Wow..might have the new record for odometer reading. It has 4.3 miles!
The wheels were taken off to put custom wheels on, but it was being put in storage before that could happened so the guy or whoever it was threw those steel wheels on. The new owner stated something to that effect in the comments below the vid.

I dont even know what to say about that.Too bad it wasnt a good guy cammed 305 tpi.Still should be worth a decent amount.Was there a dealership 4 miles away or something.j/k.I doubt it was really found.I heard the guy say he had the title and someone got the keys.I guess thts someones way of investing.depending on what he made from it it might not have been a bad Idea.

That's UNBELIEVEABLE. That car is a piece of history and belongs in a museum. That also has to be the lowest and newest conditioned Third Gen EVER. What I don't get is how he took delivery without the rims and GFX being put on. The rims were left off to be switched or whatever (which was stupid, if he doesn't have them) but the GFX were supposed to be put on before the customer could take the car IIRC. It looks as if he took it right off of the truck without any prep.

It does look as though there was no prep done to the car which is even more amazing. The carpet plastic still tells the dealer to remove it. The front air dam is in the back seat waiting to be put on the car with all the hardware still in the packaging. Freaking amazing

That is sooo cool. Wonder what the story of the Road runner in front of it is. That looks museum quality as well.

And it probably would be worth even more if they hadn't OPENED IT. Just a theory, but then they could have not put fingerprints all over the hatch and such.
Oh well...I'd be curious to see what color it is. If you read the comments after, you can see he wants to sell it to the "right person who knows the right price". Too bad, I don't have $50 Gs to drop on it.

And ya'll BELIEVE this?
Looks like a faked "original"...Check out the tail lights.....HELLO!!!! Those are 90-92 lights. If it hasn't moved but 4 miles, why were the tail lights swapped out?
I smell fake.

Wow I cant imagine the amount of cash that will trade hands for that car!! Crazy that no prep work was done, but thats how iI would want mine if I ordered one. Would have been really cool if it was a players challenge car

Wonder how many other classics are in those trailers since we already know there is two.
My 90 did NOT have those taillights the 85 had , it had the older style. My 91 has that style.

You just don't know you thirdgens well enough.
Those ARE the CORRECT taillights for a 1985 IROC-Z. All IROC-Z's got grid styled taillights.

Re: Video of BRAND NEW 1985 IROC-Z found in a trailer!!
I don't not have anymore information on this. It was SPECULATED by some to be the same guy in Wisconsin who bought 21 trailers of unknown contents from a dead mans kids.
Here is the link on that. It is amazing what they found.
This was also posted in Hot Rod Magazine too.

***** This Speculation was incorrect, and this IROC in a Trailer is actually from New Jersey and has NOTHING to do with the Link above.*****

Ehh that was an easy one.

Those tail lights were used on every IROC made so I have no idea why you wouldn't think they are right. I would have thought that was just common knowledge with most people on the board but I guess not.

This car has the LG4 engine 155hp. Bummer! The car was purchased and lives in NJ. I have not and will not start or wash this car for fear of damaging a very rare vehicle. I will let the next owner make that decision.

Yes I know about the wheels. Story is they were sold when the car was new to purchase custom wheels. The custom wheels never made it on the car. I am not going to touch the car. I will be selling it as is either privately or on ebay. Anybody interested?

Those taillights were used for the z28's and irocs starting in 85 . It's the same taillights that were on my 85 z28 when I bought it brand new in 84.

Ah...I see I need to work on my reading/memory skills haha. Dummy me even read those comments.
On that note, I do hope whoever gets ahold of it will get on here and start a thread on the clean up process. Maybe the guy who has it now can stipulate that in his sale agreement. haha.
I have to say...the thought of finding a car like this, or any older car in this condition just sitting in a trailer is one heck of a fantasy. I would love to have that opportunity some day.

Re: Video of BRAND NEW 1985 IROC-Z found in a trailer!!
As I was watching that video I was waiting for the next scene where the water hits it and the paint comes alive. Then the new battery and gas can appears and they fire it up and you wonder how many cranks it will take before the engine roars to life. Man that would have made a great video. Or even the barging process where the one guy says how much and they bicker and the other old man (not knowing what it's worth) says like 8 grand and it's yours... I'll get the keys. Like that old man in Christen. lol

it would be great if somebody could do a vehicle history report... you can see the vin# at 4:34 it is clearly visible
