Hey everyone,
My brother just bought his first car last week and he cleaned it up yesterday so I took some pics. What do you guys think?

Pics

 

1985 ..... what a great year

IROC .... what a great car.


Congrats man to you and your bro, nice looking ride.

what's first on the old mod list?

 

Looks good! I'd get the door guards painted. How many miles? Certainly looks like a solid pick up.

 

101K miles on it. No performance mod plans yet, but he wants to get the tint re-done, get new front turn signal housings, and some better exhaust tips for the Flowmaster muffler.

 

Ahh 1985....Back to the Future was in theatres, The Smiths released their "Meat is Murder" album....and the Camaro was looking better than ever.

Great looking car.

 

Cool, you guys got it!! Looks good.

 

Nice lookin ROCK. He might want to remount the amps in a diff place, I believe they tend to overheat without ventilation.

 

Car looks awesome man. My Z28 is also my first car too.

Just clean up that engine bay with degreaser and a hose and it will look as good as new. I'm sure you can help him out with some polishing

 

nice!

 

Looks good, for a Camaro!

 

very cool looking car :hail:

 

Camaros are great first car, i remember sliding into snowbanks and fishtails, but it was all in good fun! Good luck with the new beauty! very nice buy:rockon:

 

thats a very nice lookin car and im sure once he starts to mod it he will become like all of us and cant stop

 

looks great, and even better that its his first car ....

One engine question, i though all tpis had the battery on the drivers side, and tbi and carbs had the battery on the passenger side

 

No I have an '86 TPI motor and my batt. is on the pass side.


I like it over there too, out of my damn way for the most part.

I've seen very few car's with the battery anywhere else. Or maybe I just didn't really take notice much

Anyway, thats where mine is.

Hey very nice for a first car, how old is he?

I was 16 when I bought my '86 Iroc...It was white w/blue int. and every RPO code you could get.

And I wrecked it, am still in the process of fixing it.




Hope he has better luck and more brain's than me.

But all you can do is just warn them.

-Jensen

 

He's 16.

 

looks good

 

Well the link doesnt work for me but hey its an IROC how could it be bad!

 

Car looks solid Good find!


So when you two gonna go at it? :lala:

 

i second that

 

looks like a great start. the 85 tpi are the best u can get in my opinion. what happened to the iroc stickers? also he isnt gonna drive that in the winter is he? i hope not

 

nice addition.

 

We will probably go to the track next summer if I insure the IROC for a few weeks of fun.

The car was repainted sometime and the stickers were left off. He wants to get new ones once he gets a job and some money starts coming in. And yes, unfortunately he will be driving it in the winter. But mine is saved at least

 

nice car nice find :hail:

 

Man I wish I could've found something like that for my first car. But instead i'm 16 and stuck with a 2.8 liter that right now is screwed with a camshaft problem and may just drop a new 2.8 or something hopefully a lil bigger engine but ya. I love that car very nice.

 

Maybe you'd be able to find something better if you weren't such a "Lzybum"

 

VERY nice car

 

Very nice. It must not have been driven in winter on the salt baths NY calls roads. You can tell it was cared for very well by the previous owners. A great find. BTW- I love the wheels on that year.

 

congrats on the car!

just be sure you drive some sense into him. id hate to see another iroc succumb to a 16yr old pedal-stompin tranny-thrashin kid.

is he a TGO member?

 

I told him to take it easy on the car, but I know he won't

He's not a member yet.

 

Wow, that's a beaut... awesome find.

But yeah, as others have mentioned... tell him to be careful with it, being his first car... some amount of horsepower + RWD + carelessness = you know what.

It's great lookin'! Nice addition to the family

 

yah everyone laughed at me in tha dealership when my dad told them the iroc was for me. there like this car wont last u a month i guarrante it.

and yah it was my first car and decided to take it to the country lol it was fun **** fish tailed on me kinda of scared me a bit, but nothing bad happend. 2 years later i still got the car with only one dent where a stupid chick in a escalade backed up into me

nice car u got there congrats

 

Nice car...

Just one question...wheres your nose? Weight modification?

 

 

He's gonna repaint it.

 

Yep, the nose was spider webbing pretty badly, so I am going to get it repainted and also I will most likely be adding 91/92 ground effects.

 

That's what Metalli says, but I still believe that some1 came at night and unbolted it all.

 

Yep, and then they put it in the garage for me. I had been meaning to get around to that sooner or later.
