power locks and manual windows??

I have a 89 Iroc that I bought when I was 17. It has power locks, power hatch, but manual windows. I am 29 now and I have yet to see another one like this. I know its nothing special but just curious to know if this was common?

My 82 had power locks but manual windows. My 83 had power windows but manual locks. Not too uncommon to see one or the other but not both.

Re: power locks and manual windows??

My 89 RS has the same options as your 89 Iroc. Power hatch, power locks, cruise, ac, heater, but no power windows. I had the original owner whom said there were several grades for the preferred option and he chose group 1 which is what you have.

Re: power locks and manual windows??

Thanks for the info, my teenage years sure have took a toll on the car. Since I am older now its going under the knife to be put back on the road.

Always had a special place for my first car.

Re: power locks and manual windows??

Good luck with the resto...post some pics when you can!!

From what I remember, 88 and 89 Camaros had pretty much 3 specific option groups. I had an 89 RS as well that had power locks, but not windows. A power trunk release was a stand-alone, seperate option.

My 88 IROC is one package short of loaded...has windows/locks/trunk release, but lacks the power mirrors, power seat and Bose stereo of the next package up.

Your IROC sounds just like my TA. Oh well I'm the only one who drives the car so no need to move the seat or the mirrors.

Re: power locks and manual windows??

I've parted out an 85 'bird that had manual windows and power locks. Not to unusual.

My T/A has manual locks and mirrors. It has the pull down hatch but no interior release switch. Basic tape player stereo. LG4 motor w/700R4 and standard suspension package. I do, however, have the deluxe carpeted interior panels LoL!

Re: power locks and manual windows??

So then it is not too uncommon if my 85 Iroc has power windows and a power drivers seat but no power locks?
