Hi i saw a red convertible camaro for $800 and it has iroc emblems and i was wondering if its an iroc this is the Vin# 1G1FP31F4KL177431 could it be or how could i check if it is for i can sell my car and get something that will gain value over time.

 

 

The 8th digit of your VIN is an F, which would denote the engine as the 5.0 TPI LB9 V8. Since I don't think there was a Z28 in 1989, and I'm pretty sure you couldn't have gotten a TPI in a base model Camaro, I'd say this car probably really IS an IROC, just based on the VIN.

 

I agree. In many cases, the VIN will not confirm if a car's an IROCZ. This is not that case, and yes she's an IROCZ.

 

it has not been registered since 02 so do you guys think it would be alot of fees or no

 

I thought after 7 years it starts over? I could be wrong, anyway theres a calculator on the dmv website.

 

whoa...the state of CA has 7 year retroactive fees if a car is off the road?

LOLifornia is more like it

 

Have you asked if the car is registered under the California Nonoperative Vehicle code?

If it has, then there are no back fees and penalties.

 

no he said he never reported he wasn't gonna use it you think theirs alot of fees

 

Take the VIN to the DMV and check the fees......

 

I went to the dmv last time and i took 4 hrs to get picked so i rather not even go check when i think it will be a lot when i bought my 91 rs it hadn't been registered for 1 year and it was almost $300 so i think it would be alot more do you guys think i would make a profit if i sell it for parts.

 

I would love to have a red iroc vert for $800. I say fix it up!

 

Get all the information for the car and fill in the calculator.

CA DMV Calculator

 

wow thats insane!!! there are special fees for having a car off the road for a while? I'd be screwed, i've had my vette off the road for 8 or 9 years now!

 

In California there is a one time fee of $18.00 to file for a Planned Non-Operation (PNO). If you do not file for the PNO and do not pay your registration for a number of years, you are liable for the prior years of registration for nonpayment and late fees when you decide to finally register your vehicle.

From the CA DMV Website:

Planned Non-Operation (PNO)
What if I don't plan to drive my vehicle? Do I have to pay my renewal?

If you plan to store and not operate your vehicle during the next renewal year, you may apply for the Planned Non-Operation (PNO) option online. There is a filing fee for the PNO.

The PNO filing fee may be paid up to 60 days prior to the expiration date without late fees. If you file up to 90 days after the expiration date, you will be liable for late fees on the full registration amount.

If at any time the vehicle is operated or parked where it may be subject to citation, then full registration fees and penalties for that year become due.

The following is from:
CA Non Operation Information

BUYER BEWARE!

If you purchase a vehicle, you will be responsible for past due fees and penalties when you transfer the title into your name, unless:

* Registration is current.
* A planned non-operational status is on file with the DMV. Fees must be paid before operation to avoid penalties.

 

My uncle ended up buying it and hes going to fix it to sell it so i am just staying with my RS any way to close the thread

 

I would love to see PICs of an $800 IROC-Z convertible!

 

I will post them up later to day
