Yes thats true. All of the 1987 IROC's with the L98 came with 3.27 gears. For 1988-1989 the G92 performance gear became 3.27 and the non-G92 gear became 2.77.

There's a guy with an '87 Formula 350 in my neighborhood that appears to be completely stock. When he drives by I can't even hear him.

Re: All original 87 IROC-Z 5.7 hardtop

WOW!! I want that Car! My Aunt had one just like that except it was an '86 Only difference was it was the 5.0 TPI and still had the round shiftter and round ****.

I noticed though that yours doesn't have the electric rear window defroster switch, the box on the right side of the cluster is just blank.

Re: All original 87 IROC-Z 5.7 hardtop

How in the world did you get an all original first year L98 car with 61,000 miles for $5,800?! Never repainted? Documented for mileage?

all original down to the factory exhaust .. battery and tires are not original and thats it .. no paint work anywhere .. this is my ninth iroc ive owned and cant believe how clean it is ..

now how did i get it : i was searching craigslist and found it in iowa .. a small classic car dealership took it in on trade on a 69 camaro .. the owner of the dealer said he wanted nothing to do with it cause it was a late model car .. the guy wanted 6500.00 for it and i got it for 5800.00 ..

Ah, makes more sense now. What an epic score. That's the condition mine was when I got it. Still pretty much the same, but I had to do the exhaust at least and a few other little things.
