A good price or not?

I found an 87 iroc tpi with the 350 for sale today.. It has t-tops and power everything.....It's a nice dark blue and it has 77,000 miles on it. anyway he is asking $4000 for it. Is this a reasonable price or not?

I don't think you could get a 350 with T-tops until 89.I'd check the VIN#...

Assuming all the information is correct Its a fair price.


However as stated above, rarely is a "350" REALLY a 350

sorry not yelling..just typing in caps.

I checked insurace on that car and I don't think it is worth it for me..it would be twice as much as I am paying now. I have an 88 camaro w/a 305 tbi that looks just like an iroc. I think i will just go for a crate 350..

350 thirdgen never came with t-tops so if the 8th digit's a
f=305 tpi
8=350tpi

O.K people The only years you couldn't
get T-tops and a 350 were 90-92,there
was a few Iroc-Z's made with 350s in
86 I've never seen them but check your
history.by the way thats a dam good price
on that Iroc just do a car fax on it.

The above statement is wrong, I have a 89 IROC with a 350 and T-Tops. They started putting 350's in the IROC's in 87.

89 iroc z is right, there were 350s as early as 87, and from what i understand there was a small # of 5.7 irocs with T-tops. In any case man, if it is what you say it is IM JEALOUS. It sounds like the car i wish I had bought. ....dark blue ......*homer drooling sound*

Well I know I checked the vin and this car is a rare car that I would like to get. I just bought a bunch of stuff for my tbi but I suppose I could use the exhuast and return my gears. I just love the color of the iroc and the options it has that makes this a rare car.
