Damn...hope no one was in it when that happened.

 

 

That car has been for sale for a couple of years. When you think about it, $4K isn't a bad price. Think about the veritable cornucopia of nearly new parts on that thing.

 

Price keeps coming down. It's too bad no one really does 100% factory restorations to these cars, this would be a goldmine. Hell, even taking a 1k roller and this car to build a car would be a fun project.

 

Yikes!

 

With the work and money you would have to put into that car to get it safe and running, I doubt you would ever get that back. I would love to have the engine though

 

Wrecked in 92 & stored all this time ? Call me skeptical

 

It runs. What the hell, buy it and use it as a windowless roadster.....

 

Boy, almost looks like somebody was cut out of the car after a hard flip on its right side lid?
Badly crushed a-pillar & sail panel.

There must be a story with it & I'm thinking it might not be a real good one

 

Yeah. That car has been for sale YEARS!.


I'd still like to have it!

 

I think a tree fell on it.

 

Agreed

 

I'd make a truck out of it.

 

If it was a 89 i'd grab it

 

El Camino.............

 

No, El Camaro.

 

lol I liked the "runs great" line at the end. at least he looked after the motor for all these years

 

If it had the gray custom cloth interior I'd buy it!

 

Maybe someone thought the car would fit under a tractor trailer

 

I was intrigued by the title, then I saw the picture

 

Really thought an 11k mile L98 iroc for sale at $4000 ?

 

And if you were a badass, you'd drive it home.

 

if it still has a clean title that's a great car to buy rolling shells are only a few hundred bucks

 

I've driven worse! Seriously!!!

 

I am doing a 100% NOS original factory restoration to my 92 T/A convert...The older and scarcer our cars become, I think you'll see more people restore them back to OEM Specs...just my thoughts.

 

I have too.

Using folding lawn chairs as seats on a '68 Camaro with no glass makes for an exciting ride.

 

Oh boy! I'd love to tear that thing up and part it out!

 

You boys are crackin me up. And Im the one probably about to get a bad rap for installing these damn seats with flames on em......and there yall are riding around on a BUCKET!..LOL

 

Milk crate for a seat is common when prepping a car for a full re-paint.

I had a 69 LeMans hardtop I used as a parts car to restore a GTO & drove it home with no fenders, doors or deck lid - 5 miles from the body shop....it did have a seat & a lap belt. I should also mention it was missing portions of the passenger & trunk floor and the wheel lips on the rear quarters.

 

Anything for a GTO! I woulda loaded it up on skateboards if I had to..lol

 

The owner of the Iroc just emailed me and said the semi trailer went over the top of it in 1992. Thats all he said. Im sure someone cut the roof off of it to make it easier to get in and out to move it around.

A lawn chair Very resourcesful Chazman!

 

Bet that was a long five miles. "Liscense and registration please. Do you know why I pulled you over sir?"

 

I'd fix it and run it. however I already own an all original and mint 5.7 IROC with 23,000 original miles, however mine has never been in an accident.

 

More likely the driver put it under the trailer. That makes sense now. I couldn't understand what else could crush that right a-pillar down like that. Given both sides are pinned down & it looks like the front of the car is slightly bent upwards, Id say that car hit the trailer pretty hard & looking at the rest of the car, I'm thinking the driver at the very least was critically injured. That would be a horrible way to impact something.

If the driver didn't duck, his head would be higher than the top of the windshield location. Not good......

 

He should have sold the wheels and the motor back in 92! they were worth more back then than they are now. I remember seeing just a TPI intake back in the day sell for $700. They are door stops now. And I remember buying a mint set of the later 3 line IROC wheels with gatorbacks on them that were brand new take offs for $700. To be honest I don't see a whole lot of high dollar parts still on this car. The steering wheel, dash pad, and seats are damaged (dash pad is missing) and most of the body panels are either missing or damaged. Im sure there are some decent plastic panels still but other than the fog lights and maybe some switches, I don't see $4000 worth of parts there anymore. I could be wrong but it looks like most of it is damaged.

 

I see rat-rod sleeper potential if the thing tracked straight.


Probably best for a parts car though, like has been mentioned.

 

that body is skewed all over, nothing straight there

 

Requires a Helmet or Goggles to drive.

 

And I thought I was bad in the dead of winter on a 7 degree night driving my 91 RS with just a drivers seat and no T-tops (gaskets were being installed by my old body shop the next day) 35 miles on the highway. At least I had a windshield, and probably a seat belt

 

It gets better......


The '68 Camaro had a tunnel ram and dual quads. It was a fresh motor and the carbs weren't adjusted right and sometimes caught fire. Sitting on the passenger side lawn chair, my job was to reach over the firewall, while the car was driving, and put out the carbs with a shop rag, in case they caught fire.

Oh man. To be 17 and stupid again!

 

So are these the low mile cars that aren't worth much that I keep hearing about?

 

Did that on a friends 70 440 cuda ! No seats, no windshield carb adjustment while driving down the road.

 

With some sellers, I am surprised the car is not advertised as having a "Special Aerodynamic Package"

 

I believe Callaway calls them speedsters
