Blue IROC 5 Speed

Looking for a Blue IROC Five Speed, must be original paint, low mileage and a super clean car with history and papers.

Thanks

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

Any particular year you're looking for Ken?

There were several blues through the 6 years of IROC production.

1985 through 1989... I don't what the air bag cars.. 1989 would be my best choice.

Thanks.

87 5.7 with Leather - https://saginaw.craigslist.org/cto/d...474883337.html

Not a 5 speed but bigger motor, low miles, leather interior & t-tops.

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

I found my Blue Five Speed.. Its a 1989 Loaded Five Speed IROC.. All Original and a nice driver. I was planning on finding a perfect car like Dan's 85 L69. But I found out very fast that when your looking for a Blue, Five Speed and Loaded Options, they don't come up very often .I will drive it for the year and then our team at Mascar Classics will do a complete restoration on her.

Thanks

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

BTW - I think I considered that same blue car you bought. Did it come from Illinois by chance? I bought this one in Wisconsin and had to drive a bit for it but it was worth it as it has 77k miles on it.

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

Yes, I received the louvers late last week. I'm away this week but hope to get to installing them next week. Gotta love Blue IROCs with louvers! I found mine on Craigslist Wisconsin, I think it was there a few weeks. I think it was fairly priced for a hard to find, loaded, G92 5-speed car with lower miles and zero rust ever. I did see yours on Chicago craigslist and thought about pulling the trigger on that one after trading emails with the owner but decided to wait it out for a lower mile car - then this one popped up. Incidentally, I don't know of any others but haven't really been looking hard either now that I found one.

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

I did a search across Craigslist boards. I had been using Google then on a whim tried Yahoo one night and it popped up on Craigslist Wisconsin. It had been up on that board for two months when I found it.

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

That's funning, that's the same way I found mine! I woke up one morning and said to myself, there has to be a way to do a nation way craigslist search. I was searching Google and my car was the second on the list. I was searching images and the craigslist cars never come up. Starting restoration, super clean car.

Yeah, I'd like to see that build thread also.

To search multiple craigslist boards you can use this example syntax, it's how I found mine;

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

You didn't waste any time there Ken!

I use SearchTempest - will give you any and all across the country. I also have bought cars by searching closed auctions on e-bay, got my 91 1LE Z-28 that way for less than the opening bid.

You're welcome.

"Closed auctions", meaning auctions which have already taken place, Chris?

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

There was one near me on Craigslist for sale when I bought mine (Blue, TPI, 5-Speed, T-Top, 6k Miles) guy wanted $24k.. I got my Vert much cheaper and always wanted a Vert..

They pop up and I find a lot of blue ones so I’ll let you know if I see anything good.. I’m always looking because I’ll probably get another thirdgen at some point..

What coating did you use on the undercarriage and what transmission is that?

Re: Blue IROC 5 Speed

Few more questions on the undercoating. Did you spray the coating or roll it on? Also did you mix if as directed or add anything to thin it more? One last one how many coats did you do?

Thanks
