I love the detailed photos, it takes a lot of time and effort to do a shoot like that.

Did all the 88-90 IROC-Z cars have the Tuned Port Injection script below the IROC-Z badge on the rocker panel? Mine are both missing I think.

Yep. All TPI cars had the rocker callouts. Even DX3 cars

Thanks for the comments, its my 1988 IROC on Bring a Trailer.
A/C would only be needed a handful of times in the summer out in New Brunswick where the car was sold new.

Re: Another low mile beauty - love it

That's beautiful. I like them all, but I'm definitely on the Firebird side of the 3rd gen obsession. But I have a true weak spot for white Camaros.

I have a/c in my GTA, all original and it works. Great for the South Carolina heat. But in terms of maintenance, probably better off without it in such an old car. I'm surprised that mine works so well after 33 years with, as far as I know, no repairs or modifications.
