They just keep showing up! Nice car!

Not a stripe delete car however and no explanation for the missing decals.

That's local to me, I may have to check it out.

Look closely, the emblem is in the correct spot on the rear of the door. I had a friend in high school with a hardtop, same color combination. Love it.

DAMN that is hard to see!

I sent him a message, haven't heard anything back yet.

If he steps back into this world, I wouldn't mind owning it.

Lol a friend of mine and I were just talking about this! Glad i'm not the only one looking haha...

Probably my biggest pet peeve about many thirdgen Camaros is the gap being off on so many... I can't believe how many of them you could drive a truck through and it bugs me lol... you are right, for some reason its a bit too big on this car. Should look like this:

How's it done? Mine seems to do it a little bit; I've noticed some factory low mile survivors with and without the gap.

Also note the steering wheel cover is peeling up on the top sides...

Make sure the rubber bumpers at the corners are adjusted correctly by twisting them to raise or lower. If worse comes to worse, adjust the bolts on the latch.

Re: Another One. 161 miles '90 IROC-Z 'vert.

I guess I didn't make the cut...

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately the answer is no. This is because the car is kept in a highly secure, climate controlled facility with the rest of my collection and I do not allow others into the facility. Until I know that a potential buyer is serious I can't get involved with showings. There is tremendous interest in this car but unfortunately a lot of dreamers wasting my time. Regards, Joe.

The hood gap on this car is a little large for a low mile car, but adjusting the bump stops won't fix the issue here. The hood appears to sit correctly in relation to the fenders. There are other adjustments needed to get this one tighter.

It almost looks like it needs the frame holding up the nose piece adjusted... The plastic bits on the exterior do seem to warp over time.
