I am in the process of looking at the pics of this car and reading emails from this seller.
This is a stand out car - one of the best I have seen from what I can tell in terms of a severely modded car. With today’s prices for parts and labor - it could be conceivable that a car could cost a lot of money to build. My father builds 80K classic cars all year long. I have seen the parts lists run high. Parts are at a premium whether the car is a 69 Camaro or an Iroc.
Who knows if the car cost 80K? It could have. I see expensive late model cars all of the time. If you have the dream and the cash - go for it.
We should not bash this guy like this.
Thanks for reading.

I agree it does seem bizzare that someone would take the loss. The amazing thing is - it happens more often than we realize. It is just name calling and such does not help. Just trying to help this guy out. Last comment regarding this flow of dialogue.

If you have over 80K invested I would definately be interested in any and all pics to jmortiz_22@yahoo.com
Now whos the one calling names? I have seen 16 year olds take care of their cars more than an older person it kind of depends on the kind of person you sell the car too. I am 21 now and I know I would take better care of that car than most of the older guys I know. So if you dont want names called at you dont name call at others.

I personally know the owner of this vehicle. I have seen it several times. The last time I saw it was a few years ago, before he did a few things to it. The car is beautiful! I have several pictures of it also. it looks like a blue IROC-Z (perfect paint) with ZR-1 Rims(last time I saw it) and 91-92 Ground effects. It has a chrome bar below the door moldings with IROC-Z embossed on it. If I had what he's asking, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

jmortiz_22@yahoo.com and I can post them.
1. Was the ET/MPH you posted with the nitrous, and if so, what shot? I hope thats not a 150 or better.
2. Would you consider trades? Like maybe an mid 11 second low mile 4th gen TA? 3 F-bodies may be a bit much for me...
3. Why do you have to be 2500 miles away?
And could you please PM some pics?

Can I have the pics also ??? It's more for "retro" sake than anything....
davehoppie@yahoo.com
Also to all the people that have questioned the "quality" (money spent, etc.) of this car, reguardless if $80K or $80 million has been spent on this sweet ride....
It IS! worth every last penny of the asking price !!! You won't be disappointed
