I may possibly be parting out my 87 Iroc convertible. I am not dead set on it yet. The guy I bought it from f*cked up the title by scribbling instead of signing so I am trying to get him to file for a lost title and getting it redone the right way but if it isn't here soon then I will probably part it out and look for a t-top Iroc. It is just the exterior stuff though I am going to keep what will work on a t-top camaro. just seeing what kind of interest there is in these parts though. I can take pics of whatever anyone asks about that I am not keeping.

no interest as far as I could see it all rust free car came from vegas and was stored inside most of the time when it came to Ohio. If I don't get much interest fairly fast then I will start taking pics for Ebay I guess I will give a decent deal to anyone on here first on there they will have to be somewhat overpriced to cover there fees and the extra work involved.

Sounds like a rash decision... Have you tried any of the services that say they can get a title for any car? You'd be further ahead to either use a service like that, or sell the car to someone in another state with less stringent title requirements. I know in Kansas a car with no title is virtually worthless, but in South Dakota some manufactured tears and a sob story combined with an unsigned title could get a car titled.

I would be interested in some stuff. I need all the stuff under the toneau that releases the top including the cable and handle. Maybe the vinyl part of the tonneau if it's really good shape. The interior panels in back where the speakers go and trim.
The bad thing is I am not sure what all I will need since my car didn't have a lot of the small stuff on it, so I don't know what I'm missing.

I am looking for the part that goes from the door to the toneau the part that the seat belt goes through mine are missing if you are willing to sell ???

haven't you had your car for along time? how did this problem just come up?

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

definitely had it a while I stripped it to put it how I wanted it and didn't worry about the title and I already had a 406 (sold to a member on here from Sandusky) in it ready to hook up fuel line and decided I wanted a big block but since the title wasn't done I kept parts off of it in case it couldn't get it done. Got strapped on cash for a little while so I just stored it. I may try an alternate means to get a title but being on unemployment since the 1st of last year has taken it's toll on me. as far as the release mine has the linkage setup, not cable. and the seat belt guides one of mine got crushed I still have the other one somewhere. You can get them from Hawks as repro pieces now for around $60 or so.

I say hold out awhile longer and try to do some legwork on getting a good title. I am sure the job market will turn around in spring or summer,if possible to stick it out that long. If you get a title your already money ahead instead of buying someone elses mistakes.

But if you do decide it's not worth the hassle I am sure some of us vert vultures will swoop in and pick your car clean :~)
Good luck to to you on the job front. I'd rather see you get a job and keep your parts personally!

thanks for the kind words I feel the same way but Ohio isn't looking to promising. I am about ready to move somewhere warm instead of this negative degree and snow crap here. I will let you know for sure in a couple weeks what I am doing with it.

hows the center spoiler? Put me on the list if you decide to part it out.

wvabreeze

I here you on the cold weather. I'm about 3.5 hrs south of you and we have been hammered pretty good here with the snow and cold too.
Keep in touch.

YellowIrocFan

If you still have the top release parts for the tonneau cover I would be interested. I am missing the black pocket with the sliding lever to release the top from the tonneau cover. I would be intersted in all of the release parts if you want to sell them. thanks

How long has the car been sitting without being registered? My GTA was purchased under similar circumstances... and since it had not been registered for more than 5 years, and last titled more than 10 years ago, I was able to title it as an "abandoned vehicle" in VA. (Even with less time having passed, the PO just has to ignore any communication involving the car, and again, you can get a title.)

The total cost involved was $70, which included the minimum sales tax due when titling a car. The whole process took about 5-6 weeks.

I would urge you to spend a little time looking into all that before you scrap the car... as I almost did my GTA. Go to your state's DMV website and do a little research. I've talked to others on this board with similar problems, and they were able to get titles after taking this advice.

