86 IROC 5.0 LITER

I came across what I believe is an 86 iroc with the L69, and 5 speed It also has the 5.0 LITER all caps badging on it, I stopped to look at it, but didn't really think twice until yesterday when I read somewhere that they only made 74 of them Its got a crappy cheap paint job on it right now, and some wierd sun visor from a semi thing on outside of front window. But it does have the rare rear wiper, and T-tops no price though just a number to call do you guys think I should go give this a second look. Would be worth it right even though I dont even know how much they want for it

More than likely it is an LG4 in the car. Look at the VIN for the G.

L69's also had the catalytic convertor with 4 bolt flanges on each end of it (mine does). I agree, the dual snorkle housing, hoses and inlets look really cool.

....It also has the 5.0 LITER all caps badging on it...

A prior owner took an original L69 emblem, "5.0 LITER H.O." from an '85 and modified it, cutting off the "H.O." to reflect what the car really is! Usually, one badges a car with the hi-po engine, etc., not the other way around. Gotta give him/her credit for advertising what it really is.

Am I the only one who has never seen an IROC with the rear window wiper?

I bought an 86 Z28 back in 98. It had the 5.0 H.O badge on the dash so I just assumed it was an L69. Boy was I wrong!!!
