88 Iroc - TTops, 350 TPI 5psd NY Needs Finishing
Hi all, unfortunately my time and desire to complete my project has come to an end.
We recently moved and I started a new job and I just dont have the time or desire to keep working on her, so let my loss be your gain.
1988 Iroc-Z
Medium Gray Metallic
Original 305 LB9 5spd Car
The New:
OK, so the reason I am selling is because I am just tired of working on the car. I have been working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week and frankly the car has been stressing me out even more, and my wife told me I need to sell the car...
The car runs EXCELLENT, very powerful, everything works correctly, fans etc... both fans kick on at 185, and the thermostat is 180. Transmission shifts fine, no problems with bad gears. All fluid is currently mobil 1 synthetic. Oil, Trans, and rear end.
The motor has exactly 426 miles on it. The only problem that the car has been having is that it is improperly wearing the distributor gear. I really have not had time to diagnose the problem fully.
All the car needs is to get finished. It needs the passenger side floor pan replaced and the replacement pan is included. The only other spot of rust is behind the passenger side wheel well going toward the trunk pan. Easily can be fixed by someone who can weld.
The car is not water tight, t-top seals have been removed. 1 complete set of t-tops is included and 1 spare passenger side t-top.
I also have a firebird radio pod that I will include because i had planned to convert to 4thgen console. the seats are included, dashpad is perfect no cracks. Front seats are worn, rears are in good shape.
Not sure what else. I have TONS of pictures of the whole process which can be viewed at http://www.jskme.com/irocz.htm
I have atleast 9k into the car, I truly have lost count, its probably more like 10k. I know I wont even get close to that, so just looking for best offer.
The car really is truly in great shape and just needs someone to love her the way I have and to finish her up.
The car runs and drives, but would need to be trailered to its destination.
Looking for $3500 complete
I have GM Factory service manuals and tons of other parts not listed. I really want everything to go to a good home.
feel free to ask questions, not trying to pull any wool over anyones eyes, just dont have the time or the money to finish the car.
If anyone is in the area, they are free to come look at it, I can call people if they would like to discuss the car as well.

Would consider selling the car as a rolling chassis only. all interior parts that i have would be included as well as the original LB9 and Drum Rear if desired by purchaser.

Yeah, thats pretty much how it sits now. I have put the hatch glass back in, and por15'ed the drivers side floor pan. Its actually had a new alternator, serp belt and some relays replaced since then as well.
The reason I say trailered is because the car has not seen a ton of miles, so driving cross country would probably not be recommended. and also because of the distributor gear wear. The cam needs to get replaced in order to resolve this issue. The oil has been changed 5 times on this motor, as well as a magnetic drain plug for peace of mind.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

If I dont get any bites soon on the car, i will be parting it out. The rolling chassis will be available for $1000.
Complete TPI 350, new injectors, MSD wires, coil, cap and rotor, new ACDelco ESC and knock sensor, all accessories and serpentine setup as well as the custom prom for the motor, T5 with new clutch - $2000 OBO
Jet hot Coated Hooker 2055's with Y-pipe, Catco high flow 3" Cat, Flowmaster American thunder catback - 700 for the package less than 500 miles on the system. Cost about 1100 new for everything
Eibach sportlines (red) - $200 shipped to lower 48 states

So, if your interested, the car parted out is worth more than I am asking. If I dont get any bites soon, I will just part it out.

Re: 88 Iroc - TTops, 350 TPI 5psd NY Needs Finishing
If someone buys the whole car for 3500, ill throw in all the new emblems, iroc decals for the door, new turn signals, clear marker lights, spare hood, pass. side door and more.
$3000 for everything minus that stuff.
I really need to clear out the garage and I dont really want to part it out. Someone must want to get a good deal here?
All pictures of the car can be viewed here
