That doesn't look too serious at all... wonder why he's parting it out.

Re: poor IROC!

Looks like the car could be repaired in a weekend. He just had the motor redone, so why not fix the damage?

Re: poor IROC!

He's a dreamer,,, $150 for a Hatch, $500 for the rear?

He is gonna sell some small things like the tail lights for example and be left with a beat up incomplete unsellable car.

Unless he finds a real sucker

Re: poor IROC!

"350 TPI engine ( a factory rebuilt with only 20,000 miles )"

It's funny how people always make mistakes in their own favor, but never against their own favor. Clearly the factory engine was a 305, as shown in the VIN. 350 wasn't even available in 1986, period.

Yeah I know but he's making it an option only.... it sucks seeing that thing getting parted out since I'm sure that's gonna happen.

That's what I thought! And apparently the car is still drivable in the shape it's in!

Re: poor IROC!

Arizona IROC called it spot on. Once the first few easy parts are sold off that car, its life is over. For now, there is still hope.

Anyway, he listed the whole car and took pics of the whole car and the price is $1200 no reserve, so that whole thing about $2200 is baloney, and a random number he picked out of thin air. eBay would not side with him in a dispute over that. If you bid $1200 and he doesn't hand over the whole car, you'd have good reason to leave negative feedback.
