It is rough around the edges but presentable. Will need a lot of little things over time. Drives and brakes straight. Still relatively quick. Paint is good enough for me. Will never be a show winner or runner up. From this point forward please disregard my forum name SeeksClean85Z28.

Congrats! L69 is awesome - it was really the first factory hot rod in the resurgence of the musclecar.


Love the CAMARO CAMARO CAMARO interior. Very 1980's.

From 2003 to 2007 I owned a mint blue 87 IROC G92 5 speed. It had all options except leather and rear window louvers. Despite the condition differences I like this car more. It's the car for me. To wait for a better one at the right price and distance could have been an exercise in futility. Color, price, motor, transmission, no ttops and LS seats all too irresistible to me.

Looks Good,What Options Does It Have.

Dealer ordered low option car, I suspect to keep the price down with the custom interior with LS seats

AC
cruise
tilt
power locks
hatch release
non cassette am/fm stereo
halogen headlights (if that was an option)
front and rear carpeted floor mats (long gone)

It's only three assembly line units away from this lovely machine:

BTW, that's an Arizona car, so I'm thinking the fan and/or shroud were added to try to improve cooling. Only speculating here. I'm curious to hear others opinions on that one. VIN states L69. Thanks.

This is a quote from the guy selling the car.. A cherry 84 z28 ho 36k miles. Why the hell would you molest this car. Find a roller or something else... My goodness.


The Z/28 is a blast to drive, returns great gas mileage, is inexpensive, to maintain, license, and insure, has tons of aftermarket parts available - and would even be a fantastic candidate to update the drivetrain, for instance drop a newer LS engine and 6 speed transmission in it, the chassis will keep up with no problem.

Just to be clear, Seeksclean did not say that.

This guy did.

Nice score! Love the crank up windows. How does it run? Is the motor all intact?

I'm somewhat partial to the crank windows, too.


My 87 IROC (when I was 87 B4Z TPI 5 Spd on this forum) had power windows. In fact it was loaded. Back then I recall wishing it was more stripped down. The options were more of a nuisance than help on a collector-use car.


One more option dislike to edit in >> that darned automatic hatch pulldown in the '87! Worked fine after I replaced it, but I'd rather mindlessly slam the hatch shut, or have others do the same without worry.


I would not need cruise, tilt, power locks, rear window defrost on the current Z. But air will be nice whenever I get it rebuilt, and I use the rear hatch release a lot.


The LS seat works well for me, and helps make this car. It pops as a showpiece compared to the standard or custom '84 interiors. Though base vinyl seating has a great look, too.

It always amazes me how many nice third gens can still be found. I remember this color combo well with the red body, gray skirts, orange stripe and those seat covers that scream 1980's. Nice buy.

I don't know how many years ago that Brighton car sold. I seem to recall seeing a date of 2012 or 13 or such. I looked back now and cannot see a date. I suppose need to remember it's been several years already, and perhaps the idea of changing the 35k [wimpy 305] engine in 2012 was a plausible way to help it sell. After all it was only one of those early thirdgens. Not like a 350 IROC! Ha.

Very cool car and I love the interior!!!

The L69's were a nice collection of parts that when combined produced a true competitor.

Looks Like A Nice Original Car,Why Did They Have To Add The Mud Flaps And The Rectangular Exhasut Tips,Just Doesn't Look Right.
