I'd give them like $30,000.

If I had that much

I'm not a fan of all the signatures. It ruins the car.

.... lets test this question, would you pay that much for that car, or would you rather buy a new ZR1 and invest the difference? I think that Iroc-Z does have some incredible history to it, but I'd rather roll in a ZR1 for less than half of the money he's asking, as opposed to just staring at that thing sitting in the garage.

Lol. Funny thing is, that car maybe retailed in '85 for 12-15k. 50 signatures, 700 miles and 25 years later, it is now worth almost 300k!?!?

It's a very, very nice low mileage car, but it's not worth that much money. Maybe 100k, given the people and bands who have signed it. Pretty cool that out of all the cars that could have been chosen in '85 for this event, the all new (then) Iroc-z Camaro got picked! Go MTV!!!

You could probably have 10 Thirdgens with under 1k miles for the price he wants!!! And very good answer! I'd love to roll around in a new ZR1 as well for this price. Actually, I'd love to have a nice house instead :P

Re: Ebay... $275,000 IROC-Z

the only place that may be worth high money is to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame maybe . it is a really clean car otherwise looks brand new.

Re: Ebay... $275,000 IROC-Z

The Live Aid concert was a big deal back when it happened...Not like Woodstock mind you but there were comparisons made with all the celebs coming together...That IROC is a nice car & with 700 miles on the odom she is worth more than what some would allow...But it will never sell for that money.......Oh, wait...put it on BJ where a 4th gen V6 just went for $17k......

Not to mention the fact that the '88 'ROC he sold in November was just as sweet without all the BS benefit crap and sold for $18k

Re: Ebay... $275,000 IROC-Z

If I remember right, that was also when they did hands across america. Only reason I remember was I was driving back to Blytheville AFB and listened on all radio stations for 14 hours from va to ar. I was driving a 1972 newport, 864 miles in 11 hours.

Re: Ebay... $275,000 IROC-Z

I don't care what it is. NO Third Gen is worth that much. I would rather spend the money on this rolling hulk:

At least the seller has the sense not to have BJ auction it off. BTW, what would ebay's cut be if it sold for that much?

NOW I'll shut up.

Saw this thing earlier. Not much reason to own that car, except to resell it ... for huge a loss.
