2 Sweet Verts
I haven't seen these sweet verts before. Maybe you have, but in any case
90-irocdx3's rides are well worth another look!

Re: 2 Sweet Verts
Very nice verts!
I did notice something peculiar about the red vert's undercarraige pic . . .
The owner says,"Completely stock . 9k orignal miles on car.".
But since the G92 package was no longer available for the '90 Iroc vert, wouldn't the rear diff be either a 3.08 (for a std tranny) or 2.73 (for an auto). If that's the case, then wouldn't they be the Saginaw 10 bolt diffs?
And if that's the case, arn't they unpainted and shouldn't look gloss black but rather have surface rust?
Also, arn't the drive shafts supposed to be unpainted also (unless it's aluminum which it isn't)?
Maybe I'm wrong, but would that mean there's been some painting going on making the car possibly completely stock but not completely original?
Just throwing my quick (and likely inaccurate
) observation out there.

She is definitly a beutiful ride. They both are. Great to see the white ride on the road again after that. 
I sometimes look under my car and debate whether to paint the same items or not.
Especially when everything else is almost pristine and then these items stand out like a sore thumb. I guess it depends on what a person can live with or not vs the way they made it.

Re: 2 Sweet Verts
Actually the driveshaft is also painted... so that tells me that someone painted something under there... Also notice that there is some black on the Exhaust right in front of the Oil Pan...
Regardless to the little nitpicky things there is nothing wrong in my opinion of painting the axel and the driveshaft, its only good sence to paint things that will rust JUST to keep them looking good and less hassles down the road.
Great looking cars IMHO
