Gauging interest on my 89' IROC-Z Camaro. Finished the swap in April of this year, and put myself into debt by doing so.
So I would like to see if anyone would be interested in buying my pride and joy so I can get myself back on my feet.

SPECS

CAR
1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z28
Hardtop
Originally an L98/700r4
Had 89,000 ORIGINAL miles on it when the swap was done. I have not hooked up a speedometer since the swap so It still shows 89k. I have put less than 5k on it since the swap though.
Has a custom Jet black paint job professionally done in FL. Has light blue ghost stripes and flames on the hood. Professionally tinted tail lights done by body shop. Paint job alone was over 2k.
All lights, blinkers, fog lights WORK. The only lights that do not work are the reverse lights.

ENGINE
1998 Camaro Z28 LS1 Block, oil pan, front and rear covers, sensors, and computer.

The car put down 414hp and 420ftlb on a chassis dyno. And it went 12.9 @ 115 in fontana CA with the slipping clutch and horrible 60fts. With a new clutch and gear it's very capable of 11sec passes.

REAR

Wheels and tires
ZO6 Motorsports black with silver lip
FRONT-17x9.5 with Nexen 275 40 17s
REAR- 18x10.5 with Nitto NTO1's 315 30 18s
2 1/2" Billet wheel adapters on all 4 corners

INTERIOR
4th Gen Camaro gray leather front and rear seats
Grant steering wheel
The interior used to be red and the previous owner tried to convert it to gray by painting all the plastic panels. It looks good besides the few scratches that show red underneath. He also decided to install new gray carpet ON TOP of the old red stuff.
Almost everything works inside the car. All interior lights work pwr windows and locks work, pwr mirrors work but the switch is broken.

THE BAD
The car needs a new clutch.
The engine has a ghost knock. I thought it was valvetrain, I replaced all lifters, pushrods, valvesprings and it is still there. Oil pressure is fine and it doesnt sound like a rod bearing.
The paintjob is a very nice one but it has some imperfections up close.
Rear tires are at about 50% tread.

I have absolutely EVERY receipt for the parts installed on the car and they add up to well over 15,000. So I am asking $10,000 obo.
Give me a call or text or shoot me an email if you are interested. Car is located in San Diego CA.

Nice car and engine conversion. Can it pass smog to sell it in California?

Yahtzee

Not as it sits. No cats, no AIR no EGR. I'm sure it would if the work was done to it though.

Yahtzee

Bump for the day....Any takers?

Guest

To be honest, you should try to get it passed smog and add those parts. Then you might find some offers. I say it's a good 6,500 car with smog.

Same would go for myself, my car isnt passing smog but will with new cats and it's a good solid 6,500 car. You gotta get it passed smog.

Yahtzee

Hello Branden,

Thanks for the input. I had a feeling it was going to be tough to sell the car as is in Cali with the smog laws. Figured I would try though. May end up keeping it.

Guest

Yeah I think that would be best. It's a real clean car and almost finished. These cars are Hobby cars, once you start on your hobby with putting money into it, it's hard to sell unlike a stock car you can sell and make some money if you paid the right price for it. Times are real tough right now, I just dont see it selling. My car wouldnt sell either if I lowered the price. We are in a classic stage right now and we just are not pulling the classic price for them. Soon they will be antique and the prices will probably be the same.

I had a LS motor with a ghost knock and it turned out to be the roller cam set up. If thats what it is a lot of LS motors do it.

You'll probably make more money than $6500 if you part it out. Your biggest issue is not really the CA smog per say, it's the knock issue. That's a can of worms some people don't want to deal with. That's an engine pull and tear down and rebuild, which is an easy 1k with parts if they are dyi. Might even be more, most people who pay 6500-10k want to have no issues and drive the car off immediately.

2nd issue is if a CA buyer wants it, now they have to buy cats and do whatever EGR stuff for the 98 motor, take it to the ref and get it certified to get the new bar code, all costing more money.

Best bet, if you're not going to part it, sell out if state like back east, or turn it into a race car, good luck
