On her way home.

Finally after 6 years and 6 miles, my IROC I sold, has now been repurchased from the collector I sold it to. Can't wait to get behind the wheel again.

Re: On her way home.

Congrats man! I'm sure you'll love getting it back! About 9 months ago I sold my IROC back to the family I'd bought it from 5 years prior. I added about 4,000 miles onto it, but was still "low" at 25,000.

It was like a scene from Overhaulin' when they saw the car again for the first time...tears everywhere!

Re: On her way home.

Thanks all! I will post more photos and the whole story of following it thru Norwood. Yes it still has the original VR50's and all original belts, hoses etc. She should arrive next week.

Re: On her way home.

That is a Beautiful car!! Its the exact car on my wanted list. Sounds crazy, but I didn't realize there was an 85 IROC HO produced until just last year. 20 years ago, I had an 84 Z28 HO & loved the car at the time. I started watching for another one recently & then learned the HO was still mfd in 1985 & in Irocs. I knew this was the car I had to find someday rather than the 84 Z.

I also look forward to the info you have to share.
