Re: 1 OWNER 1987 IROC-Z

I didn’t see the mileage listed and no photo showing the odometer. Did I miss it?

I think that’s a fairly important item to not include!

Re: 1 OWNER 1987 IROC-Z

I downloaded the one pic and ZOOMED in on the odometer. Can't see it.

What's up with the interior? Seat side panels, armrests and seat piping don't match anything and don't go with anything either. It doesn't compliment anything either. If that was factory, it would be the first thing I'd change.lol Hideous.

Re: 1 OWNER 1987 IROC-Z

Looks pretty much original to me & guessing the miles must be fairly low? Can still see the pleating in the door panels yet, nice steering wheel, switches...... (dirty), But GM mats, Exhaust, VR tires,
Only sad thing is it got the "rusty jones" treatment underneath & the body plugs. Huge downside to a car that clean IMO

I wonder if that could be the lighting & the camera making it look a little brighter than it is?

Nice clean original stock '87 350 IROC. Interior is clean. That particular gray interior tends to photograph yellowish in places. Something about that color. In person everything will appear as the same gray.

Re: 1 OWNER 1987 IROC-Z

"All original" but it's got Decarbon GM shocks instead of the Delco Bilsteins it came with. Also looks like Dexcool in the overflow tank. Wrench wisdom says if it was an ethylene glycol system (Green) and someone tried to switch or topped off with Dexcool (Orange) without completely flushing the system, it's a recipe to kill every hose in the car. All the holes drilled for the redundant rust proofing doesn't help either. Looks nice overall, but I wouldn't count on the mileage being all that low considering the obvious wear and soil on the floor mats. Choosy collectors would turn their nose up at such things.
