Craigslist ad 1985 IROC-Z L69 5 speed

Silver IROC for sale. Car is rough and needs work, if I wasn't covered with some much financially right now I'd jump on this to restore as long as the underside of the car was fine. Posting this for 3rd gen enthusiasts to save this car. Car has no power locks or windows as well. Interior is pretty basic looking.

Neat car, I hope it goes to a good home. I also wish my silver car was that good of a starting point, lol.

The seller has posted more pictures, it's remarkable how well the condition of the seats are considering the condition of the car.




ictures, it's remarkable how well the condition the seats are in.

I'd clean it up and drive it just like that. If it were local, I'd buy just on general principle.

Re: Craigslist ad 1985 IROC-Z L69 5 speed

Having owned a silver one for 17 years (was my first car), i'd buy this in a heartbeat if I didn't have to ship it up to New England... I'd clean it up enough to use it a bit, then tuck it away until I had the time to commit to a nut and bolt resto on it. I do miss my old car a bit...

Huge fan of the silver and HO and 5 speed and one owner. What is not to like? Especially being from LA (lower Alabama) no rust.

I'd do the same. It's called "Patina" Just clearcoat the rust and drive it.
I'm goin to Mobile.

No, but I think it would be a great deal! I was looking through some pics and ran across "OfficersMatch" 1985. If someone fixed it up, it could look like this:
