Yet another of my threads where im not sure where to put it.

Anyways i will most likely be buying this 89 IROC on Tuesday. Only has 99 000 km (not miles) on it. Technically 1 owner (that died 2 years ago). Has been sitting in a garage for 2 years (brother maintained it the best he could during). Before that the owner was to sick to drive it so he just maintained and washed it. I have never seen anything like it in town. On top of that i have been talking to him for months and have him down from 9000 to 6500.

Anyways i have see threads on a few car forums where people can see problems just buy looking at the pics. All i can see is the drivers side door isn't %100 perfectly aligned and its got the stupid 15 inch wheels hehe

 

Duno why the forum said i had 11 images!? Here are the other two.

 

wow man that will be a great buy. I love that color too. i see nothing wrong with it. what motor and does it run good? -Matt

I just noticed its got just the Tuned Port Injection emblems so a 305tpi i assume. Is it a 5 spd?

 

looks like a very clean car but its hard to see with just body pictures are you able to get some under carriage, engine bay or interior pics?

 

Man dude that looks like a really nice iroc! If i seen a car like that around me for that much and if i had that much i would buy it! Does it have the 305 or 350?

With the 15" wheels I bet it's the automatic. If so it's optioned exactly like my '89.
Of course this one is a thousand times nicer then mine. Nice find!!!!

 

Thanks guys .. i cant wait to own it. I am 30 now and i have wanted one since i was about 10. It's a 305 5 speed .. I actually prefer auto but i can live with it! hehe

Runs great with a tiny bit of steering wheel vibe on the highway.

 

Here is a small clip of it running. Stock exhaust so i'm guessing there's something wrong with it. (not me driving) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN0RwePl39A

I don't have any pics of the under body but from what i could see on my knees it looks great!

 

man im telling ya and its a preference but the flowmaster 80 series sounds nice. My iroc had the factory exhaust and then i put the flows on there i love them

 

looks like a pretty sweet find there!
I don't see anything wrong with the drivers door that a hinge/bushing kit wouldn't fix.And also,are you absolutely sure those wheels are 15's & not 16's

 

Looks like a super nice car! And it's a 5 speed to boot! Definaely jump on that. Looks like it may have leather interior too?

 

Optional on '89 IROCs as shown on the '89 Camaro tech data article..

I had them too so while I wait for some bigger IROC wheels to come along I'm using the 16" T/A wheels on mine

 

well is it a TBI, or TPI only the 305 tbi rocs got the 15" rims, etheir way the car looks pretty sweet same color as my 89

 

Huh,I never knew that those wheels came in 15".
well Arizona,when you find the new wheels for the ROC,you can send the old
16"t/a wheels to my house!LOL!
My car would actually like them!
View my photobucket album for pics

 

It's TPI .. I never measured them i just assumed they where 15 since they don't look quite as cool as they should and seem smaller.

Do be honest i need to go look at the car again .. i was just in awe of how nice it looked that i didn't do all the normal things one should when looking over a used car. I had a huge smile on my face the entire time lol

 

What? You didn't even look at the tires while you were on your knees looking at the undercarriage? You must be totally stoked about this car!LOL!
Not that the wheels make a big difference but,I would check the tires before
driving it around.

 

I talked to him a bit more and he has only started it 4 times in the last 2 years for about 5 mins. Drove it for a week in june. Sounds like a guy that knew nothing of storing a car ... It seemed to drive fine but i wasn't able to hammer on it to see how much power it had (no problems at all getting to highway speeds). Hopefully it doesn't need lots of work on seals and tons of carbon build up .. Fuel lines are prolly in bad shape to eh?

iduno what to do now :'(

 

For a car that nice, I'd buy it. Then just do all the regular maintenance to it: oil change (Mobil 1), transmission service (NOT a flush because of the age and unknown service history), rear differential service (use Royal Purple synthetic), brake flush, coolant flush, tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, ignition coil and use all AC/Delco parts). It probably needs tires because of the age so go ahead and put some nice 17s on it with some new tires. Good to go.

 

 

i also agree. plus, you could use all that to bargin the price lower. and by the way what is 99,000km. like 70K miles?

 

90 000 kilometers = 55 923.4073 miles

 

yeah,sounds like a nice car!
And like Compuwiz said,do some much needed maint.
I say (BUY THAT CAR AND DON'T LOOK BACK!)

 

Thats a nice lookin car (same color as my 90 RS) I wouldnt care what is wrong with it, as long as it runs. Just do all of the things compuwiz1937 said and you will probably be just fine. Good luck, and congrats on a nice find!!

 

Had a guy look it over (went over %100 of it with a flash light and gloves) and the only thing he could find wrong with it was the clutch needs adjusting. We drove it for a while and the storage has had no ill effect ... I will just do a full service on it.

 

Man I would buy that car quick.. iroc-z, 305 tpi, 5-speed.. wow great combo and the leather seats.. great find

 

To keep his hands clean!

 

Great looking Car my car is has the same options same year only in white. Also my car is all apart was sitting for 4 years and needs a lot of TLC. Sure wish I could have found that blue one.

 

for $6500 don't even think about it, just buy it and take it home already!

 

are the hood louvers functional?

 

as long as their still attached to the hood in 1 piece they are deff. functional
from an appearance point of view!lol

 

its got the louvers too, very high option car very nice car id say buy it buy it buy it!!!!! i want 1 piece louvers for mine and the 5 speed
