I wanted to share the news with the third generation forum. I purchased a 1988 IROC this morning.

I found the car on the Nashville, TN Craigslist late last December but did not get the car until today. I was not sure the deal was going to through until this morning.

This IROC will keep my 1980 Camaro Z28 company.

I am the third owner. The previous owner was in his 60s and he had the car over ten years. It is totally stock with no modifications and has the factory 350 V8 with four wheel disc brakes.

wow, looks like you got a keeper there. Its cars like this that make me happy that not all thirdgens are trashed yet.

Looks like a nice, clean IROC..Congrats! How many miles? How much did you pay (if you dont mind me asking). Any other pics? Thanks

RS Reaper

Nice, very clean. How much did you pay for it?

Flynt

Guys,

Thanks for the compliments!

I do not have any additional photos of the car. I took those photos when I inspected the car back in December. I plan on making more photos later this week when I get the car back from my mechanic. It is at his shop now having brake pads and a new fuel filter installed.

I payed $3,250 for the car and it has 98,000 miles. I hope that is not too much money but for a stock car that has never been "molested" I am willing to pay a bit more.

like that grey and yellow pinstripes. Nice!

Flynt

Avro,

Thanks! You have good eyes to tell the color of the pinstrips from those low quality photos!!

wow thats a steal

IROCKET4U

You definitely didnt pay too much! I would say you probably got a pretty good deal (IMO probably worth closer to $4500). Nice job!

Didn't only special camaros come with all disc brakes?

Nice Iroc,looks really clean

Special camaro's? Maybe in the earlier years but I know by 87 you could order them with any car. The IROC's (by 1987) all came with them if you had a posi rear end.

wulfgar the pen

most of the irocs you could get with all disks after 86 i think, and if you don't haave them theres a thread on here about how to swap drums for sicks,

not to jack the thread thouhg

looks awesome, i'd kill to have an 88 iroc, for some reason the 88s are my favorite year

You got yourself a very clean IROC. Nice pickup for the price. 98k really aint that many miles.

SWEEEET!

....great lookin' car. I think that was the only pinstripe combo that did NOT have a black stripe. All the other were black with red, gold, or silver. For some reason, "some" white ones got the silver and yellow. Why? Who knows? ...but I think it's cool. ...and pretty uncommon too.

Guys,

Thanks for the compliments.

Abubaca, I did not know about my stripes! Thanks for that bit of trivia.

Definitely a nice catch.

Plans for the car?

Flynt

WWD,

Thanks. I plan on driving the car once or twice a week to work. It will be another "toy" that I don't need but wanted.

I am going to have four new tires put on late this week or early next week. Eventually I plan on having the car repainted. The paint is weak and does not do the car justice. When I win the Lotto, I will add Vortec heads to the 350 TPI.

I have a 1978 two door Caprice. I had the car's original 350 rebuilt and we added a roller camshaft and Vortec heads. They made a hugh difference in the car's ability to accelerate!

nice car....my 87 iroc-z had tons of options, but no rear disc...of course it does now. but not from the factory..
you definetely didn't pay too much. good find.

Sinister Z

Nice purchase & very clean car...congrats! and to answer about the 4-wheel discs, mine is an '85 Iroc and it did come with 4-wheel discs, the car was fully loaded, power everything except for the TPI which was an option back then.

Things like this always make me laugh at the fact I could still get drums in 89, when discs were out for so long before 89. They couldn't even make them standard. Damn 80's options to get more money.

With that said, when did disc brakes become standard?

I plan to go to the biggest wilwood kit from ed to fit under 18" wheels. If not wilwood, whatever is the biggest and baddest (in braking, not looks)
