OH ****.....man, I feel soooo sorry for you. Whats the story?

 

$14,000 in damage... i walked away...

i was driving down a 4 lane high way when from dehind a snow drift a 2002 Jeep Grand cherokee blew his yeild sign and pulled out in front of me when i locked up my brakes and hit his rear passanger side wheel... he is at full fault and got a ticket

we are hopeing for $7000 at least from inshurance....

 

That sucks man.Glad your OK.Dont plan on getting that much for your car though.I hope you at least went to the hospital.

 

mabey one day i can buy another 86 ROC and restore it to how my car was... untill then i can only look back, it was a sweet car i'll miss it

 

Man thats sucks, are you gonna get another third gen? or hows the frame?

 

I'm guessing his frame is screwed, it'd be a miracle if it wasn't.

Sorry about your car man. I guess the bright side is that you're ok.

 

A fcken Iroc-Z omg... poor car...poor you that sucks man

 

i am lookin at: LT-1 4th gens, w/ 6-speed /// 87-92 Fox-body mustangs w/ 5-speed...

as for the frame look at pic #4 the window is all the way up

 

holy crap , at least your not hurt.

 

it has been 1.5 weeks since the wreck... and i've test drove this car alredy.



1996 Pontiac Trans Am WS-6 6-speed

 

Damn that sucks that you lost that great IROC... but 96 TA sounds like a good replacement.

 

Ohh jesus that really sucks. Are you ok? Are you going to part it out?

 

cause you have a camaro

 

Hey I never said I wanted anything off it.. But things like engine and drivetrain components, at the right price, well then I may be interested, and it doesnt matter if that stuff came from a camro or a bird..

 

I agree with parting it out. I would buy it back from the insurance company. Even if it costs you 500 or so you should be able to make up your cost with ease.

 

Wait why was you drivin that beauty in the snow. Shame Shame

 

damn that sucks

least ur not hurt and ur getting money back also...

id definently hold on to the Iroc and part it out or take the whole front apart and check the structural damage and if nothing else part it out and make a good profit.

That was a sweet ride

 

Looks good, but may I recommend shopping around for an LS-1 car?

 

its a shame, but don't go with a 4th gen

 

what a shame. i don't even want to know how much damage i did to my one lumina. all i know is that it took me a month to get it back on the road, i rippled the roof, bent the frame bad. total repair this far is around $1200

i so wish you were closer, i'd love to repair that warrior.

 

First, I'm glad you are okay.

Second, damn I'm gonna miss that car. It was one of my top ten favorites on the board.

Sorry man.

 

that is a real loss. i feel for you

 

maybe he wants one?



sorry for your loss man, I know we all hope it doesn't happen to us, but its gotta happen to someone, sorry it had to be you.

 

sorry what happened tim That really sucks man. Atleast your okay, id say save it for another 3rd gen so you can make as or more beautiful then your 86 iroc

 

Yea dude, bummer to hear about your loss. Good stuff about the 4thgen though!

 

Damn, that car was gorgeous, you had just put the decals back on too

 

Damn man....what a shame. Glad to hear your ok though..thats the most important....even though its a tragic loss for the car......it can still be replaced...you cant. Hope everything works out for ya bud.

 

Holy crap, that sucks man. Your car was beautiful.. I was hoping to see it at ThirdGen Fest this year. Glad you're okay though, you can always get another car.

 

dude that totally sucks. that car was super nice. u shouldnt have been driving it in the snow though. is there anyway you could find another iroc body and swap all the parts from your onto it. like interior and drive train. sry to hear and see the bad news. take many pics of it to remember. that was a low mile car too wasnt it?

 

Does the engine fire up?

Even if it doesn't buy it back and part it out. You will get your moneys worth. I might want some stuff too.

 

the worst thing is the day the wreck happend... earlyer my RONAL R-15's came (ploished w/ gold insertes) we are sending them back w/ a 20% restocking fee so i am out $230 there...

also i was in the prosses of ordering a tranny rebuild w/ TCI shift kit, TCI 2400RPM stall and 342 gears and a new posi and nittos for the IROC wheels. we were planing to see 14.20's at the track, so i am canciling all of that

 

Damn Jeep drivers think they own the road lol. Specially in the snow 4x4 owners think they can do anything.

