Check out this ebay 87 IROC convertible black with red leather int. G92 5 speed 13,900 miles. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-...item3f224c1757

 

Thats some nice eye candy there.

In case the add goes away, here is a perminant shot.

Too wierd, you were thinking same as me ... pics werent there a minute ago !

 

Wow, that's nice.

 

Nice nice like the color combo

 

This one should sell for a decent buck. Sellers always make silly claims, but he's right on with this one, it is the crown jewel of all IROCs. The condition appears flawless even though the pics area bit grainy.

If I was in the market to buy, I would overpay to get this one. Coming from the world's biggest tightwad, that's quite a compliment.

 

The original owner knew what he was ordering when he ordered this car!! Thats one convertible I would buy.

 

Very nice car!

 

WOW, that is the IROC to have IMO, would love to have that one.

 

Yeah, I saw it when it was listed, quite beautiful, a real head turner..

 

That car is mocking me considering it's a hour from my house. If I had anywhere to put it, I'd go get it.

 

It's mocking me too. It's probably only 20 minutes from my house. The only thing I don't like is the lack of factory exhaust.

 

Thats what I was thinking. It's funny you put the same pictures up.

 

Apparently, it didn't meet reserve. Relisted for $29,999.

 

That's about what it cost new.

 

That probably was the reserve. I'll be interested to see if he gets it.

 

The red leather interior with black exterior is truly stunning. Arguably one of the best color combos offered on a thirdgen. It is a dream car for many of us, but $30K?! I could see it bringing high teens low 20s but c'mon. $30k? Seems a bit unreasonable to me. The owner is dilusional or he doesn't really need to sell it.

 

Yeah, it would be interesting to see what it might actually go for. This car is stunning. But it's not perfect. Note the Flowmaster exhaust.

 

Just can't get over a red interior...otherwise? Beautiful car...

 

Some things that stuck me.
1) The rear axle has been painted, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought only the 9 Bolt axles got the paint because they were coming from Australia. And the Camaro did not get the 9 Bolt until 1988 (not trying to start a fight, I just thought that was the case)

2) The bottom of the car is White, or gray... technically that is correct, but being a Norwood car I would have suspected some black over spray on the bottom of the car. My Yellow car had hints of Yellow over the gray primer... Just sayin' The cars were painted in a "Turbo Bell" and it got into the cracks and crevices more-so than traditional painting...

It makes the 88 IROC vert with no leather, 38k and an automatic for $10k near me seem like an all-out steall...

 

I've seen '87 IROCs with BW 9 bolts. BTW, that hood insulation looks like a nice repro. Wonder where it's from?

 

I read somewhere that in '87 you could get the BW 9 bolt rear in a convertible if you ordered the J65 4way disks and the 5 speed manual tranny. I know that in '88 if you ordered a convertible with an automatic you couldn't order the J65 and didn't get the BW 9 bolt rear. But, if you ordered the G92 and J65 4 way disks along with the 5 speed manual tranny you got the BW 9 bolt in a convertible.

 

I don't know if John was mentioning the BW rear availabilty for '87 with convertibles or all cars. It was available on the coupe as I have a BW 9 bolt. According to my documentation, the BW was available on the vert with manually tranny and 3.45 gears and 4 wheel disc option only. (G92)

The hood insulation shown is an actual original insulator. I wish I had one of those!!

 

Also wish I had that insulator, ha ha.

I've never cared for the red interior and I'm not a big convertible person either, but that is absolutely gorgeous. If ever there was a time I wanted one, it's now.

 

Maybe I'm just rusty but what's with the third brake light, and what's that hole behind the convertible boot?

 

The 1987 3rd brake light is actually a Ford pickup truck lens. 1987 was the only year convertible that had this lens. The hole behind the boot is an alignment hole for the top.

 

Ok, I just wanted to make sure... I know that the Firebirds had the B&W earlier than the Camaro, For some reason I was thinking wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Def a 9 bolt axle in that pic

What an awesome car, little high on the price...but man what a car to have!

 

I personally would not trade even up with my convertible, even if that car is in better condition than mine.
