Default Manual Drivers Seat?

Is there such a thing? I am putting the base seats from my FRC into another car and I don't want the power.

TIA.

I've got one! No power seats for me! Heck, they only made 189 Nassau Blue FRCs in '00; wonder how many of those came with no power seats?

The FRC power driver's seat option code is AG1, but I haven't found anything that lists production numbers for that option (which would let you figure out how many FRCs were produced with manual seats).

[EDIT] I found some numbers on the Corvette Action Center site:

3716/4031 selected AG1 in '99 (315 manual seats)
1841/2941 selected AG1 in '00 (1100 manual seats)

Since driver's power seats were standard in all C5s except FRCs, that's a pretty small number.
[/EDIT]
Have a good one,
Mike

Want to trade that power seat for a manual one? (Just the base)

If we are talking driver sides, yes, I would consider it.

Thanks! The option code is really good to know if I have to order a seat track from the stealership.
