i purchased this car and thought someone put the engine in cause it was carb. but its original and its a 5sp.4whl, disc breaks ect. how do i find out more i ran the vin and didnt tell me much the options are removed from the console so i dont no much about it so any info would be great thankyou, bones

 

If it is a silver 85, and it has the 305 HO, and four wheel discs, and five speed. It's a nice car in my opinion. however missing the RPO tag from the console would make me a bit leary.

Is silver the original color for your car? If so it was the only year it was offered.

Also does it have the 305 HO?

 

on the bottom of the lowering skirts it says 5.0 ho ive had irocs so everything but the carburater throws me off it has the id tag on the door and says it was 1-85 and the 245 50 16 so iam assuming that its and early iroc ,it has the three inch exhaust and the 4 wheel disc brakes and the badgeing but not sure alot about it the color looks all origanal other than black rally stripes and the cowl hood and the wing but dont know if its a speacil one with that stuff or someone put it on thanks for the info in advance

 

All manual tranny IROCs in '85 and '86 were carbed. Silver was only available on the IROC in '85. January 1985 would have been in the middle of the production year, if that is when yours was built. All IROCs from '85-'87 got 16" wheels. 4 wheel disc brakes was an option. 3" exhaust, cowl hood, rally stripes, and the wing (if it isn't a three piece spoiler) were all owner added.

 

Counting your car, I now know of 4 silver 85 IROCs. Welcome to the club. Mine is a carbed LG4 with 5-speed and discs all around.

 

that is really SHARP!!!


I like it, I might even buy one if i ever seen one fer sale...

According the the Camaro White Book, "the RPO L69 (305HO, carbed), rated at 190hp, could only be ordered with the IROC package and only with a manual transmission. It was discontinued during the model year." The L69, I believe, came with 3.73s. Run a search on this site and you'll find a good deal of info--check out a fellow thirdgenner named RBL69 (I believe that's correct). The L69 came stock with a dual snorkel as shown below.

 

thanks for the info james nice car looks just like mine what or wheres the white book? and how many where produced like ares ect. they seem quit rare to me but hell who knows, and my tag in console box is gone with the options. is there another hidden in the car r can i get one with the vin or what? thanks for the info.

 

The Camaro White Book: 1967-1997 is by Mike Antonick. I purchased mine at Borders for $12.95. There were approximately 21,000 IROCs in 1985 and 2,497 of them were L69s. There were 11,684 silver cars, but there is no break down about what cars received that color. Though there were 11,684 silver cars, I've never seen another one except in a photo. You might try looking in the rear quarter where the spare is for the RPO sheet.

I neglected to mention that the White Book lists factory options for Camaros, 1967 to 1997, so you might compare the list with your 85 if nothing else.

hehehehaha






:rockon: thats right

 

nice car whats youre 1/4 mile times? iam thinking about a406 myself nice bones

 

Mine was originally Silver but was repainted black. Its an LB9 with 4 speed Automatic

 

way back when i was running a 150 nitrous kit at lacr i think i got into the uncorrected 13's. that was on gatorbacks. what was encouraging was traps at 106-108 mph, that got the regulars scratchin their heads and saying stuff like "that dont sound stock" or "is that a 305?" shake head and smile. i forget the correction for lacr i think it was .5 or .7 for the et's in that range. never wanted to set the car up for straight line- i like zinging corners. off the line its all smoke but on the fwy-seeya-i have been a real suprise to many a porsche ferrari(328) vette 87gn-the best is the yup n sunglass posers. usually their bit-h sitting in the pass.seat will give the upwardly mobile cat a good reminder of just who is in possession of the nads in their car-and it aint the dude-know what i mean

 

My Dad's 85... Silver, RIGHT ON!!

 

I saw a silver 85 iroc 305 auto for sale down the road from my inlaws house last year. It had some rust and they wanted 3500 for it.

 

If we are posting pictures of our silver '85 IROC's ... Here's mine >>

LG4 with Auto (slowest they've made, but at only 3,780 miles it's a keeper)


Mike M - Hmmmmm ... I need to figure out this thumbnail thing. Here's the link with the original pics >>
