Hi there! I finally decided to join a Camaro forum even though I've owned several different Camaro's over the years. I currently have a 1998 White 3.8 Camaro completely stock except for the head lights and I am the second owner.

The options combination is kinda weird (At least to me) as it has the Monsoon sound system, cruise control, 2nd gear start, fog lamps, no T-tops, power door locks, but MANUAL windows. The fact that it has manual windows is what I find to be strange as I've never seen a late 4th generation Camaro that didn't have power windows along with power locks.

Here's a couple of pics :





Currently, it has 203,000 miles and around 109,000 miles on the current engine. The original owner ran the car hot and decided to just have a brand new 3.8 put in at the dealership.

I was wondering though, how rare is it for a late 4th generation Camaro to have those options, but have manual windows?

 

I have seen quite a few with manual windows, though I haven't seen many sixers with the Monsoon system.

 

The red 98 we bought has manual windows. Not sure about the rest of it though. Haven't paid that much attention to it. Personally, me, I like manual windows. Oh and welcome to the site. Nice looking car.

 

welcome to the forum.4th gens are notorious for window motors going out and they arent always alot of fun to change.so guess you could be happy about that.and they are lighter due to no window motors.

 

Mine has Manual windows but not power door locks. I assume yours was custom ordered that way. It is a unlikely combo. Mine is the T-top/5 speed/with AC plain jane that every dealer had in Red, Green and Blue

 

My first upgrade would be power windows. ;-)

My 3.8 RS has the Monsoon, power everything... que the "I got the power" song ;-)

 

my 97 3.8 camaro has manual windows and doesnt have power door locks its a good thing though its old school. who doesnt like old school

 

I wish mine had manual windows! The power ones are garbage!

 

ya i would rather have manual windows power windows suk cause there window motors suk ***. i just had to replace my driver side window motor in my firehawk and i thought it wouldnt be to bad but damn its alot more work the u would think it would be. and there not cheap. manual is better.

 

Welcome to the forum!

My guess is that the original owner just ordered the Camaro with those options from the dealership. And like others here have already said, it's probably a good thing since the power window motors on 4th gens that have them are prone to breaking.
