Manual Passenger Seat?
 

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;)

Re: Manual Passenger Seat?
 

My '92 had a manual passenger seat also.

Re: Manual Passenger Seat?
 

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!
