A froum car, thats it! I say we do it. I mean come on 30-50 members at anywhere form $50-$100 each we could easily get enough money...

it would be a time share camaro - we'd each get it for a week!!!

yea that be freaking sweet to get a forum car drive it around to car shows to represent third gens and tgo! get sponsorships and such

we would always have to push it into place, or it wouldnt be the "4 mile" camaro anymore

Could you just back it up to some shows and forward to others to keep the 4 miles on odometer

I believe you mean more like 250-300 people at that much. Its already beyond the five grand that that adds up to.

HAHA your right missed a few 0's there! But you get the idea...I would totaly donate $100 to a forum car!

It doesnt work that way...miles still add up in reverse. But I am hoping you were joking too.

Its around $14k now. Meaning we need at least 150 members donating $100 RIGHT NOW!

It'd be nice though, the only car literally bought by a forum. TALK ABOUT A GROUP BUY HUH!

yeah we could just use the ferris bueller's day off "move"

you know, put it up on jack stands and run it in reverse after every drive....

would be neat. Now where do I find 100 dollars as a broke college student......ah I will just buy in later.Get my TA running first.

We can't get you guys to buy TGO tshirts that you each can wear and have for your own. How do expect TGO to find 150 people to shell out money for a car most may never be able to use? While a great idea, I can guarantee that it won't happen.

True True it was more of a "idea" then anything. Just hope this car goes to a good home and somehow ends up on here!

hell, i'd give 100$ toward the car..... i have lots of shirts... i dontneed any more...

I seen this car in the April issue of Hot Rod. It is on page 17. (Hidden Treasure Of The Month) It doesn't give much more info than what is on E-Bay.

This car is an awsome find but $14,000 for it.

Not on an '85

how's everyone gonna feel if someone buys it, and decides he's gonna start driving it?? some would argue that it was born to run, while others in this thread feel it should be set on a turn table and never touched. soon that choice will be in the hands of one person, and if he decides to drive it from coast to coast, no one can stop him

Please prove this. I'd like to see the info on it. Plus learning something new would be nice.

cable drive odos since about 1969 have a ratchet in
them so they can't be turned back by turning the
cable backwards(with a drill etc.)to roll back the
milage.With electronic odos,the speed sensor works
either way, so those will register milage if turned
backwards

I'm confused

Cable Odometers- Can't be turned back, AND don't register reverse mileage.

Electronic Odometers- Also can't be turned back, but registers mileage forwards and backwards.

Correct.

That's definitely not true. You can definitely turn back at least the early thirdgen odometers with a drill. They may have changed it at some point but I know for a fact the early ones could be turned back that way.

This IROC is an '85 and I'm almost positive the mileage could be rolled back that way.

I'll 2nd that. I swapped out clusters on a previous 88 Camaro--took it to a shop and they changed the mileage on the new cluster to match the old one. They used a drill

now its up to $15,700 - still hasnt met the reserve

Thanks for clarifying. He confused me.

its over 20xxx now and still n ot past the reserve

well its past 20XXX anybody wanna make a guess to how much it goes for?? im gonna say it goes for 32,500

we should make a little TGO bet and whoever wins get the whole pot haha.

make it 5 bucks a bet?? hehe just an idea!

So far, all of you are partially wrong, and some are partially right about the odometers. I didn't mean miles turn back in reverse, they just don't add up. They can be somewhat turned back, but the miles won't go back, only the tenths. For example if the odometer reads 00004.3, and you go back 1 mile, it won't go back past 4.0, since there is a ratchet in there preventing the tenths from turning back past the 0, so really the furthest you turn back any odometer would be .9.

Ca[maro]88, I'll put my 5 bucks on 37,500. I don't think it will exceed 40g, only if it actually appeared to be in the perfect condition that it could potentially be in.

i know you can turn it back with a drill, i put a speedo out of a higher mileage car in my freinds camaro and i turn it back to match his numbers

but anyway i agree he needs to atleast clean it up, the markings take alot more than soap and water to get off, and you can wax around them if need be, also hell a set of OEM wheels, about 250-500 dollars on ebay, cheaper if you look around

this guy is a retard, he could invest 1,500 in it and probably have a clean running 85 iroc with 4 miles what a jacka$$

THIS IS ABSURD....NO IROC EVEN A FOUR MILE CAR IS WORTH 50 GRAND UNLESS ITS A GM PROTOTYPE LIKE THE ONES THAT SOLD AT B-J. A DT500 with 20 miles on it sold for 23 grand a year or so ago at an auctionhouse. AND THAT ONE WAS PRISTINE NEEDED NOTHING!

