Mint, Original 24,000 mile 88 L98 IROC-Z
To cut to the chase...divorce isn't forcing the sale of this car, but by having to now pay for storage for this car, along with my beloved 97 Z28 and my 2000 SS, I've decided to consolidate 3 toys into 1 new toy...so this car is now offered for sale. The highlights...
-88 IROC-Z L98
-Medium Grey Metallic (one year only IROC color)
-24,700 miles
-3 owners
-All options except for Bose, power seat and power mirrors
To say this car is beautiful is an understatement. There is not a speck of rust on the entire car. The car still wears its original paint, and for an 80s GM paint job its as flawless as it gets. The interior is also flawless...never smoked in, never been outside to fade, never eaten in. There are no stains or rips anywhere. Its a time capsule that smells like new.
It is 100% original except for the alternator (big surprise ), tires and injectors. I replaced the 8 original injectors with Bosch rebuilds in 2011. I still have the original injectors...the car drove fine, but were replaced out of precaution. At that time, I also replaced the intake gasket. 4 months ago, all brake pads were replaced with EBC pads because the original GM pads were glazed from age. All fluids and spark plugs have also been changed. It wears proper-sized 245/50/16 BFG G Force Sports. I also have the original floormats, an extra grille insert (in case you want to run no front plate), 2 sets of replacement GM mats and a few other things to go with it.
The pictures speak for themselves.
The car needs nothing. Everything works. The A/C still runs on R12...I added 1 lb to it in 2010, and it still blows ice cold. The car runs and drives like a brand new 1988 IROC.
I've reduced the price from $16,500 to $15,000 and just put it back on the market as of today, 6/5/15 (had decided to keep it back in February, and have changed my mind).

Re: Mint, Original 24,000 mile 88 L98 IROC-Z
Thank you. Someone is going to get what was forever my dream...a turn-key perfect grey L98 t-top IROC with under 25,000 miles. Even the wheels are like brand new with no curb nicks or checking in the clearcoat. The car is simply flawless. Nothing leaks and everything functions as new.
Even the radiator and hoses are date coded 1988.

Love this car... Sorry to see it go.
It would be dangerous if I had extra space; this car would look great next to my Gunmetal GTA...

So how many tire kickers have offered you 5 grand for it? There is no group of cheaper tightwads than 3rd gen fans. Beautiful car by the way!

Re: Mint, Original 24,000 mile 88 L98 IROC-Z
EDIT: As of 6/5/15, the car is again up for sale. I was planning to keep it, but with my work schedule and with owning 2 other Camaros already, it really just sits.
Car now has 25,100 on it, a fresh AC Delco battery, and I've lowered the price to $15,000. Help me find it a good home...I've driven it just twice this season.
