Hello guys, been lurking here for a long time. I had a 1982 Pace car Z28 back in high school, but regrettably sold it for a family car when I had kids ; ; One good thing is at least my ex didn't get it in the divorce back then ^^. I just got the message from the shippers and this camaro will be at my home on Jan 10 from Oregon ! It is a 1986 5 speed black IROC with 4 wheel discs. I cannot wait !

IROC#1

Looks like a really nice IROC! I bought my IROC from Oregon too about 2 years ago! No snow..Therefore no rust and the interiors stay in great shape because its a relatively cool climate!! I too had a Z28 in high school...feels great to be a third gen owner again after all those years! Enjoy!

Well got my car finally ! Took the shippers forever to get it to me. I will post some pix of the celebrated arrival . I have already purchased a set of tan leather 4th gen seats. I WAS gonna go black with yellow.. but the gold has just grown on me.. and the tan leather goes with the black/gold theme very well. I never had a 5 speed 3rd gen before... I am kinda impressed with it lol. I already dusted a newer model charger in a slolum type run mwahahaha. I ordered the door hinge repair kit, and wonderbar to stiffen the front end a bit before I set to fixing the cracked dash pad. What I really like is the driveability of this car. I usually have to completely "go through" and rebuild a vehicle from the ground up before I am satisfied with it, but this one will differ. I foresee minimal investment (comparatively) in order to bring this one up to modern standards. I have $30k in my 73 Bronco, and it isn't even inspectable yet , nor have I started on the interior. One item i am finding difficult to locate is an OEM CD deck for this car. I prefer to use a step down from the OEM deck (to the amps) instead of the goofy looking aftermarket kit that sticks out from the panel. I will post some pictures soon.

or you could do a newer gm head unit like i did. its from an 02 avalanche.

Hey that is a good idea! Did the plug-in work with the factory harness? Did it bolt right up? I am by no means scared to modify, but I like to know what's up before getting involved.

i got an adaptor harness that plugged in for the front speaker wires and power wires. i used a speaker level to rca adaptor for the rears which i run an amp and 6X9's. i had to make my own brackets out of thin sheet metal from lowes. and i had to trim the vents behind the head unit a tiny bit. covered them in a/c duct tape. i like the features of it. all together it took three hours to install with amp.

I have always loved the black and gold scheme. I guess that is why I own a black and gold 86 IROC lol. Sweet car i wish mine was a clutch instead of the auto though. Oh well it will me converted in time.

Saxmo, i am right south of you in the Porter area BTW. I go to car meets in Kingwood if you ever want to attend, i have a friend in Cleveland and one in Tarkington that come out when they can. LMK if you ever want to attend, saturday nights, some action usually happens.

Uh oh.. another 3rd gen owner & owner of an original Bronco relatively nearby. I'm just a little West of you in Conroe. Both of mine are complete beaters that need some serious re-constructive surgery time & have been on extended vacations (or comas) lately. Post a pic of your Bronco, you can see a mine over on the left.

Here are a couple of pix of my Bronco and second gen camaro...
