Been inquiring about this car for some time now. I took a look at the RPO codes and can’t figure out if it’s a true IROC. It’s got the Z28 Code but no B4Z. It’s an 87.

 

For 1987, it should have the B4Z code if it's an IROC on top of the Z28 code. This changed in 1988 where the B4Z code was no longer used and just Z28 was used.

So, no, based on the RPO sticker this car is not an IROC.

 

sorry forget that don't see 16" wheel size any place so no not an iroc-z

 

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. Happy I could catch it before I potentially look at it. Here’s the link to it. What do you think? https://www.kijijiautos.ca/cars/chev...p#vip=20193563

 

I think the seller is either ignorant or a crook. Either way, you'd do well to pass on this car; if something as basic as a major option package is being misrepresented, it puts all other facts about the car, as stated by the seller, in question.

 

As has been mentioned, NOT an IROC. Could be a cool car. At least it has a 3.23 gear. Just don't pay IROC money for it.

 

I was starting to lead to that. He also claims it has a 350. If that proves true (I’ve asked for casting numbers and suffix codes). And is actually rust free, it may be decent. If all goes well, it may be a very good way to knock the price down.

 

It could be great leverage to knock the price down. I’d have to prove some other claims, (Rust free, 350 Small block). I appreciate the opinion.

 

Just remember this; If the seller starts throwing that nasty "C" word around (You know, "Corvette" ) , run for the hills !!!

If even half of the Camaros & Firebirds that sellers lie and say have a "Corvette Engine" in them actually had a real engine from a Corvette, there wouldn't be ANY running Corvettes left in the world

 

Funny you said that. Because that’s what he said, “The engine from cross referencing parts is from a 70s vette”. This looks like a father son project that was going on for a few years, but the kid is somewhat clueless. Had no clue what RPO codes was. I don’t know what to believe anymore lol.

 

If the engine's origin is questionable, in that case just consider it to be a run-of-the-mill small block, adding no real additional value to the car.

What is most important is the condition of the body and undercarriage; get it up on a lift and inspect everything underneath. Even if the car is relatively rust-free, it's still going to need some body work and a complete repaint, not an inexpensive undertaking. That in itself will keep most buyers away.




Believe your own eyes. Discount anything said by the seller that can't be substantiated.


Whatever you decide, GL.

 

If it's not rusty and runs good that is probably a fair price. I didnt see anywhere in the ad claiming to be IROC. I would just ignore any claims and go look at it to decide if it is worth that price to you. Big issue is always hidden rust.

 

Again, I really appreciate the help and opinions. My main goal is finding a car without rust. I had to get rid of my Berlinetta because I thought I could cheaply win against it, I was way wrong. A 350 would be a great bonus, especially for this price point.

 

True on the rust, that’s what forced me to get rid of my Berlinetta. I learned the bad spots on these cars after playing around with that other car. Thankfully this one is a car from a province that’s less known for brutal salt roads. The ad originally said IROC. I kindly told him it was not based of the missing RPO code, he took it almost too nice and just changed the ad. The car has small IROC decals on the bottom of the doors. It doesn’t sound like he knows too much. Thanks for your input.

 

Someone got hella sweaty in those back seats.

 

He claims weathering. But I have never seen anything like that before.

 

Indeed. And gross to boot.
