Nope,

Car's probably an RS made to look like a IROC

Get the VIN and run it through CARFAX

 

I was just curious. Im not looking to purchase. I own $10 right now. Thats it-lol

 

I have actually seen quite a few Irocs with those wheels.
I don't know if they were stock. I don't know why someone would take off the 16 by 8s and replace them with those though.
Kory

 

That would be pretty stupid

 

None that I know of. My best guess would be that's a real IROC. A friend of mine has an'89 IROC and he had those wheels added, I guess someone before him put on some chrome rims, they started to rust, so he got what he could. It's a lot easier to change wheels, than to repaint a car with the stripes and decals.

 

did ANY Irocs come with TBI?

 

yup

 

That's Fu*ked up...

 

Well the only diffrence in the Iroc is a suspension upgrade correct?

 

Very few.In the Camaro White Book there is a picture of a white '88 IROC convertible with the 15" RS wheels.According to the book 16" IROCS were optional in '88.

 

i believe 91zman is correct. those wheels still WERE an option on IROCs until the iroc look-a-like 15 inchers came out...

To the best of my knowlegde, I could be wrong, IROC never came with TBI it was 305TPI, and second in the ealry models those wheels did come on them.

I've just been looking at so many lately.

An looking at the picture, there is no bagding on that car, I bet good money on it that its not a IROC-Z becuase IROC-Z I am almost postive never came with the LO3 the worst of all engines every made.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But there it is...

 

its just the base cheapest iroc you could buy its so basic of an iroc is actually pretty rare!!:lala:

 

its not an iroc..if it was first the 89 in the hard top would have had a 350 tpi, and if it had t-tops it would have a 305 tpi, never an efi. whoever buys that is gettin ripped off sadly

 

Yes, some did come standard with them, starting in 88.

 

IROCs had TBIs?? Are you guys sure? I thought they all had TPIs

 

It is an IROC-Z people. Yes, L03's were available in them, this is a really base IROC-Z. T-Tops have nothing to do with engines, 350's and 305 could be ordered with or without them.

 

YES. Some did. And some came with TBI also.

 

Yup.

 

yes it did matter if t-tops or not.. b/c of the body twist.

 

350 and 305 IROC-Z's were available with T-Tops dude.

 

That's an IROC-Z, just like the formulas, they could have a 305 TBI, that's the base engine, TPI was the upgrade. The 305 TBI was the highest upgrade for the RS, it makes sence. Just like some z28's had their base engine the Lg4.
Unforgiven, the Lo3 isn't the worst engine by a long shot. The Lg4 was worse and if you want to talk about 70's 350 in the base vette that made 145hp. So what was the worst engine ever
I like how he goes into explaining all the flaws on the car and people are still bidding.

 

The base model Iroc in 88 and 89 had 15x7's. In 88 they were a standard 15x7 aluminum wheel used since 82--but they were painted all silver(no aluminum showing at all) and had a different center cap(all silver with Iroc Z in the center). I have a set of these--now on my 91 GMC Jimmy 4dr 2wd. In 89 they were a mini 16x8 Iroc wheel. Sized down to 15x7, but looked the same as the 16x8's. Those wheels on that car aren't Iroc wheels.

 

As stated earlier by IROCTWENTYGR8, you could get a 350 w/ t-tops. It's a common mistake not to think so because I believe it started in '91 where you couldn't.

 

My '88 IROC has those 15" wheels stock, but in gold not silver. The color matched the gfx. It is also a TBI LO3. Pretty fully loaded otherwise.

 

Look, look! Its one of those non-existent 350 Irocs WITH t-tops!!!

 

LOL

 

Finally... somebody with the right answer.

Although... I can't tell from the pics, but those look like they might be the painted wheels. I just can't see the center caps well enough to identify them, but regardless... those aren't the right wheels for that year car.

 

 

.

 

Its really sad that so many people know so little about these cars. I'm glad to see the correct answer was posted eventually but this thread is a good testiment that most people here don't know what they're talking about.

As for the car being an iroc or not being an iroc, who cares? In this case the only differences would be swaybars, springs, wonderbar, and a leather steering wheel, ebrake handle, and shifter. Not enough to worry about. $3000 for an 89 Camaro is about right, I'd say from the pics its a clean car and thats a fair price.

 

it must be an iroc. I don't know why someone would do all that work otherwise

*Iroc taillights
*Iroc side and rocker badging
*Iroc lower body striping
*Iroc hood
*Iroc grille/fogs
*black headlight buckets

though it does have RS wheels.

the owner prolly has a RS as well and wanted to keep the 16" wheels. I know I would.

otherwise that's alot of effort to make your car look like a stock IROC.

 

That kind of dedication isn't that unusual. An acquaintence of an acquaintence is turning an 88 coupe into an Iroc. He's swapped the rear bumper and he's going to swap the doors, springs, wonderbar, etc etc etc... This is on a V6 coupe no less. Talk about a worthless starting point, but hey if its what the guy wants to do...

 

I have an 83 Z28 and from the looks of it you couldn't tell it wasn't a 91-92 (except for the dash). thatt looks like a nice car.

 

Drew, why did you not set these people straight? The 16 inch wheels were standard on the 85-87 IROCs. The 15" wheel became standard in 88 with the 16" being an upgrade. Also, the 305 EFI engine was available on IROCs in 89 as the base engine. Also, the 350 with ttops was available until 1990. Just so there isn't any question on this, the 350/ttop combination started its availability in 87.
