'85 Iroc 1 of the fabled 205

A little history of the car:

When I was 20 years old I bought a brand new '85 Iroc. It was black with red lettering with the contour interior in red. Later in 1995 I sold the car for a '95 Impala SS due to needing more room, thanks to the children. At the time I thought that the money I received for the trade was worth getting rid of it. It wasn't long until i regretted my decision. Over the past 5 years I have searched for a car identical to the one that I once owned. Last August, I happened to stumble across one on Ebay that looked identical. I bought the car in Seattle, and my oldest son and I flew out and drove it home to Pennsylvania. It was a 2 owner car in which both owners lived within two miles of each other. The car had 39,000 miles on it at the time. Upon getting the car home I started to do some research, majority of it thanks to this website. I discovered that this is a TRUE G92. This car is highly optioned including: T-roof, LB9, contour interior, roof console, block heater, ect. Attached you will see the SPID sheet. There are some RPO codes that I have no idea what they mean including ZO6. Any knowledge about these codes would be greatly appreciated. I am very pleased with this car and its options, especially since it may be a rare find. The road trip from Seattle back to Pennsylvania with my son was worth more than any of the options that may be desired.

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Re: '85 Iroc 1 of the fabled 205

Thanks again for posting your spid. It's the first 1985 IROC that I have seen with RPO G92 on the spid . Here is the spid for my 1985 IROC with out RPO G92 on it. Comparing the two I notice they both have the LB9, MXO, B4Z,Gu6 3.42 gear ratio, G80 posi, J65 4 wheel disc brakes. Both cars have the 8NN,9NN front springs and 6ZW and 7ZW rear springs. Can anyone see why the G92 RPO is on one and not the other? I don't.

I think I had a chance to buy the same car, in the same area, and about the same mileage when it was listed about 3 years ago on Craig's List. It seems like the owner was asking about $8,000 or best offer then. It didn't sell at first so I stayed in touch with the owner for a while and I was hoping the price would come down. If it is the same one, it has only one ding the size of a dime on the driver or passenger door? Also, the person had bought it from his neighbor just a couple miles away. Small world isn't it? Darn, I should have bought it! Good find!

Re: '85 Iroc 1 of the fabled 205

Thanks for the replies. I do not have the build sheet or the window sticker,wish I did. The second owner of this car was a women who passed away from cancer and the car was being sold to settle her estate. I will try to post some pictures of the car shortly.
