85 IROC and GTA @ car show

I was at my local Cars and Coffee today and there were 5 3rd gens there including me. There was this all original 1985 IROC. I did not get any other shots but it had those Ricaro? seats. The ones that have the word Camaro repetitive on them. This was in really nice shape but has been driven.



The other was this all original GTA. It still had that pouch on the dash. It also has that coupe conversion on it. Original everything except tires. the car has 90K on it and you can tell it was driven but it looked all there. One of the cool things with this car was the owner. That's him in the upper right of the1st pic with the camera around his neck.

Love that colour on the GTA, gunmetal. Very nice, and rare notchback. Owner doesn't look too old, which is cool, hold up that 3rd gen torch!

I can't swap my GTA gold lace front to rear, it would look better but the rears rub when on the front.

I thought the oddity was the deeper dish belongs in the front, making the ones in the picture correct. No?

Exactly correct, I checked mine on my 87 GTA again today and the deeper (front) are stamped front and the shallow ( rear) are stamped rear. I'm a step ahead though, I got another complete set so I can run 4 front (deep) on all 4 coroner's.
