Well, my dad had to sell his Viper, and he got money and a partial trade for this..
When he told me the partial trade was a 1988 Iroc 'vert I almost fell over in excitement.. 305 TPI, auto, drum rear, open diff, but it's black exterior, black interior, black top. It has every receipt in a manilla envelope, with a dealer price of $25,000. Here's some pics!
It does need some body work, but still.. Black '88 IROC vert!

Man, I am glad my 87 iroc z28 dont have that wheel. Mine has a dumb looking one from grant. However the stock wheel looks like something from a bumper car.. The rest of your car looks real good, have fun with it. I am with mine. I think I have my 3rd ticket, and looking fowared to more.
I don't think I'd let my woman behind the wheel of my convertible if she was on her fourth try at the license test, even if the car were in park. Think, Ferris Beuler...

Haha yea I know.. When she gets nervous she turns bright red, so it's very obvious.. Kinda funny.. But here in Ontario the Drivers license company is privately owned, so they can fail you 20 times and still know you're coming back with $75...
Anyway, we randomly stopped in at a junkyard near a jobsite we were working at and found : Mint Dashpad, and 2 black arm rests (I've never seen many black interior parts down here)
We're just clearing up the ownership problems, too.. Seems the guy who purchased it before us put a 10 day permit on the car, but didn't change the ownership to his name... What a freakin' nightmare..
I had the car on jacks the other day, floor is almost perfect, no undercoating, either... It definatly needs some Tie rod ends, front brakes, and wheel bearings.. You can really move the wheel quite a bit.. Ball joints seem fine, though..
I looked through the receipts, and in 2006 the original owner paid the GM Dealership to redo the rear drums, wheel cylinders and all.. Kinda nice knowing that I don't have to do them... I hate those damn things.
It's on the road now.. I burned through half a tank of gas... I do notice a bunch of gas fumes toward the rear of the car time to time... I think it's the vent.
UPDATE: body work is done, began painting the hood, and deck lid. we're using Dupont Centari urethane black. Had some problems with running, but it all sanded out! Pics to come later on!

I like that OEM wheel. Mine came with the dumb looking Grant and I took it off and went GM correct.

Here's the girlfriend in the car, it's all she wanted, was a pic of her in a convertible.
Same way with my wife. I have the exact same car. The women sure do love the drop tops...lol.

Haven't painted in years but Centari is Acrylic Enamel. Centari black is unbeatable. Tough to get wet without the run....leave a little extra time between coats (a little) and add a little extra hardener (again a little) One stroke to cover and a cross coat shine. Good Luck...I wouldnt mind painting something again.(miss it) It takes alot of things done properly to get good results. Im sure you will be fine with your skills and resources.
