Re: 89 iroc
Post some pics. The RPO sticker inside the console door will have a paint code.
If it's silver, it's either not a 1989 IROC or it has been painted.

Re: 89 iroc
By GM, 0. By backyard rebuilders, probably quite a few. Unless they did a super job, it should be easy to tell what the original color was. Look inside the door jambs and under the hood. I'll bet you'll see it once you start looking.

Re: 89 iroc
Then the car's an 85, not an 89.
Where's the IROC-Z logo on the door, front or rear?
Do the rims have an indented line in each spoke or multiple?
Is there a 3rd brake light? where?
Door moldings? squared off and narrow or wide and rounded with bullet shaped ends?

Re: 89 iroc
Its been repainted or someone is trying to make it LOOK like an IROC. Your IROC logo is too low on the door and where are the stripes that normally go just above the ground effects?
Re: 89 iroc
The car has been repainted. That color was not available in 89. The rims are correct for an 89 and the VIN K also proves that. The fact the decals are too low and are black without stripes tell me that the car was probably painted. There was an option for stripe delete in 89, however, I doubt your car has that option. If you can't find any other color on the car, then the body shop did a complete repaint and hopefully did a good job. You can open the right side rear panel and see if there is any color in there with the spare tire. I think there is factory color in there.

Re: 89 iroc
you cant order something thats not on the option sheet.
Re: 89 iroc
And no you couldn't order a car however you wanted. Go try to order a 2012 Camaro in hot pink with purple polka dots and let us know how that works out for you.

You asked a question, and you got answers. It's too bad you don't like the replies you've gotten, but it's starting to get more then a little silly that you're unwilling to accept what you're being told.

Re: 89 iroc

Re: 89 iroc
You're claiming you have something that all the printed materials say doesn't exist. You've received expert opinions that it doesn't exist. You've posted pictures which we've explained show that the car has been repainted. 
You stated that you "coulda ordered the car however u wanted" when clearly that wasn't the case then, and isn't the case now. You are the only one who's convinced the car was originally silver.

Re: 89 iroc
How bout we just let the guy believe that someone accidentally put the wrong paint in the sprayer at the factory and then put all the stickers on wrong and just said... "Screw it, Send it out!".
Re: 89 iroc
I don't like public reprimands, but I will make it here. DO NOT BYPASS THE LANGUAGE FILTER! It's in the board policy that you accepted when joining TGO. Using special characters to represent letters is blatant bypassing and will not be tolerated.
Camaroboy, you asked for help regarding how many silver 89 IROC-Zs were built and the question was answered. There were none. Your car is a repaint. Accept it.
