Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Incorrect. It was considered an 85, and titled as such.
You can't win this argument lol

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
If you want proof, post the VIN and you'll find the car is an '85 if it is a "California IROC-Z". You can also post the SPID label found in the glove box. From there, we can show how the car was configured from the factory. No 84 IROC-Zs.
Hi I am new to thirdgen and I was just cruising around reading things and I came across this thread. I would like just like to point out that there is such thing as a 1984 iroc-z z28. It was introduced in 1984 and was available in automatic in this year only. Came with the 5.0 H.O. (L69). Not saying that the camaro that was on ebay was one of these but if it does not have the iroc decal on the sides then it was made in california being 1 of 500 that was special ordered by people who did not care for the decals. I actually have one of these. It is black with no markings and has the rare gray interior that says camaro up and down the seats in front and in the rear seats and also in the door panels in shades of gray black and white. I did a lot of research when I found it to find out exactly what I had because the car just seemed to have odd detail about it. And I must admit I was completely blown away by what I ended up having and had only paid 500 bucks for it. But he obviously did not know what he had. If you go on youtube.com and look up 1984 iroc-z z28 commercial you will see the actual commercial for when this car was introduced.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Its funny everytime one of these debates comes up and the mods finally tell them to post the VIN or SPID, then they finally stop convincing everyone of their 82-84 IROC-Z.

Guess my title must be wrong then. And whoever took the time to swap everything from suspension up I thank them haha because I would've never done it.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
As soon as spring is here and I uncover I will get my codes and post them. When I looked up vin I learned that it won't tell me if its an iroc or not because its an option. It only tells me its a z28 sports coupe

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
The 10th digit in your VIN is the letter "E". Therefore your car is a 1984. Letter "F" is a 1985.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Www.iroc-ss.com/history.htm I found on here that says the first car to the public was the 85. The 84 was for testing and designing. Is it possible I ended up with a test and design car?

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Johnsons car is not a California IROC-Z. Not in '84, not in '84.5, not even in '85. Those 500 cars were all built late in the '85 model year, none with the L69. Period.
He will post his spid in the spring when he uncovers it? What is that car covered with?
If it doesn't have B4Z it's not an IROC-Z. If it doesnt have 1C5 it's not a California IROC.
Uncover it now & show us if you believe you have a case.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
IROC was introduced in the fall of 84 as an 85 model. No way Mr. Johnson has an "84 IROC," LOL! No such animal. Can't believe you guys are even humoring this.

No reason to be harsh. If we can show proof based on his RPO codes, VIN and pictures, he will be a believer. Anybody can say that this didn't happen or that wasn't available, etc. We need to provide proof. You never know, maybe he has something and we might learn a thing or two. Either way, other websites have told him one thing and we are saying something different. Without proof, who does he believe.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
I love these threads. So many supposed 84 IROC-Zs. And don't forget about all of the factory 350s before 87 and the 350 five speeds from the factory.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Well, if you ask the general populace, any Camaro produced from 1982 to 1992 is an "IROC." People call my 91 an IROC all the time.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
just to weigh in on this. when they made the 84s to test and design. im shure they took a 84 Z and turned it into an iroc. so would have been titled as an 84. i dont know either way but from reading the iroc history it is plausible. and what happened to the 84s that they built.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
Test cars do not have VINs and are made just to test new settings and such before they are put into production. They never make the dealership and are destroyed if not saved for the company collection or something like that. There were no IROC-Zs with the early Z28 body style and they were introduced for the restyled 85 model year only.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
wheres my proof? every couple years cars come up on barrett jackson that were test or design vehicles. like i said there are some that slip thru the cracks. this one im guessing the guy finally looked at what everyone told him and he finally saw that he doesnt have what he thought

True... there are old prototypes that appear on Barrett Jackson, but those cars cannot ever be titled, like you claim in the second quote here. Listen carefully when those cross the block. They say that its a bill-of-sale only vehicle.
My point is, if you do have a prototype or test vehicle, it is impossible to get a title from the secretary of state, therefore it is not a legal road vehicle.
Of course this holds true with the countless "84 IROC-Z" threads. Thank God for VIN's and RPO codes that always tell the truth.

Re: Legit 1984 Iroc-Z
