Default weird 1995 SSEI

i was in the yard the other day- getting parts for my ECC woes- and I came accross a weird SSEi. It was a white 1995- with a black cloth interior, no power seats at all- all manual, the center console buttons were deleted, it had a moon roof- but no electronic climate control- and all the shift options including trac were missing. Ive never seen one with such stripped down options- but yet it had a moon roof. Ive also never seen a charcoal cloth or charcoal interior for that year- can anyone confirm this?

Charcoal was used that year (started in 1994 or 1995) , but dual power seats were standard. Makes me wonder if this was a special one-off car. :?

All cloth is fairly uncommon in the SSEi, but not unheard of. Are you sure it didn't have seat controls on the seats themselves (AL6)?

yes Bill thats what I thought too- its was ALL manual. I wish I had my camera- this would have been interesting to take a few pics of. I was blown away- then there were two manual adjusters on the drivers seat :?

It'* probably that someone in the situation I have with my 94 got sick of electronic seat issues and went to any seats he could get. My driver'* side seat doesn't move except for up and down, back and forth, and switching to the passenger seat keeps the driver'* side moving with no action with the passenger seat. I can't say I'm not tempted to "fix" this. Because of this severe frustration (work in progress), I can see how the owner of that car could have gone to a jy and gotten some functional seats. Plus, not all SSEis are special cars to their owners, and the guy must have chosen pragmatism over SSEiness.

I've never been to a yard yet in this area re Bonne Parts. What was the pricing like Mike?

Are you sure it wasnt one of those rare supercharged SE'*? My 95 SE has the charcoal cloth interior with column shift and a drivers side power split bench seat. Power windows and locks are about the only options. It is a basic package (rental unit) and I like it like that. Less gadgets and gizmos to go haywire.

all very good points on these options here.
Randonthegreat- thats is a good point- but everything in the interior matched including the headliner, carpet and all the seating. There is always the possibility- but this would have been a lot of work to do.

Maymybonnelive forever- Standard auto wreckers in scarborough...I can give u more info on a PM

Dude-
Its definitly not one of the rare SC SE'*. Its trimmed out like an SSEi with all the emblems and body cladding. but either way- a rare care indeed. Would have been intetresting to see it unsmashed and intact...but also a good point about the options..

Keep the thoughts comming...
