Pretty interesting body kit.. I've probably seen it before but it does look pretty unique with the black and white paint job. Check it out and let me know what you think!

i love how ppl just post 2 pics up.. they should be good sellers and post as many pics as they can. and the Seller seems like a total jackass. I bet its its just a LB9 under that hood. Like stated above, 5.7s werent availabe in 86. And i doubt he did a swap or anything. The VIN shows its a lb9

Well technically they were, just in the last of the production year. https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/techdb.shtml scroll down to the 86 model year and you will see that 50 l98 iroc's were produced. Although, I doubt that one is one of the rare 50.

I was going to mention that he probably regrets making his auction a 'No Reserve' auction. That body kit alone is worth almost a grand (well, depending on who its being sold to of course). Yes, I'm quite sure thats the turbo kit...I see a guy on Ebay who is trying desperately to sell the turbo kit, and his feedback hasn't changed from 0 for a looooong time.

its one of those things that people put on their car that doesnt help it in any way, it just makes their car different. Similar to euro tails, windshield stickers, front bras, liscense plate covers etc. Respectible forms of this are wheels, exhaust tips, and window tint among others.

Forget about the side stripes and body kit for a second.

Just wondering - do you camaro guys like the upper part of the car in all black and the rest in another color?

That part of the paint resembles some of the 4th gen camaros.

I like the black top... I think that part of it looks sharp, especially on a white car. Makes it look like a drop top from a distance..

Heres another one with a black top;

This gets rehashed evertime someone on the planet earth trys to sell an 86 L98 car. Rumor has it that if we are all good boys, we will be blessed with 1986 L98 cars of our own, as soon as Santa drops them off on christamas eve

If you read his thread he doesnt say it is the stock engine, auctually he says in the description that "1986 IROC Z CAMARO LOADED 5.7 TPI VETTE ENGINE IROC-Z" so most likly in my opinon that it is a corvette engine that was swapped in.
I also like the black on top.
