1987 Iroc-z convertible 5 speed
This is a well optioned 1987 20th anniversary Iroc-Z convertible - Check the SPID picture for all the options. Of the 744 cars built the likely percentage of 5 speed full load cars is probably no more than 10% ... 30 years later how many are left? Impossible to pin it down for sure but I would say a safe guess would be 30 original factory ordered 5 speeds?
The few other cars that I have seen optioned like this also look to be customer special orders through a dealer. It seems that dealers at the time were much more likely to order an automatic version for stock or their showroom as it was easier to sell.
Somewhere along the way the original 305 TPI has been replaced with a 350 TPI with some performance upgrades. It has a bigger cam, headers/3" exhaust, SLP runners, MSD billet distributor.
The car has 52,XXX miles and is a rust free US car. It has a clean accident history and has only been repainted once.
What I know about this car:
It started life as a customer special order out of New Jersey, moved to San Diego and then finally up to Vancouver in 2015. It has been safety inspected and is currently registered in BC. The original roof is still "OK" but should be recovered at some point to be perfect. Paint is still quite good but has a few small scratches and chips. Although not 100% perfect I would describe this as a very nice weekend driver that could easily be upped to a show/collector level car.
Originally red on red leather now red on red/black interior. All gauges work properly, no dash cracks or bad interior plastics and has a new NOS leather oem shift ****. When I bough the car it had an aftermarket steering wheel which I replaced with a new Chuck Pelton restored/recovered leather stock steering wheel. I also just replaced the MAF sensor (brand new Bosch one - not a reman one).
Alpine period correct stereo - A perfect Alpine 7903 pullout cd, Alpine ERE-G180 EQ/crossover, Alpine 3522 amps (x3) 8" sub. Sounds great and nothing modified that can't be returned to stock if desired. I will deduct $1000 off the price if you do not want the stereo.
price dropped to $11,000 USD Firm.
This is a great factory TPI/5-speed authentic Iroc-Z convertible - the 350 with the 5 speed and 3:45 gears really make this a fun car to drive. PM me your contact number if you would like to talk in more detail about the car.
