Just bought a 1990 IROC Convertible #563 - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

IROC563 · 08-13-2009, 02:15 AM

Hey everybody, I'm new to the Camaro community! I just bought a 90 IROC Convertible #563 out of 1294 made. I'm really excited to have it, its a beautiful car, rare and increasing in value. The guy I bought it from is a mechanic and he put a lot of work into it. Only has 106k on engine, rebuilt tranny with stage to b&m shift kit plus corvette servo. High output waterpump, new radiator, 58mm bbk throttle body, complete msd ignition system..8.5mm wires, iridium titanium plugs, master blaster coil, msd cap and rotor. Polished aluminum intake with proper egr bypass, over-sized down tubes for tuned port kit with matching machined upper intake. Corvette fuel injectors with diaphragm to match output level. New computer with stage one 305 chip.

I made a little list of things I want to do to it down the road as I'm able to afford it (broke college kid haha). The pictures make the paint look good but it is actually chipped and flaking in a lot of areas. So a new paint job is the first thing I'm looking to do

1. Paint job
2. New Convertible top
3. Weatherstripping
4. Sound system
5. Windown Tinting
6. Smoke lights
7. Camaro break light decal
7. New door handles
8. New Fan
9. New back tires
10. License plate frame
11. Camaro window decal for top windshield
12. New gauges
13. LED Lights
14. Shift Knob
15. Upholstery
16. New Dash
17. New Windows (eventually)
18. ALARM system** (SOON)
19. Radar Dectector (Haha 275 hp and a lead foot)

Feel free to add any other things you guys feel would be mportant to have in my new investment! I welcome the advice/suggestions. Look forward to hearing back!

Nice Iroc!

Nice! You should look at www.topsonline.com for a new top. Their "StayFast" canvas with the glass window is an awesome addition to a 3rd gen convertible.

Thanks guy's for the replies and BlueZee for the suggestion. I love the idea of a glass window instead of the plastic. Top isn't in horrible shape but it definitely will need to get fixed soon.. Maybe I'll post a picture later if I have time.
