Re: Two Tone Irocs?

Steering wheel looks like it's from a Cavalier. I've also never heard of a "Corvette" handling package either. Corvettes had an IRS setup in the rear I believe, so the rear sway bar is totally different.

Re: Two Tone Irocs?

If we want to be really picky, I think the only true, two tone, factory paint schemes on third gens were the 82 Camaro Indy pace car and the 83 Tans Am Daytona pace car. Yeah, yeah ... the rocker panels are a different color from the body on the Z28s and TAs, but 'two tone' to me means the body panels have different color paint. Someone feel free to correct me on this, but I don't think GM offered true, two tone body colors on any other third gens.

Re: Two Tone Irocs?

In 1984 and 1985 the true "Two Tone" was available on the Firebird.

See the post by "brother al" here on the early third gen board.

I doubt it - ground effects painted with a contrasting color was standard on the Z28. IROCs were monochrome (ground effects were the same as the body color). My comment about a true two tone paint scheme was referring to the body panels having two different colors. I don't necessarily consider the bolted on ground effects part of the body. Again, I'm just splitting hairs with this.
