IROC 5 speed for sale.. looks off
I thought this car sounded good upon first look, but closer look got me wondering..
https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ct...674225015.html
-Black engine bay? Other 87 white IROCs have white engine bays
-Over polished runners
-Bumper cover fit is off
-Looks like repaint and no door moldings
-Potential repair radiator support from accident
-No mention of mileage which is strange
I mean, it’s a 5 speed G92 with nice leather and T-Tops and looks like a decent 10-20 footer with potential
so basically.. what’s wrong with this car thread..

Looks like rust proofing under the hood. No bodyside molding RPO on the SPID.

Re: IROC 5 speed for sale.. looks off
yeah, It’s a little suspicious basing the price off the high retail Hagerty value which would probably be a mint, low mile car.. strange that miles aren’t listed
I will say both T-Top cars I owned didn’t leak at all except for going through a car wash or if water blew up into the corners of the window. One car was in a pretty bad collision and still didn’t leak after. Maybe I got lucky..

Never noticed mine leaking until I got caught in a flash flood at a show in July. It leaked a lil then.
