Re: Please ID this interior

With the Yellow dash emblem, wouldn't that make it a 92, for the 25th anniversary? Or did 91 and 92 have that color?

Re: Please ID this interior

Thanks guys there is a guy here saying it is a 1989. If it is a 1990 or newer then it cannot be registered over here unless it is converted to Right hand drive so there are some people that try & pass them off as a year older than they are.
According to the VIN number it is a 1990.
Thanks for all your help.

Re: Please ID this interior

Its clearly a 1990 IROC-Z. You can see the airbag steering wheel, reshaped dash, and new gauges (all of which changed in 1990). You can also see the Z28 dash emblem with "IROC-Z" underneath it.

1990 IROC-Z

Re: Please ID this interior

If everything is factory it is DEFINITELY a 1990. The dash emblem is the giveaway. It's a yellow Z28 and says IROC-Z underneath. 1990 was the only year that emblem was used.

Re: Please ID this interior

Thanks - not quite police work but I will inform the car salesman he has a lemon as he won't be able to sell it unless he converts it to right hand drive which cost $18000 NZ. He is asking $25000 for it which is about right.

I have a 89 vert (Very Rare over here - only 2 that I know of in the country) I imported it myself, as it is over 20yrs I keep it Left hand drive. Owes me $20,000 valued at $30,000.

Re: Please ID this interior

Is the conversion requirement based on model year or manufacture date? The car is a 1990 model year, but all of the 1990s were built before the end of December 1989.

Re: Please ID this interior

Good point it is based on month of manufacture. The car has to be over 20yrs old to the month before it leaves country of departure.

It is normally the other way I have a nightmare trying to get any parts for my car as everything I want or need I have to get imported & the businesses over in the USofA charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

Always on the look out for parts of any sort but at the mo I desperatly need weatherstripping kit for an 89 vert & other bits.

Luckily most of the parts can be reused after the conversion because alot of american cars are modular so can be swapped around.

By the way I get asked alot and the answer is yes the pedals are still in the same position of a right hand drive car
