Re: IROC Z a good investment

From the article:

This 1990 Camaro IROC Z—in perfect condition in electric blue and with only 204 original miles—took $49,500 earlier this year. This one, an even more pristine example, took $59,400. When it made it debut, the car cost $11,719.
Are they aware that the one that went for $49,500 is also the one that went for $59,400? Doesn't seem like they know, but their links show the same car with the same VIN.

I think it's cool that these young folks think these cars are the bomb. My 18 year old feels the same way about them and he was the one that actually found my car online last year.

Re: IROC Z a good investment

I contend that any third gen that has the 350 TPI or LB9/MM5 and is a nice example will be in this category. We have noticed a spike in prices over the past few years, now the media is catching up. Good to see...