What is this? (the numbers, not the light)

Good question. Now I'd like to no?

I'd be surprized if it topped $30,000. Hell, the 84 z28 with 7 miles on it that was on barret jackson a while back went for I think $27,000 and it was pretty much a turn key.

....not to mention the last camaro that was built at Van Nuys, they sold that one i believe for near $50,000 at Barrett-Jackson!....(was a few years ago when they did that, plus the car had all the builders signatures in the body)....so i wouldn't be surprised what the final bid will be...

I saw that car in person at B-J and I would much rather have it than this IROC, even at the inflated B-J price. It was mint and had the desirable L69 engine.

Even the 20-mile DT500 mentioned by L695speed is better value than this.

No offense is intended to anyone here, but my opinion is that if anyone buys this questionable condition car for the current bid or above, they are a fool. There are better cars with extremely low mileage available, if you are willing to be patient and look.

Isn't that car still owned by the original owner, Leonard, a member of this board??

The last Camaro built in Van Nuys in 1992 is owned by LeonardS. He bought the car when it was new. He toured the Van Nuys factory to see his car get built. He still owns it. It hasn't been on Barrett-Jackson. But you're right, it has signatures from the factory workers throughout the car.

I recall Leonard did list the car on eBay, several years ago, but he didn't sell it. I think Leonard changed his mind and decided to keep the car for the time being.

Yes, Leonard still owns the car and is a member on this website. He still visits, too.

Leonard's reserve was $50k on ebay. He had it as a buy it now price. I've offered a few times and I'll offer again.....Leonard, I have $14k set aside to buy your car. What do you say? It's worth more, but this is all I have.

even though it looks that bad (dust and bad wheels) under that dust is still very nice NOT FADED paint. the clear isnt faded its perfect. it SHOULD have stored better. MUCH better, but it wasnt. i think if somebody is going to buy this car they could care less if it runs or not. its going to go on display somewhere and itll prolly never start.

but lets say i bought the car. id get it to start, and id put it in reverse and drive down the street once (reverse so the miles dont go up) that way i can enjoy it for 30 seconds. id put desirable OEM wheels on it, clean it perfectly, keep the plastic on the interior (i wouldt even get in it unless i JUST took the clothes out of the dryer and id take my shoes off and id be wearing brand new socks) and id store it (the right way) then sell it in 20 years when im in bad need of money lol. in 20 years that thing will prolly sell for just as much as a baracuda would in 2009 if it had 4 original miles. this is our future classic car that and mustangs and corvettes etc.

It's a really fund idea - I bought sweatshirts for both my wife and myself and I think we'd be in. Funny thing as well is that we don'e have kids and were just discussing what to do with my LB9/5-speed '88 GTA.

Any idea how high the bid went?

It's at $20,350 with almost 4 days still to go. I wish I had the money.

I wouldn't be so up in arms over this except for the fact that its in horrible shape for what hes asking for it.

i really cant see him asking no more then 30000 for the car...

I would have guessed the reserve was $17k to $20k but now I'm thinking it must be at least $25k.

I was guessing a $25,000 reserve. Love to have the car though but I dont have the money.

That is part of the RPO DK6 interior roof console.

I know that it is part of the roof console, but what do the numbers do?

The numbers are simply to keep track of mileage, manually, for whatever purpose the driver has. You must manually role the numbers to whatever mileage you want.

My IROC has the DK6 interior roof console. It has two reels. the top one has 4 sets of numbers and when you spin the reel says, medical,arrive/depart,duration,time/date,celebration,appointment,financial,business and recreation. the bottom reel has 5 sets of numbers and the reel says. total,kilometers,miles,chassis,engine,service,trip,range and distance. It has a flashlight that you can remove.

It actually comes in handy, my buddy has this and he sets his next oil change or how much he got from his last tank of gas.
