Looks like one of the 1st "new" cars I ever test drove, I like the 85-6ish IROC wheels better tho.

That is a very good looking car! Just needs a set of floor mats!

Re: Blue 89 5.7 t-top Iroc

What I love about AZ cars is there is never any rust, they are usually fantastic condition for the body. Unfortunately everything rubber & plastic is hard. The older cars especially, it will crumble in your hands at time. Fortunately you can get almost all new rubber for the 3rd gen, unlike my 67 Buick Riviera that had every rubber piece hard as a rock when I got it, and we could not find the correct door seals at the time.

Re: Blue 89 5.7 t-top Iroc

I have seen 20 year old AZ cars that still have zinc coating on the undercarriage bolts and nuts. I bet the undercarriage on this car is spotless. Your right about the rubber and plastics they usually need help. Just a tip on AZ cars you can restore most of the plastics and rubber using 100% scuba diving silicone. Literally brings them back to life with a couple of coats.
