Background:

I purchased the IROC (as the third owner) on 11/18/92 with 53,340 miles. In the intervening 30 years, I’ve replaced or repaired a ton of parts, so what you see below is, in many ways, only the tip of the iceberg.

Exterior:
*Rare silver metallic paint. Resprayed (06/30/99). The car isn’t a trailer queen so while the paint is generally very good, it does show some chipping around the nose. By the way, I’ve never seen another silver met. car except on TGO
*Decals replaced (GM)
*All window/door weatherstripping replaced (GM)
*Louvers replaced (GM)

Steering components:

*The center link, idler arm, and tie rods were all replaced at some point

Uncommon original options:

*Rear washer/wiper
*Quartz clock in console

Issues:

*The headliner is starting to droop
*The R12 needs a charge
*The battery is due for replacement
*The differential is weeping at the cover

So why am I selling?

During the pandemic I stopped attending car shows and Old Silver started sitting—never a good thing. Not long ago, a falling headliner or an R12 charge would have led to immediate action. Now action is on the back burner—never a good thing. Moreover, as a longtime member/moderator, I’m simply not contributing much to TGO any more. The fast approach of my 76th year is also a contributing factor. While I still enjoy driving the IROC, I think time has come to pass it to someone who will enjoy it as much as I once did.

If questions or concerns arise or if you require more pictures/info, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I don’t want the buyer to experience any ugly surprises. PM me for my cell number if you wish to speak to me. I have a three-inch file of records/receipts for the car dating back many years, so I should be able to answer any and all questions. The buyer is welcome to that file for future reference. By the way, if a part came with a manual or instruction sheet, it will likely be in that file.

Now to business:

$16,000 or a reasonable offer will take Old Silver and every single Camaro-related part or product in my possession. I’d be happy to detail all of the latter, to include a mint Camaro dash pad, race ramps and much, much more.

All the following photos (or any that may be requested) are from November 21 and 22.

Thanks for looking,

OMG James! I am shocked you are selling. Good luck with the sale. I can not think of a better maintained car than yours.

 

WOW !! Nice one....
That is a DEAL......I hope someone here grabs it......it sure has me thinking

 

Interested. PM srnt.

 

Go get it.......

 

Replies sent. If there are any other questions, let me know. I may need a little time to peruse my file for specific dates and so on, but that's not a problem.

Wow, I’m tempted. Not often an example such as this comes along.

 

I have the same car with rear wiper and all but a TPI

 

Wow, someone will be getting a great car! Well worth the asking price, nicely done!

 

Wow amazing looking car! I've never seen a silver one either lol. Seems like red is the hot ticket

 

VERY NICE CLEAN AWESOME COLOR

 

I have met James and the car in person. James is a great guy and this will make anyone interested in a 3rdgen Camaro a nice car!

GLWS, James!

 

Thanks, Street!

I have some center material to restore those LS seats with the factory Camaro fabric.

 

I couldn’t pass this one up. I felt obligated to bring her to the SW where she can be driven year round.

 

Thanks, Ted. I feel no reservations or regret in selling Old Silver to you because I'm certain she'll continue to be looked after. Thinking of her strutting her stuff in the SW pleases me to no end.

Congrats to both James and the buyer!

 

Start of a new journey.

 

Wow, I don't log in for a couple weeks and all of the sudden the most famous silver Iroc has traded hands! It was a great deal indeed, congratulations to the buyer.

 

Welcome to the Silver Metallic Family. Not many left.

 

I was working on LS1/T56 swap into a 92 RS. I had a 1954 Chevy 3100 for sale. I was talking with the buyer and told them about my 92 project. They made me a good offer for the 1954, Ls1 and T56. Sold that and then this one popped up. Seemed like it was meant to be.

 

Thanks. I’ve never seen one with this color combo, honestly didn’t even know it existed.

 

In the years I've been a member here, I can only recall maybe 6 of us with a silver '85.
