Might depend on the year of the car, blue not available in 88 on the IROC from what the sales brochure shows. Gold wheels and tan interior would probably go together though. Never seen that color combo though.

Re: Odd IROC colour combo

my vert interior is light saddle or medium doeskin depending on who you are buying it from and had the gold package rims, but my exterior was originally dk red (maroon) until the guy I bought it from had a crappy Maaco job of bright red put on. I am going to be repainting it dark blue when I get more cash.

Good job Scott!! The Bt. Blue/gold trim was available 1986-1989.
There was a guy on the Pinks TV show from Texas who had an '86 IROC
Bt. Blue with the gold trim. Car looked stock and had a hell of a motor!!

That's the combo of my 89 Iroc.

I'm not much on the combo. I like the grey-silver/blue combo better.

Medium Beechwood for 1989.

....and the one on Autotrader originally posted, blue with med. beechwood/gold, stripe delete, 15" Irocs, TPI with a T5.....

....that's gotta be INSANELY rare! Not worth much other than it's mileage and condition, but still rare.

Re: Odd IROC colour combo

Is the blue and beechwood really that rare? I'm looking at changing mine to charcoal interior, and grey Iroc wheels.

Nobodys mentioned what a nice car that is. That IROC is going to make someone very happy.

Are you confusing rare with valuable? Sounds like it to me.

Change your interior and wheels to what you like. I seriously, serioulsy doubt it will affect the value of your car at all.

No I'm not worried about the value. I was just curious. My car is not in good enough shape to be worried about being in original condition.
