i found a 1987 yellow iroc. and wanna know if its rare? ive heard they are but i dont know.

thanks.

 

kinda-sorta but not really

 

They were a color choice from 85-88
In 87... 3,052 out of 137,760

Though overall... slightly shy of 20,000 for those three years.

Not a dime a dozen, but a lesser made color for sure.

I've always liked em. Haven't seen one in over 15 years I'd say

 

Yellow was an IROC only color for the camaro in 1987. Yellow appears to be an option on Camaros from 85-87 on the IROC & SC. In 1988 it became an SC only color. it was dropped mid Model year (around January 1988 IIRC). It was not offered again on any 3rd gen Camaro.

The yellow in 1985 has a different color number for that one year, but was the same from 1986 - 1988. There was also a pale yellow that had a very cream appearance, I think its only offering was 1985 but I may be wrong, I also believe it was a SC, possibly a Berlinetta only color and NA on the Z or IROC-Z. The 1985 to 1986 color number change may be from the fact that in 1986 The F-body got a clearcoat on all of their finishes. I am not sure how different the 1985 color is.

Personally my favorite colors on the F-body is Yellow, matter of factly there is much desirability over 1992 jamacia Yellow or JY 1992 Formulas, T/A's and GTA's as it is apparently very desirable.

I hope that helps.

 

Don't think so.



Factory yellow '87, not an Iroc by any stretch. At least it will look like one once finished though.

 

What yellow is it?

Do you have the SPID?

about 6 or 7 years ago before i bought my third gen i used to always pass a pale yellow irorz that sat next to barn about 150' off the road. I always thought it was odd, you dont see alot of yellow t-gens. the place has been sold since then and i dont know where the car ever went.

 

I'll have to look, it looks like yellow gold but it's faded out weird since it sat for 9 years before i bought it, plates were last legal in '00. I'm going to try to save the door labels when i swap the doors but no guarantees on that one. I had an '87 yellow gold Iroc years ago and that's the color this one will end up as.

 

This kinda bums me a bit. The car I want for my own more than anything else is a yellow IROC. Preferably a 350/5 spd with ttops... I know they never made a 350 5spd, but I know people do the swap all the time.. so as long as the car was in good working order and was still TPI, I wouldn'y mind. A yellow IROC to me is almost as good as my dream car '69 z28 302... lol.

 

Go here: www.iroc-z.com You will find all the production data for these cars there. Yellow is slightly rare. I myself own a yellow B4c 86 IROC. Only one of 3 as far as I can tell.

 

here's what mine looks like...

 

My buddy has one, and there are 2 more in town. I see them every day. For the right price, I will make anybody's Iroc Yellow! I painted one Torch Red once.

 

85iroc-z, what wheels are those?

 

HP5 by HP design. Got them at www.hawksthirdgenparts.org, but I dont think tbhey have them anymore because I dont see them on their website. I needed adapters to get them to fit.

 

Here is a friend of mine's 87 SC that's yellow. They bought the car new, and its a factory yellow. Sorry the pictures are kinda crappy quality, they where taken probably about 6 years ago. They still have the car, Now its getting some body rot removed and a 350tpi thrown in it.

 

I was mistaken,
I read the brochure wrong, it states " *IROC Z28 Available in these colors only." I read it to mean that ONLY the IROC Z28 was available in these colors.

It is kind of misleading, but then I realized that RED was also one of those colors listed under the *...

My mistake.

[QUOTE=okfoz;4066880]Yellow was an IROC only color for the camaro in 1987. That same year it was a Formula only color on the Firebird. In 1988 it became an SC only color, but remained a Formula only color. it was dropped mid Model year (around january 1988 IIRC). It was not offered again on any 3rd gen Camaro.

It might be a rare color, but for fact: I purchased a new early '87 Sport Coupe V-6 that was "Iroc Yellow" - and had dealer installed "RS" badges, although I was sure they were an add-on. It was a base V-6 with a 5-speed, and had the body cladding like a Z-28, but otherwise bare bones. I'm not sure if someone ordered it that way, or not - but I remember spying it from the street in November of '86 at Potamkin Chevrolet in Philadelphia, and I made an immediate u-turn and bought it that night. I thought it was an Iroc, but bought it anyway because it was an odd duck.

 

There was a California RS Camaro Sport Coupe, it was available with only the V6, but according to the Specifications released by Chevrolet, they were only available in Black, Bright Red or White. As for Yellow, according to the specifications it was available on the SC and the SC/LT, I guess I need to correct this because it is the second time I had to respond to it.
