After 8 years off the road its back
Just got it back on the road, bought it new in 82. All I had to do was get some new wheels a battery and tune up.
I'm going to post better pics soon.

Re: After 8 years off the road its back
i also agree about the louvers....when I was first looking for a thirdgen, i found a 5-speed iroc (87?) online for 3500, with 60,000 miles. went back the next day and it was gone. i just remember the first thing to go would have been the louvers on the back glass.

Re: After 8 years off the road its back
----------
As far as the louvers they are staying.. I'm 46 and that was the in thing back then and still like them. My kids also like them off, but its my car and they're staying..

No I got it repainted original color.