 

but since it has been gone my friends (who were never too thrilled about the car) are admitting that my IROC is one of the cleanest third gens they have seen where we live. also they were saying that it was fast, cuz most third gens around here were dogs and beat to he*l.

 

trust me i've been looking but i whant a WS-6 car or SS car... and they whant $$$ lots of it... and i know durring the LS-1 years there isn't a whole lot difference but i luv the hoods(camaro SS/WS-6), wheels(ZR-1/ WS-6), and wings(camaro SS)

but thats not to say i haven't been looking at 3rd gens, i can't ever get away from them

 

hey i take offense towards that!

 

thanks for your kind words... i had no clue anyone even knew my car on these boards...

listening to what some of you have said i looked for some 3rd gens and i have my heart set on a manual shift car (whitch is a rare find on a fuel injected 3rd gen) and i found a:
1988 IROC-Z, 305 TPI, T-5 tranny, T-Tops, 79000 miles... needs paint, it is Burgundy w/ black and gold interior.

$2950 some time next week i hope to drive it...

 

Good luck with whatever car you choose.
4th gens have thier pros and cons
Pros, great power and drivetrain, modern insterior.
Cons, engine bay, visibilty.

That 305TPI 5 speed sounds like a great deal.

 

did you cry? I would have.

 

Stay with a 3rd gen man. Think about what you could do with another IROC with $7000-$14000 :hail:

 

Wow man......sorry about your car.....i could of sworn about a year back or so...that car was in good condition at the time....its hard to fix...trust me on that...ill show u mine...what it looked like before and after....83 z28 i was like so pissed and like thought the world ended when this happin to me.....but i bounced back and bought an IROCZ and for 2 years got a hobby and now i love what i did too it......and as a matter of fact im goin to post some pics of it....some already probby seen this one already but some havent........and no...not alot of peeps like the part WHITE INTERIOR....hence my nick name.......WHYTSPEEDDEVIL!

 

Sorry to hear about your car Tim, it was almost quite identical to mine. The positive thing about all this is you are ok, and the insurance is going give you some money back. Dude, if you want to go 4th gen, then go ahead some of them are nice cars. Good luck on your next purchase bro....

 

you guys make it sound like this was all of his fault because he decided to go out in bad weather, now if he said he slid and smashed into a pole then you can pick on him all you want , but if it wasnt for that stupid jeep driver running his yield sign this camaro wouldnt be dead
*cries*

 

yeahhh.... thats what i'm talkin about. also i will post pics of the new car ( what ever it may be) when i get it, nomatter what i get, i will remane a member of these boards

 

Ouch! That really bites! I cannot imagine how I'd be if that happened to my car. So sorry for your loss.
BTW - Did you get "declared value" coverage?? It covers your *** when you've got money rolled into a car like ours.

 

What gets to me is seeing pics like that then looking at mine and going damn...it could happen. You always fear it adn hopefully it'll never come when you have to say goodbye to such a gorgeous ride on such bad terms.

I must say for being a stock looking thirdgen, and everyone knows i hate stock lookign stuff it was clean man.

MAkes me glad mine only sees dry sunny days now

 

Doesnt your car look stock except the hood the spoiler might not look stock but for some1 that didnt know camaros they might think its stock.

 

shaved antenna, custom clear lights, removed molding, removed driprails, custom paint.

I get people asking me if its a special edition since it has a taller spoiler than stock...mostly when i go to dealer for parts i get rookie sales guys telling me its a special edition to look like a iroc race car, like no guys i bought that spoiler aftermarket

 

That totally sucks man!!! We had the pretty much the same car too but mine has Silver instead of Gold. I don't have time right now to read the whole thread but I read what happened. Glad your ok.

 

I shed a tear over here for your loss buddy.

That thing getting parted out at all or did the junkyard take it?
