1985 IROC
Hola!
I have had two thirdgens thus far. One was an '86 IROC that ended up getting parted out and an '83 Z28 w/ 5 speed that I sold last year.
The thirdgen fever has struck me again and I'm looking to resuce one that's in poor shape. I found one that claims to have an '85 IROC in dire need of a rescue. I would post pics but I think Craigslist has some rule about that. Its interior is in pieces, paint in terrible shape, will need some bondo on the rear quarters, but it apparently has a rebuilt enigne and trans (with receipts) i just haven't seen it yet. Only thing is it that it sat for a year but the guy claims to have turned it over by hand to keep it from seizing. I really don't mind putting some work into as I'd rather save a sad little thirdgen rather than just recirculate a healthy one. What do you guys think? He wants $500 OBO.

Re: 1985 IROC
Hey thanks dansm I saw that one on CL too. I dunno about the reg tho. If it's not non-opped, no bueno. I'm feeling more picky now. Gonna try and find an LB9+T5. How hard do you think it'll be?

Re: 1985 IROC
Haha, yeah Thanks. I'm just impatient that's all. I went to check out an '87 350/700r4 and that thing was a hunk of crap. Got me thinking that I need to be pickier than usual. I already had the LG4 before so I'm aiming to get another TPI.
