My 'Roc

well guys, this is the 89 Iroc i am picking up for $1900!!! i think she's more than worth it. she has a TPI 305 converted to '92 speed density with a Hypertech chip to make it all work really well together. she also has a Flowmaster exhaust system and almost new Firehawk tires. the only damage on the body is where she got tagged in the rear which should prove to be an easy fix. the interior is in fair shape only having a tear in the driver's seat. the rest just needs to be cleaned. she currently has a 10-bolt rear with 3.08 gears and a blown posi but i am getting the 9-bolt outta my old 87 Formula with rear discs and 3.27 gearing for her. her a/c blows cold and everything works. the paint is also practically new, just needs some cleaning. well, what do ya guys think?

The dent in the 1/4 pannel concerns me the most, other than that it should be a fairly easy fix. For under 2,000 bucks, you got a good deal! Good luck with it.

well it was looking good untill i got to the smashed to crap picture, and the interior is lookin pretty shatty as well but over all it's a good car atleast the engine looked good, just put some time, money, effort, and tender love n' care into it and it should be a vary nice car.

hey Shean, thanks for lookin out but i AM BACK! ok, we'll do this in order...

1. Spdfrk:thanks for the kind words, but without the bad spot on the quarter, she wouldn't have needed a fix, just a thorough cleaning up. the pics really don't do her justice at all...

2. 82Firebird: thanks! i have ppl in line now to fix her...

3. 85maroz28: she does tend to be a higher mileage girl, its 161,xxx but trust me, she runs just like new!! and with poly bushings, handles like it too!

4. Mark: thanks man!! ive always loved your Iroc as well!!

5. 84customZ28: she has already been on a frame rack, right after the damage, she has NO structural damage, the rear quarter just needs to be pulled back and up a lil bit. and then maybe a lil tapping in the right spot to straighten her...

6. 88blkiroc: im not sure where the original rims are. these were on her when my friend bought her...


everyone, thanks for all the kind words and i hope i have answered you guys' questions!!!

Josh
