I have been looking for a camaro for the CMC race series and came across and purchased a MINT condition 1988 Iroc 305 TPI 5-speed and with all options, G92 option, etc..

Has 72,700 miles. exterior is about 97% perfect - few typical dings in front from rocks. Interior is 100% and engine bay looks like it never saw any dirt or dust.

I see thirdgens on ebay wil extremely low mileage going for in the 20,000's. I wonder if this car will ever be like that one day. say 20 yrs from now if the car has about 100k on it i think the mileage will consider it to be a high mileage car and might not be worth as much later. Or maybe im completely wrong and this car could be worth a ton down the road.

I dont think I can afford another thirdgen to turn into a CMC car so im trying to get some opinions here... leave the car as is or go ahead and turn in CMC and not regret it later

I love driving this car as is though.

 

Do NOT, I repeat NOT molest a low mile 5 speed IROC for this purpose. There are PLENTY of other cars that can be turned into a race car.

DONT DO IT

 

72k miles is relatively low mileage for a car like that. Most have over 150k rounds.

Find a $200 beater with no title if you're building a race car. They're coming out of the woodwork because most people don't want a car with no title.

 

Haha.. thats what i figured. just getting everyones opinions. Its so hard to not drive this car so much cause its so much fun!

Soon the 92 will be done and i can drive that more often and leave this one hanging out in the garage.

 

Drive the car all you want, but don't destroy it by turning it into a race car. Mileage won't affect the value near as much as condition.

 

No no no no no . Please no . PRETTY PLEASE NO ! Trade it to someone for racecar if anything .

 

Sell it to me. I'll take care of it for you.

 

With all the above, don't do it!!!!

 

Haha.. i am not going to mess with it. Dont worry everyone.
