Nice looking car. Can't argue with the blue stripe.

I am the second owner on this car and the guy in the ad says the original owner repainted the car, when I am the one who repainted the car have the receipt. I also replaced the convertible top and frame.

Re: Not original paint or super low miles, but gorgeous '90 IROC-Z, 'vert.

I had the car painted it was around 6k for the paint job, when I had it was all original and the paint was completely shot. I left the stripes off because I thought it looked better that way. When I had it I had all the receipts since new and the build sheet. The third owner bought and complained all the bushings where bad. It definately drove tight like the bushings weren't bad but what do I know since this was my third 90 iroc convertible. I also had the original convertible top that I sold the third owner with the car it just had a small tear in it. It was definately worth saving although I bet that stuff is all gone. I put a lot of money into the car and was going to use this car to swap my lsx in it but decided to leave it stock. He has since put a new radio deck in it and alarm system. He also replaced the original cat, when prior to me I had the car smogged and passed in flying colors. I guess he started to have issues with the car after I sold it to him, but the car is at 50k so it's around that time you don't know what that can go wrong. That's all the information I really have on it.

It seems the seller is calling the 2nd owner (you) "just a flipper", but according to the history report, he's owned the car for only 2 months.

Thanks for the input.
