89 5.0 tpi 5-speed iroc, thoughts?
Stumbled across this. Seems like a pretty clean car. Price isn't CRAZY high, which is refreshing. I think this is a good indicator of values going up.

Eventually, it'll sell for around $10K, which is still a tidy profit for them. Basically, they paid all the money for it at Mecum last October.

Agree completely!
30 years from now, when Wayne Carini's grandson finds it in a dusty garage, he'll identify it as the "chrome lighter car", with various threads posted about it on TGO!
