Eight years ago I embarked on a father-son project to build a third-gen Camaro so my son could accompany me and my 68 Camaro to shows and cruises. But what seemed like a nice fun project snow-balled into something much greater. He lost interest years ago, but I'm still slowly plugging away at it. Now, with a bad back and a waning interest I've realized I will likely never finish it, so it's time to cut it loose.

The car is a combination of parts, but the shell (with a clean title) is a 1988 IROC with T-Tops. I have all the body parts, and they are all rust-free (except the hood which has surface rust).

The bulk of the shell has been taken down to bare metal. The underside has been completely cleaned and painted. Along the way I decided I would make this into a car I could Autocross, so it also has a 6-point cage and Hotchkis sub-frame connectors welded in.

The IROC was an automatic, but I put a clutch pedal assembly in it and have a T-5 as well. The motor is an L98 from a 1989 Formula. It includes the computer and harness. The heads have been rebuilt with new valves, and have a mild port and polish. The short block is stripped and should only need honing. The rear is a 9-bolt Borg-Warner with posi, disc brakes and 3:27 gears.

I'm posting some pictures here, but complete details on the car are on the website I created to document the progress of the 'restification'. The website is thirdgenrestoration.com. I can take pictures of anything you want, but you really need to see it in person to appreciate what's been done. The car is located in the northeast corner of Massachusetts.

There are many pictures of the car there along with details of the work that's been done. I would prefer to sell it complete rather than go through the hassle of parting it out. I have a little over $3000 in parts invested, and don't even want to think about the number of hours. If I can't get a reasonable price for it I'll throw a cover over it and maybe finish it sometime down the road.

Looks like a great starting point for a clean project with a lot of the hard work already done. GLWS.

Will sell the rolling chassis for $1200. No motor/trans. Will provide the dash and we can negotiate other parts. I really just want my garage back before the Winter. This will be a complete body with T-Tops and clutch pedal with a 6-point roll cage. Just finished putting a swing-out bar on the driver side. The underside of the car is done, just needs paint.
