I just bought a 90 Iroc-Z Convertible and was wondering how rare this car is?

 

Fairly rare. Does it make it more desirable? not really.

Out of curiosity, what drivetrain does it have?

 

1,294 made, according to the Camaro White Book.

Tell us more about it.

 

Its a 90 Iroc-Z Convertible with the L98 V-8, 5.7 (350) T.P.I. Automatic with the G-80 limited slip as standard equipment on this car.

 

Also, it is a 1LE Performance Package with the 5.7 Liter. How rare is my car? I wanna know, Im so anxious!!!

 

So rare that none were made with those options.

 

One of a kind.

Show us pics.

 

This is the info the person I bought the car off of yesterday told me. I guess he's wrong. So no 90 Iroc Convertibles came with the 1LE Performance Package and the 5.7 Litre? Well then I must have a 5.0 Litre then. I dunno.

 

No L98 Convertibles ever came from the factory. There are quite a few after-sale conversions by ASC on L98 cars however.

All 1LE's were hardtop cars. There was no t-top 1LE's or convertibles.

Does it say "5.7 Tuned Port Injection" on the rocker panels and your back bumper by chance?

 

I would have agreed with you up until a month ago. I went and took pictures of a 1991 1LE Trans Am WITH T-TOPS. The RPO sticker was no longer there, but he did have a printout from GM that listed the options assoicated with the VIN. It was indeed genuine a 1LE and T-tops.

No A/C either.

Very strange car. Not that it is worth anymore, actually it is worth less to those that wanted a 1LE with no options.

Mark.

 

Heh. That is odd. I've never heard of that before.

 

I agree. Very strange.

There will always be the one-off strange cases. As a rule, your right, there should not have been any 1LE cars with T-tops excluding the 1989 anniversary T/A's.

I figure it might have been a pace car.

Mark.

 

A 90 IROC vert is a nice find. Best of luck with it.

 

Oh Im so pi**ed, I just found out that I dont have the 1LE package last night. I do have A/C, and power everything. Oh well, I guess my car aint rare after all. And I dont have a 350! THe previous owner fn lied to me so thats why he was trying to sell it to me for a high price. That d*ckhead. So here is what I got I think. LOL I hope. 305 TPI 5 Speed power everything!

 

That's a good combo when you look at it though for many reasons
For one, you have the 5-speed, the best stock tranny you could get. 1990 was the last year for the iroc, the only year it got the updated interior, airbag, and the better Speed Density TPI system. Not to mention the top should have a headliner as well, the first year for it as well as the only year for the iroc vert. Stock from the factory, you won't find a faster convertible. See what rear it has or check your option codes in the glove box. If it says G92, that means that you have the best combo possible. IMO, that is a VERY rare find and if it is in really good shape you should be happy.

 

Wait, you said G-80, if he wasn't lying you don't have the best combo, but still, TPI 5-speed verts are rare, and being the last and best year for the iroc makes it even more desireable.

 

this car is a G-92! I looked at the buildsheet! What does G-92 Mean???

 

It typically gave you the performance axle ratio (3.45:1) and G80 limited slip.

Do you have J65 (4 wheel disk brakes)

Mark.

 

Yes, I have all 4 disc brakes

 

In my opinion, you have a collectable convertible.

I recall that after 1990 they discontintued the G92 option on verts as well as the J65.

So you have a 1990 Iroc Vert with G92 and J65.

- last year for Iroc
- 1990 was short production year
- You have 305 TPI with 5 speed
- You have G92

It's a keeper.

That's exactly what I would look for in a Vert ... and what I have been trying to find for a decent price.

Mark.

 

You dont wanna know how much I paid for it. Too Much in my opinion. $8500

 

That is on par for a good condiciton car.

I have seen low mile Verts where I live advertized PRIVATELY for $14K US.

Mark.

 

Oh Boy, here we go.

My understanding is that G92 was not available on verts after 1988. 87-88 were the only verts that could be had from Chevy with the G92, four wheel discs, etc.

My info comes from the Camaro White Book.

Maybe Drew or Willie could help me out.

Warrior 91: Post your Vin No., Rpo codes, and some Pics, Please.

 

here are pics of the car

 

hows this?

 

another

 

the last one

 

Yeah I'd like to see a VIN and SPID sheet picture as well. I have also heard that 88 was the last year of G92 on a vert.

Check this site out. Go to the 90 Iroc Info. It says right there that it was possible with the G-92 Option!

The IROC-Z Camaro ends in a bang. This is the first year the 1LE high performance option became widely known. The 1LE featured 4 wheel disk brakes, a 3.42 posi rear end, an aluminum drive shaft, large 12" front rotors, aluminum calipers, engine oil cooler, larger anti-roll bars and gas tank baffles. There were also numerous spring rates available. The package could only be ordered without air conditioning or fog lamps. 1990 also marked the year the the TPI systems changed from the Mass airflow system to the speed density system. The speed density system allowed an extra 5 horsepower for the 350, upping the ante to 245 HP. The LO3 305 TBI dropped as the base model engine. The only engines you could get in your 1990 IROC was either the 305 TPI (w/ or without the G92 package) or the 350 TPI.

 

I'm failing to see where it says G92 and convertible in the same sentence.

 

G92 and J65 (rear disc brakes) no longer available on IROC-Z convertible.
G92 and J65 (rear disc brakes) no longer available on LB9 automatic
IROC-Z.

This was in a article I found under the 89 Camaro History. So I dont got G92. Happy now.

 

No 1990 IROC convertibles came with rear discs.

AFAIK, my 1990 'vert has every option available except factory CD player. Of the 1,294 produced that year, relatively few had Option level #3 (highest option package). If yours is similarly optioned, then it is indeed one of probably only a few hundred made. That doesn't bring it up to the value level of a 1LE, but a nice car to hang on to nonetheless.

 

No, they were converted THEN sold.

 

Madmax, you are correct.
