I am new to the f-body world. Just about 2 months ago I came across this 1988 Iroc with t-tops the 5.7 and a 700r4. It has about 82,000 miles. This is my first time posting pics so bear with me.

I picked this up for $1800. I just put new tires a little tune up and changed the oil. Please tell me what you think.

 

Rock on Beavis! Damm only 1800 bucks. Thats great. I got mine for 1550, but yours looks in way better shape than mine did a year ago.

Think about it, you got it for 1800 bucks, put say another 8-10 into it and for under 20,00 grand it will be like new and you will have a car that will stomp the **** outta many others on the road.

 

Here are some more pics







The missing luever flew off the other day on the highway

 

Wow, very nice find! Aside from some cosmetic work, it looks to be in great shape. I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do ours!

 

Nice, for a few hundred you'd have the car rockin like new.

 

Sweet Roc dude! Can't pass that deal up, I got my car for the same price!

 

Yeah, looks like you got a real good deal.....so far. Just put a little elbow grease into it and it will look even better in no time. Congrats!

 

Looks like you got a great deal. Some minor paint work and youll be all set. Nice steal

 

Thank guys, I do have a few questions. Is the shifter correct with the year and it needs all new weatherstriping, where can I find some? I also rebuilt all the calipers and put Gas Adjust shocks and struts on. I will eventualy bring it back to complete stock, especialy the interior. Also, the person that had it before me took the smog system of and the catalytic convertor off is that ok, there is no emissions here in Texas so Im not too worried about it.

 

very nice! It looks like that shifter came off a Sunfire though. I believe yours should have the push button style shifter

 

nice another gunmetal z like mine. i would just make sure it was an iroc if i were you, the lettering delete package was pretty rare i think. also, i gotta get those tips, theyre hot. good find man.

 

It does have the decal on the side. You can barely see it in the first pic, its kinda hard to see due to the glare but it is a real IROC i checked the vin and RPO codes.

 

i was pretty sure the code was b4z. o well, my bad.

 

i was pretty sure the code was b4z. o well, my bad.

 

Only in 85, 86 and 87. After that it was Z28.

 

Does anyone know the RPO code for IROC in 89?

Thanks

 

Wow, $1800, 5.7 liter, 9 bolt, 1988, IROC, T-tops...YOU STOLE MY DREAM CAR!!! (just needs to be black on black, with gold pin striping)

Although...let's see it run against my 94

Way to go! Awesome deal, maybe a little more money, some help from these boards and you'll have one awesome car!

 

TWO WORDS

"FLOW MASTERS"

damn only 1800 thats good for that milege

 

nice iroc-z im diggin the 4th gen tips actually

 

It's one word...and yes, I totally agree, flowmasters 40 series is the best and only way to go!

 

Its already got a flowmaster muffler, its pretty dang loud, but im not for sure what series it is

 

You could just look right above your post at mine where I said after 87 it was Z28.

 

Yeah, I didn't realize until later that Z28 was the code I thought they meant "b4z" was for Z28 camaro after 87.

Thanks

 

85, 86 and 87 had a B4Z rpo code due to the fact that both Z28s and IROCs were made.

Looks like a good find man, just needs a little TLC.

And after many.. many.. different kinds of mufflers, I'm dead set AGAINST flowmaster.

 

Nice IROC. It should make a very interesting toy. As for the weatherstripping, check Hawk's (link at the top of the page) for the weatherstripping. Classic Industries is also a company you'll definitely want to look into (you can build a 69 Camaro from scratch with their catalog).

 

where are all the deals like that when I have an extra two grand

 

Great deal, looks clean!

 

All for the low low price of two thousand grand?!?! WOW! UNBELIEVABLE!

 

Ya i dont know what he ment either.

 

Actually, if you read High Geared's post carefully, you'll see that it's twenty-hundred grand, not two thousand grand.

All BSing aside, you did real well. The hood is a little rough, but that paint job is sweet, and the low milage is cool.

 

not of anything to do with this, but where can i find the thing for mine, i just got a camaro yesterday,

thanks,
jeremy williams

 

thats in the center console under the lid on the passanger side.

 

Hey
JG1 that means you have an alluminum driveshaft! I need to find one for my IROC. I like the fouth gen tips too, they suit the car. As for the price DEAL and I love the colour, my next IROC will be gunmetal, but for now I will make due with black.

Have fun with your toy

Speedmachine

 

i didnt know there was such a love for this color...i thought i was the only one. imo it looks great with the rare charcoal gfx

 

you got a real nice car for 1800... you got just about everything but g92,

 

Congrats and welcome to the world of Irocs. I also am a proud new owner of an 85 Iroc I bought for $850 from Baltimore MD and drove it home 2000 miles 2 days ago. Your car is sweeeeeeet and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying mine. If you don't mind I will post a pic of my new toy. Thanks for sharing and have fun restoring and keep us posted on the work you are doing to her. I know mine needs some interior restoration and some weather stripping work as well. If you find a heck of a deal on weather stripping please pm me.

 

MAN........ if you bought the car I'm seeing for 850 bucks.......

I envy you.

That is all there is to say.

 

Dang, I feel the same way you do, it was like a dream come true when I saw it. Here are the details of the car if anyone cares to look.

Never bought from them, but heard good things, and the prices aren't to bad.

 

Wow, congrats on the purchase! You got a sweet deal for $1800, it looks to be in very good shape. Welcome to the IROC world. You got one of the top end IROC-Z's, you should be proud. Our cars could just about pass for twins, except for the color and 1 year diff. I've got the same setup with the 5.7L, 700R4, 9-bolt and disc brakes all around, etc all that good stuff.

I got my baby for $1400 almost 3 years ago, and it looked in alot worse shape than yours. Now mine's going under the knife with a LT1/T56 swap, 4th gen interior swap and a full suspension upgrade this winter. It'll be fun! I'm truly happy with my IROC and all of it's little flaws, it's my most prized posession and even though I get pissed off fixing it sometimes, I love it all haha. Hope you have fun with yours too!

 

Yeah, pretty sweet! Welcome to the world of thirdgens .
