2 LOW MILE HIGH DOLLAR IROCS IF ANYBODY IS LOOKING...

Pittsburgh Craigslist, put IROC in cars for sale...9000 mile 90 for around 23k. 6000 mile 89 for 22k. Both nice looking cars. I'd go after either one if I didn't already have 2 in the garage...

For some reason there seems to be a lot of nice low mile cars around this year. Nice to know there's a lot of clean original cars left.

"The vehicle was purchase on 5/25/90."
I didn't know 91s were available that early but the door decal w/March build date sure supports it. Interesting.

He tried selling that on eBay for a while for a similar price...it's not even a TPI car I can't imagine it selling for more than $10-$12k but who knows.

That looks like a nice car. Don't love red interiors generally speaking, but that particular car looks really sweet...at least in the pictures.

I think Red is one of those colors that does not age well. All color interiors tend to fade over time & the red ones sometimes just don't look all that great as this happens. But, when you see a pristine, non faded red interior I think its spectacular looking

Stunning when new, too bad the fabric is not UV safe.

Kinda ironic isn't?

living in the north/ midwest, winters & salt are hard on concrete. Had a driveway fail miserably about 10 years ago. Ultimately after all the finger pointing was over it was determined to be the weather at the time is was poured, the mix & the lack of finish work. The concrete guy initially said "thats what happens when concrete is outdoors". Thought the was the dumbest thing I had heard at the time..

Lot's of red to pink interiors. However, I think the right one is a '90 -'92 and the left one is an '88-'89. The fabric had a different look on the two, even when new.

The later ones, '90-'92, came with a "redder" interior.

That one has the more red interior, it's a '90. I think it's still for sale. Really nice car.
