My 1989 Camaro IROC-Z Convertible


Hello friends, I've been a member for 4 or 5 years now and I have never really posted any pictures of my third gen. It is very far from complete and still stock. I am still contemplating what I want to do with her in regards of engine swap. She's a convertible and a LB9 so she is quick but not quick enough. I would like a little more power. I don't think anything insane. She is my daily driver and despite of its original paint fading and top getting old I still get compliments almost everyday. I am very happy with this third gen and just wanted to share it with you guys. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for reading and good luck to everyone here on this site with your third gens. Can't wait to see more!

Re: My 1989 Camaro IROC-Z Convertible

That's one beauty of a vert. I like the power socket mod, by the handbrake handle. Very handy!

I've always liked the IROC-Z, I look at it and I can't think of a single line or curve or detail I would change. I think Chevy just nailed the look, first time out of the box.

I would agree - also one of the best looking convertibles ever made in my opinion. I liked the Z28's in 1982 but when the IROC showed up in 85 it was love at first sight for me.

I agree, I wouldn't trade my IROC for any other car in the world. 3rd gens are the last best looking camaro's and firebird's IMO.
