Re: 1990 Convert

IROC verts in that (presumed excellent) condition are rare and worth some money. Does it have very low miles? That would make it very valuable. Why for the life of me, they don't balance the wheels from the inside? Those pound-on edge weights are terrible.

It now has 126000 on it. It was bought as a daily driver it has a few light scratches and a few little flaws like the steering wheel cover. The couple I got it from are in their 70's now.

Re: 1990 Convert

Sounds like you have a super clean, mostly original drivers car. For the verts, that is rare. If that is the original upholstery, it could be quite collectible, even with the miles.

Re: 1990 Convert

1990 was the last year of the IROC and not many convertibles were made

Only 1,294 convertibles I believe. A 5-speed would be even more rare and desireable.

The Miles bring the value down to earth. If it was under 50k miles it could be one of those eBay cars people ask ridiculous prices for. It’s worth a fair value.

Paint looks good from the pics. It’s a desirable color.

Missing some wheel caps and I’m sure with the mileage the wheels could use some refurbishing. If it were mine I might order those Hawks 17” wheels.

If you put up a pic of the RPO codes in the console you can find out more about what other options it has including the rear end gears, suspension, etc..

If it’s clean and not rusty underneath the miles don’t matter so much.. Especially if the motor was maintained and any leaks fixed over time..

Nice Vert!

Where can you buy a report that tells how many were made? I’d like to have one. Thanks!
