for asking the question.

Yeah one of a kind...That means when it crosses the block at Mecum one day bidding will surely be in the six figures...😳😳

Well? According to "Karl", he had a black '92 with a manual passenger seat. There goes the "1 of a kind" theory, but it is a different color, so maybe? It would be interesting to know how many there actually were. Surely not too many.
Also, thanks to "Jeff" & "Gunny" for chiming in on the manual AC information.

I have a 92 and my understanding is there were only two extra cost options, ordering both roofs and the power passenger seat

[TX '90 ZR1]

This car w/39K just sold for $23,250.00.
I would say the manual passenger seat didn't hurt it much!

My ‘92 only had the power driver seat RPO AC3 only. Here’s a clip of the build sheet.

Car has both window sticker and build sheet to reflect accuracy. Red / Red Maybe not many with only the driver seat being power but it’s surly not one of a kind.

Awesome. I’ve read the black book a few times and forgot about this little quirk for the 92s. Nothing like saving $305. Haha.
