Thats freaking awsome, i bet that car is worth so much $$$$, i cant believe someone jacked the rims though.

Stippy17

iTrader: (6)

Wow..might have the new record for odometer reading. It has 4.3 miles!

The wheels were taken off to put custom wheels on, but it was being put in storage before that could happened so the guy or whoever it was threw those steel wheels on. The new owner stated something to that effect in the comments below the vid.

I dont even know what to say about that.Too bad it wasnt a good guy cammed 305 tpi.Still should be worth a decent amount.Was there a dealership 4 miles away or something.j/k.I doubt it was really found.I heard the guy say he had the title and someone got the keys.I guess thts someones way of investing.depending on what he made from it it might not have been a bad Idea.

wjiroc86

ohh why would you ever want to swap out original iroc wheels, the guy must have been retarded and forgot he left it in the trailer lol jk

It still looks as if it was put away after it was delivered to the dealership though.

Hey Kevin, do you have any info on how he found this? Thanks. James

That's UNBELIEVEABLE. That car is a piece of history and belongs in a museum. That also has to be the lowest and newest conditioned Third Gen EVER. What I don't get is how he took delivery without the rims and GFX being put on. The rims were left off to be switched or whatever (which was stupid, if he doesn't have them) but the GFX were supposed to be put on before the customer could take the car IIRC. It looks as if he took it right off of the truck without any prep.

UnWOWbelieveable! The whole story would be incredibly interesting.

It does look as though there was no prep done to the car which is even more amazing. The carpet plastic still tells the dealer to remove it. The front air dam is in the back seat waiting to be put on the car with all the hardware still in the packaging. Freaking amazing
----------
The TPI engine was not available with the T5 in 1985. The best engine would be the L69 305 HO with the 3.73 posi rear... Hopefully it isnt the LG4

That is sooo cool. Wonder what the story of the Road runner in front of it is. That looks museum quality as well.

blg0720

And it probably would be worth even more if they hadn't OPENED IT. Just a theory, but then they could have not put fingerprints all over the hatch and such.

Oh well...I'd be curious to see what color it is. If you read the comments after, you can see he wants to sell it to the "right person who knows the right price". Too bad, I don't have $50 Gs to drop on it.

And ya'll BELIEVE this?

Looks like a faked "original"...Check out the tail lights.....HELLO!!!! Those are 90-92 lights. If it hasn't moved but 4 miles, why were the tail lights swapped out?

I smell fake.

igotta355z28

iTrader: (1)

those are the right tail lights stephen........here check this out to see the differences http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...taillamps.aspx wether its fake or not i dont know.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

I see your link, but still don't believe a VENDORS ad. I didn't they those were around in 85.....

igotta355z28

iTrader: (1)

yeah well i wasnt sure either i searched alot of pics of 85 camaros and they all had those tail lights, i was just using the vendor ad to show those but it is hawks, they know what years had what its not like its a pep boys ad or something, and i thought about it and i know my 86 had those but ive never owned an 85 just an 82 wich had the ugly ones........

MillerTime21

Thats pretty sweet! I'd like to see it all cleaned up.

Guest

Lights look fine to me.

Not the first time I've seen a car that had not had the dealer prep done yet though.

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

I sent the guy a message through youtube, as I'd like to see the car in person if possible. Says he's in New Jersey, so we shall see....

1985WS6transam

iTrader: (4)

I was thinking the same thing, I was the one who asked him what state he is in with that thought in mind. Too bad I dont have the money to buy something like that.

FormulaL98

Wow I cant imagine the amount of cash that will trade hands for that car!! Crazy that no prep work was done, but thats how iI would want mine if I ordered one. Would have been really cool if it was a players challenge car

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

It is an LG4 (note the lack of dual snorkel and its equipment). The tail lights are correct. I have them on my 85 IROC.

JamesC

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

I'm just curious to see it in person, he'll probably be asking way more than what it's really valued for though. If he's local, I'll try to add some credibility to this thread after closely looking it over. If I even considered buying it, the wife would kill me, literally, so I tell her I'm just going to look because it sounds a little too good to be true lol, especially here in NJ....

iTrader: (12)

At 1:50....What's in front of it? Satellite?

1985WS6transam

iTrader: (4)

Roadrunner... if you listen closely they say it. I wonder if the same thing was done with that car!?!

igotta355z28

iTrader: (1)

if so then WOW. u could retire off of what that would bring at a barret jackson auction......