Thanks to my son, who remarked very loudly what a shame it would be to cut up such a nice car, mine is still intact and legally titled.

iTrader: (16)

I will have to check into it but it was titled in vegas in 02 and no where since so not real sure how it would work. I was thinking also if someone actually needs quite a bit off the car I will sell the whole shell for $1500 which is $5500 less than I had in it when it was delivered but It is just a rust free shell now though. That's keeping the Iroc rims on it with basically new tires. (have around 1000 miles on them, came off my 87 Iroc T-top)

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

well I just decided to part it out. You guys could use the parts more than me My taste is way to expensive to ever finish it. Plus where I was planning on putting in a stroked big block I think a t-top car would be a little more suited for it anyway I would probably end up twisting this one up pretty good, I can still find a decent t-top car for average money and do the same thing I am not that picky. It would just be sitting forever waiting for me to get the cash altogether for it so whatever. start making a list of what you want. May take me a little while to get it off but the outer shell is still all together all convertible specific parts are up for grabs. I have the complete linkage style tonneau release up for grabs. light saddle side panels the top is new on the frame like I said there is a small slice in it doesn't leak and not noticable. I will start taking pics this weekend the car is in great shape but I would rather sacrifice mine to save many anyway. just pm me or post.

I would be interested in the latches that lock the top to the windshield, both ends and what color is the interior?

What would costs with shipping to 76549?

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

not much interior stuff I am getting rid of but the interior stuff is light saddle. It was the tan color from 85-87. make an offer on the latch plates or if you are talking about the swivel handles on the top I am going to try and sell the whole top with them intact unless someone is willing to take their's off and reinstall but I want to see if that is the case first. just notced too yours is a 92 so you have different style on the latches all together than mine. yours has the 89+ style latches 87 and 88 was different. I can send a pic sometime tomorrow to show you what I mean so you would need all of it.

No sweat - you'd probably be better off that way! LMK if nothing comes through... I was looking for the seatbelt plastics in grey - thanks anyway!

alright I finally got some time to snap some pics of how the car is sitting now. I am not holding parts for anyone first come first serve (first come with cash that is) I am wanting to strip it completely so it isn't a complete loss but I don't want to crush good parts. anyway here it is. I will make a list of what is gone, big parts I want picked up but I can ship but it will all be on your cost. and as far as prices make an offer on stuff if I like it I will agree if not I will counter your offer. I can take more pics too just been busy lately. but here is a general idea on the condition the pic of the top shows the small cut I was talking about it doesn't leak in and I frayed it out to show it. without me doing that you couldn't see it.

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

anyone intersted in any of this stuff or I'll start ebaying it next week. I also have the interior side panels in light saddle correct for 87 $125 and shipping(these are near mint and still have the original speakers in them) and a set of brand new Spohn sub frame connectors I'll let go for $150(for the sfc). They are bare steel. The powder coated ones always end up rusting and you have to grind some off to weld them in.

do you still have the roof release leaver,if so how much for it,thank terry

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

I am waiting on the money order for the release and the sfc. If I can find anything else I will post on here. my best advice is unless you are doing a correct restoration switch to the cable setup.

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

tonneau release sold and sent sfc sold and sent. I am willing to sell the entire shell for $1300 picked up as it sits. If you are somewhat close and needs alot of parts this is a great deal on alot of hard to find stuff. I have the plastic header trim pieces too. The header directly above the windshield that the visors attach too.$90 and actual shipping ( better than average condition In My Honest Opinion) and the one on the top itself.) same deal here it is pretty decent shape I bought 5 to get to this one (best condition))$125 and actual shipping. I will get pics up sometime this week. of both

nic199210

Do you still have anything left? The frame on my convertible top is pretty much shot, so im looking for a while new one Thanks

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

if you are close enough to pick up or feel like the drive $500 and the frame and top are yours. Like I said basically new top installed.

nic199210

I live in southern wisconsin so if There no way you can ship it I guess I could make my way there. I was just wondering what the deminsions of your top are seeing they are all a little different, but it should still work. Thanks Nick

jstoltz

I could ship it but I am sure it won't be cheap.

Your parting a 350 vert, thats not rusty? wow

nic199210

Could you measure the width of it for me?

