I need to part with my 1987 IROC Z28 convertible. I bought this car about a year ago from the original owner's brother, and have since invested probably more than $10,000 while restoring it back to like new condition. I got most of it done, except for paint and a few small items. The car is metallic blue, and has NEVER been in a front end accident. Besides a clean CarFax report, the hood is original and still bears the GM stickers, including the one with the VIN# on it. The trunk appears original as well. It has all the usual options, including A/C, power windows, locks, tilt, cruise, factory am/fm/cassette with EQ, power driver seat, power mirrors, power antenna, 4 wheel disc brakes, 3.27 posi rear end, auto, and more. Last year I had the intake plenum polished, and had the runners and manifold powder coated to match. The valve covers are GM High Performance, and are polished aluminum. Otherwise, absolutely nothing on the car has been modified, hacked, or otherwise molested. The original light grey seats are PERFECT - no rips or visible wear at all. The car is straight, and other than a very small spot (less than 1/2"), there is no rust and no rot. The floors look like new. The LB9 (5 liter TPI) engine runs very well, all emissions equipment are working and present, and the transmission shifts firmly. The body looks nice, but has one very small dent and will need paint. The top of the hood and trunk are fading. Yes, the car is the original color. Here is a partial list of what's new on the car within the year: New steering wheel (OEM) New console arm rest New center caps for original 16" wheels New brake calipers New brake rotors (yes, all 4) and pads New brake master cylinder New KYB struts and shocks New oil pressure sending unit New heater core New alternator New GM/Delco (OEM) battery New coolant and washer fluid reservoirs (the coolant reservoir is not in photo) New hoses, clamps, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filters (all OEM) New K&N air filters (2 of them) New rear view mirror with maps lights (convertible don't have dome lights...) New power window switches New windshield wiper and washer motor/pump New GM OEM keys (yes, I am a perfectionist..) Rebuilt hatch (trunk) motor Rebuilt alternator (OEM quality, not an AutoZone unit...) Rebuilt starter (same as above) And so much else I can't rmember... The car will need paint soon, and eventually a top (even though it looks okay). It will need the A/C compressor replaced or rebuilt, and probably a receiver/dryer and a charge. It was next on my list to do.... The power antenna needs to be replaced, as does one fog light that is cracked (I have one - it is included). The dash has a crack, and should probably be replaced at some point as well. Although only driven Saturday's, the car has current CA registration and insurance. It runs and drives great. While I might be forgetting about something that may need repair, I can't think of anything else off hand. It has 92,000 original, CarFax verified miles and I am indeed the third owner according to CarFax. The VIN# is 1G1FP21F6HN134054 I attached three photos, the max allowed. I can take additional photos, and I promise the car is as represented - not better, but not worse! I see no reason the car couldn't be driver cross country - it drives great, all fluids are recent and clean. I am taking delivery of a new car this weekend, and need my garage back. $3900 takes the keys and the title. I may throw it on eBay or craiglist.org, so if you want the car, tell me know. If you have any questions about the car, I would prefer you please email me in stead of sending a PM. You can email me at rcarlson@3gcgroup.com or call me at (310) 709-7501. If I can't get your call, please be sure to leave a call back number and speak clearly. Thanks!

got a pic of the rpo codes and the comm. packet on dash?
send to soundwavesk3@sbcglobal.net

I bought a new lid, I didn't transfer the RPO code sticker onto it yet. I think it's in a box in the car, I will check in a day or two.

By comm. packet, if you mean 20th Anniversary Edition, it doesn't have it. It's an ASC car, but it's not an Anniversary Edition. It does say 'Special Edition Z28' and has a serial number by ASC under that.

Willie says the 6th check digit should be a 3 if it's an Anniversary Edition, a 2 if it's not. Mine is a 2.

Although I have been told eBay is my best bet, I was hoping someone on TGO would buy it and finish the car.

I am willing to sell it for $5,000 - if anyone's interested, let me know asap. I would very much like to sell the car this week.

Thanks!

I have the RPO sticker, and can take a digital photo if anyone wants to see it...

I will sell it for $4500 if someone wants it. Otherwise, I will just leave it in storage until I have time for it...

Personally if I were you, I would store it. That car is gorgeous, and it sounds like you really enjoy it. IMO, keep it. You won't regret it. And if you sell it, later on down the road you are really gonna miss it. But good luck with whatever you choose!

'87 Irov Vert, check your pm, I sent you a few questions

Thanks, Doc Holiday - you may be right...we'll see what happens this week...

BTW, due to rolling blackouts in Los Angeles, my email server is down (I have been without power at my house since Saturday, and it's 100 degrees here!)

So, to those who were trying to send me email, please do so at rcarlson@3gcgroup.com

Thanks!

Price lowered to $3900.
I really enjoy driving it to the dry cleaners on Saturday's, but I would rather take if off my insurance and have my garage back for my new car

Was this on eBay a week or so ago? Is it still for sale? If so, think you could ship to Michigan?

24Rush - I've never had it on eBay. Yes, I just lowered the price and put it back up for sale. I don't have any issue shipping it, as long as you are willing to pay the shipping company. Probably $800/900 or so, I would guess. Please call me if you have any questions (213) 341-6040 work phone, (310) 709-7501 cell phone.

Thanks for the info. When is a good time to call you?

Also - do you have a zip code for shipping purposes?

Pictures to rushc24@hotmail.com would be GREATLY appreciated as well....Thanks!

You can call me pretty much anytime until 11pm. If I'm busy, I'll just let the call go to voicemail. My zip code is 90077 (Bel Air, CA). And if the shipper asks, they can get a car carrier on my street.

hows the top?

The top is okay. It looks very nice, has a small wear spot over the driver's side that's hard to see. I would consider replacing it at some point. I actually forgot about it, it's hard to notice.

24Rush,
There are a few photos posted - is there some area of the car that you want to see that isn't visible? Let me know, I'll see what I can do.

Some inside photos of the dash, seats would be good. How are the trunk/hood hinges? Doors sag any? Tires - type/wear? Also the first two pictures you have won't come up in large size for me. Can you email those as well to rushc24@hotmail.com? Thanks!

Dash has a small crack on one edge, but honestly, not visible unless you stick your head about 4" from it and know where it is. Hood and trunk hinges are just fine, as are the gas struts. Door do not sag at all, hinges are in excellent shape. Tires are Dunlop, some kind of sport/performance model, and have very good tread but not new. All four match, and are balanced. The car is aligned and drives straight. I'll email you some better photos tomorrow after I pull the car out of the garage and take some.

Thanks! Can't wait to get more pics! Even got the wife excited when she saw it - a VERY good sign!

I have someone coming to look at it today, and I'll take some photos of the car if he doesn't by it. (I haven't had a chance to take the car of out of the garage yet this week to get some photos).

No pics? That bodes poorly for us...

I'll get photos now and email them to you in the next few hours, Rush.
I took delivery of my brand new car last night, and the IROC is now parked on the street so I can have my new car in the garage.
Someone please buy my 'vert and give it a good home, it doesn't like being outside overnight!!!

Thanks for showing me the car. I think it has a lot of potential. However I think I will look at a couple more as they come by. Best of luck.

trade? 1983 Chevy C10 For Sale $6,000 Possible Trade.

Thanks, guys, for your interest in the car. I sold the 'vert to someone who I think really appareciates the car's potential.
See you guys in the not so distant future, when I end up getting the bug to buy another third gen!
