Chuck Jordan IROC-Z

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone have any more pics of the Chuck Jordan IROC? (Chuck was the VP of design at GM for a number of years). Anyone know who currently owns it? I love this car... It sold at Barrett Jackson back in 2009.

Re: Chuck Jordan IROC-Z

Interesting. I didn't know about this car. That was pretty strong money for a 3rd gen in 2009. I'd love to know more about it.

I had an opportunity c1990 to speak with Mr. Jordan at an SAE dinner. He arrived in a tastefully reworked Cadillac Eldorado, with a healthy sounding Northstar V8 under the hood.

Very cool!!! I read that he was instrumental in the design of the northstar era SLS/STS/ETC cars and the aurora as well.

Re: Chuck Jordan IROC-Z

It's to bad that every time I see a 3rd gen coming up soon at BJ, they cut to commercial, or I have to listen how Chris Jacobs loves Mopars.
That car is probably sitting in some old man's pole barn in South Carolina.
I've been to auctions where I just am floored by the lack of knowledge vs money. I'm sure this car was bought mostly because the "Name" Chuck Jordan and thank you for bringing it up. Hopefully you can locate it.