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

It was a 305 supposed to be a 350 in it but it wasn't so I put in a 406 and then just decided to part it out. I will measure it later on today.

Sutoto2189

Im glad people are showing interest in your car! I live in Tiffin as well and have seen this car in person, inside and out. I can vouch that IT IS a RUST FREE car. John is a nice guy and im sure would be willing to work a deal with anybody, as he did with me. We did a little part swap for stuff i needed and things he did aswell. I felt the deal was very fair as i got a few hard to find particular pieces that i needed. Hope all goes well John!!

No need to hate.. As stated above, hes going to have to much time and money invested in this car to be what he wants it to be. This is a steal for somebody that wants a VERY SOLID vert shell..

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

thanks for the kind words always another project (I want an impala vert too.)so I am far from worried about it.

Sutoto2189

Well sounds like you need to win the lottery. LOL

I cant wait for some of these suspension vendors to have stuff go on sale!! I rolled my car out of the shop on Friday and loaded it up on a trailer... What a fun time that was. Had to reuse the stock LCA's, panhard, and the shocks to keep the rearend in there, well sorta in there.. Didnt put the torque arm back on and o man was that a mistake. The panhard bar mounted to the subframe was perfect, but as you followed it down to the rear end, it was twisted about 90 degrees.. lol The springs almost fell out of it, thats how much it twisted.... The back tires were about half and inch from touching the fenders.. So i crawled under there, strapped the car down, and put a ***-along on the trailer and wrapped a chain around the yoke and started to pull it till it was sitting somewhat straight again. SO for all of those who read this, think twice when you overlook your stock suspension parts. The weight of and EMPTY shell alone was to much for the stock junk.. Wish i would have taken a picture....

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

lottery would be nice but need a good sellable idea would be better or just move to cali and be a hemp farmer (LOL). sounds like you had way more fun than I ever would, the torque arm is a major component to these cars definitely would have been way easier just to remount. check around on Ebay and craigslist for suspension stuff, just because it is new doesn't always make it better, or just mod the stock stuff to hold up better; i.e. boxed lca, panhard bars are fairly cheap new anyway.

Sutoto2189

LOL Grow teh greeeeen.... And ive also thought about getting some steel at like TSC or something and welding up my LCA's and welding a plate onto the torque arm, but i think ill just spend a few bucks, get the pretty stuff i know will work. Also i want to get the torque arm off the tail shaft on the trans anyhow, makes me nervous throwing 500+ ponies to it and not just ripping the tail shaft off! Who ever had the car before me had a driveshaft grenade on them up at the trans. Ive got a hole in my tunnel to prove it!

nic199210

Hey did you get a chance to measure that? And if I do decide to make the drive down there what day/time would work good for you?

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

not yet sorry, it has been pouring here pretty much all day I will get it tomorrow as long as it isn't like it has been all day today. as far as when anytime is good for me as long as it isn't around 2:30 3 o'clock pm I have to get my kids from school. If you have a trailer and need more stuff from it I will take $600 for the whole shell (including the top)minus the rims and tonneau cover. same offer goes to anyone else also.

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

finally got a chance to measure looks like around 57 5/8" side to side (going by the middle of the bolts for the brackets on each side) and 62 5/8" front to back(from the front of the top to the back of it) these are approx if you are definitely coming to get it I can remeasure and send a pic with the measuring tape on it but that is as close as I can get, it is kind of akward to measure. I did the best I could.

nic199210

I'm planing on coming down wen or Thursday not this week but the next one let me know if that would work. I was also wondering what else is left for the interior cause I could maybe use some of those odd parts that are only from the verts. Thanks

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

I have a set of the rear panels with the speaker grille in light saddle but they don't come with the shell $150 (look mint) and the seat belt caps look to be unbroken but I will have to check for sure $75 for both of them and both header trim pieces in good shape not perfect but close to it $125 a piece. can't think of much else off the top of my head. I can snap pics of that stuff if you want to see them.

nic199210

Yea pictures would be great. Thanks
