I wasnt exactly sure where to put this because the car really isnt shined up at the moment as I just got it. But anyway I picked up this beauty for a good price. Its an 88 iroc with the 5.7, power everything, T tops, cruise control. Only 96k miles on her and she runs like a champ. Needless to say I'm pretty freakin excited about this car and cleaning it up. Theres a few little things that need done but overall its in great shape. I was told it was garaged most of its life so theres very minimal rust for it being a PA car. So tell me what ya think. Later, Kevin

nice looking IROC you got there. You say its a PA car, where in PA may I ask? I know how hard it is to find a nice thirdgen around here and I was lucky to find my GTA.

Hey kaseobeer, were you at PCT just before 3:00 today? I thought I saw you turning right by Rose St. Apts. Heading towards 3rd street. Unless there's another white iroc with impala style wheels on it. I was walking in front of a hot blonde chick. You probably noticed her.

It always confused me, too. But now I use it all the time since I lived there a while.

The people of "Pgh." are a breed all their own. They buy their clothes at Pants 'n At and they all LOVE Dawny **** (Donnie Iris).

Anyway, I LOVE your new IROC!!!! I am VERY jealous!!

Put you some IROC rims on that baby quick-like and she will be perfect.

I'd say you got a pretty good deal on that! Body looks straight. With a new bright white paint job, and some different wheels, that thing would look pretty Ill.
