Looks like the 1985 blue. I've seen bodyshops mix the color up before.

IDK, my 87 has been in the garage, under a cover for 20 years and the paint on the rear bumper is delaminating. For that matter it could just be lighting.

Can't help but think if he wants that money for that car, he's going to have to put it in front of collectors, like Ebay or one of the collector auctions.

Yup. A little lighter than the '86-'90.

Here is an 85 Iroc blue with 19k on in and in the photos it looks like the bumper cover is a slightly different shade. I think it is a lighting thing. Photos 8 and 9

Re: nice blue 87 5.7 iroc with 26k on craigslist

Nice Camaro & right across the pond from me. Not too exciting to see the undercoating & application plugs in the jambs though. I really hate that stuff.....
Do the jambs look a little rough, or just the lighting? surface near the plastic looks dimpled & there is a line parallel with the rocker plastic just inside the jamb. Other than that the car looks great!

You better watch it. Someone might slap you around like a red headed rocker step-child for making a mistake like this.

Re: nice blue 87 5.7 iroc with 26k on craigslist

Those tail lights looked too old and abused for the mileage claim. I also agree that the door jambs look questionable. The gas door also appears to be off, being darker than the rest of the car. The steering wheel looks worn and window switches have the letters worn off. The wiring under the hood doesn't look right either. I question the status of this car!

It has a few flaws but it's still a sharp car. But I might be biased.

That would only happen if you were in the most southern point of the Baja CA peninsula.

Re: nice blue 87 5.7 iroc with 26k on craigslist

Is it bad that all bright blue thirdgens look the same to me? I know the color codes are different. I'm sure that if you parked them all in a row, or took a part off one and bolted it on another it'd be obvious, but in passing... I'm not sure why I can't differentiate between the different blues.