Aaron91RS

iTrader: (2)

Wonder how many other classics are in those trailers since we already know there is two.

My 90 did NOT have those taillights the 85 had , it had the older style. My 91 has that style.

Ward

iTrader: (1)

Those are the correct tails for an IROC, or 91-92 car.

gearhead0384

iTrader: (7)

You just don't know you thirdgens well enough.

Those ARE the CORRECT taillights for a 1985 IROC-Z. All IROC-Z's got grid styled taillights.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Yeah...I'm SUCH a newbie...Still learning....




Maybe I just don't care to learn every little nuance & memorize them.

gearhead0384

iTrader: (7)

I don't not have anymore information on this. It was SPECULATED by some to be the same guy in Wisconsin who bought 21 trailers of unknown contents from a dead mans kids.


Here is the link on that. It is amazing what they found.

This was also posted in Hot Rod Magazine too.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1985029/posts




***** This Speculation was incorrect, and this IROC in a Trailer is actually from New Jersey and has NOTHING to do with the Link above.*****

Ehh that was an easy one.

Yea i Saw one time about the guy who had 26 trailers in a magazine, except in that story some one had died and the family sold all the junk. All 26 trailers

I would rally love to see some updates on this

89ROC-Z

iTrader: (7)

Ya me too this post got my whole family excited!! I wonder what happened to it all. Just imagine opening trailer after trailer and seeing all this!!! I would have a heart attack! lol

LFN AT U

iTrader: (1)

I don't see any reason to believe that's not the real deal. It would be nearly impossible to bring a car back to pre-dealer prep condition like that. Not only that, it's tough to just fake the dust on it from sitting. When I bought my '83 Camaro it had been sitting since 1984 and it looked nearly identical to that. I've seen cars that sat in dusty places for a few years and they just have a little different look than a car that slowly picks up 20 years of dust.

Those tail lights were used on every IROC made so I have no idea why you wouldn't think they are right. I would have thought that was just common knowledge with most people on the board but I guess not.

Shadygrady

iTrader: (3)

Yeah those are the same taillights I have on my 87 Iroc.I understand stephen though.I have better things to do than remember EVERYTHING about 82-92 f bodys.I`m quite often wrong about stuff like that.

ghettocruiser

iTrader: (4)

Someone message the heck out of the youtube link and ask him to sign up on here and give more details!!!! PICS PICS PICS and more PICS. Ide like to see the cleaning up process.

If he happens to be the same guy that bought all those trailers...he's probably the luckiest guy I know. I envy the 26 trailer guy. Thats like every car guys dream.

Im gonna head to youtube and drop a line saying to get on here and be ready for the birage of questions and pic requests...

He has posted a few times that he will not be cleaning the car up, and that he will leave it to the next owner. It appears he is not going to keep the car:

Anyone know where in NJ this car is? That trailer really was a time capsule geez.

Ls2 GTO

Those taillights were used for the z28's and irocs starting in 85 . It's the same taillights that were on my 85 z28 when I bought it brand new in 84.

ghettocruiser

iTrader: (4)

Ah...I see I need to work on my reading/memory skills haha. Dummy me even read those comments.

On that note, I do hope whoever gets ahold of it will get on here and start a thread on the clean up process. Maybe the guy who has it now can stipulate that in his sale agreement. haha.

I have to say...the thought of finding a car like this, or any older car in this condition just sitting in a trailer is one heck of a fantasy. I would love to have that opportunity some day.

I think somewhere south of New York, North of Delaware, and East of Maryland

As I was watching that video I was waiting for the next scene where the water hits it and the paint comes alive. Then the new battery and gas can appears and they fire it up and you wonder how many cranks it will take before the engine roars to life. Man that would have made a great video. Or even the barging process where the one guy says how much and they bicker and the other old man (not knowing what it's worth) says like 8 grand and it's yours... I'll get the keys. Like that old man in Christen. lol

88_thirdgen

that alternator dosent look an original for 1985

88_thirdgen

it would be great if somebody could do a vehicle history report... you can see the vin# at 4:34 it is clearly visible

iTrader: (-1)

so how much was one worth in 1985 from the dealer?

Stippy17

iTrader: (6)

Your right, but if it really was parked after the owner took delivery of it would a Carfax show anything for the vin?
