Its been a while since ive been on the boards, i dont even think i have posted pics of my 89 GTA. Well anyway i just picked up a 1986 IROC Yesterday. Got it for $500, i think i got a good deal. here are a few pics and my GTA is in one of them as well.

 

$500? You got a deal. Post more pics of the GTA.

 

Is that a typo did you mean 5000? I paid 5800 for my rs with 64000 miles on it and the exterior is in a little worse shape than yours!!!

 

You stole that car for $500. Even if it don't run thats an awesome deal.

 

Nice iroc you got a good deal.

I seen an iroc also for $600 like 3 of them but they are not tpi is yours one

 

I picked up a 89 rs with t-tops today for $150. May never see the title, but my other 89 rs will see some new parts . So might some of you guys. They said it did run, but they lost the keys, so I had to pop the ign. cylinder with my dent puller. As we all know, no key, no start. Any way to bypass that?

 

Yea no typo $500, and yes it is tpi. the only thing is it sat for a few years so not running just yet. worked on it for most of yesterday, Its almost ready for a try just need to get a new battery.

 

wtf? lol u paid near 6 grand for an RS...jeeze!

 

Wow you should have bought an iroc for 6 grand, possibly two of them!

500 bones is more like it! Looks like a solid car all the way around, keep us posted on when/how it runs. More pics of both cars would be cool! I like the ROH's on the GTA

 

Looks like you found a good deal. Not too many thirdgens selling for that much with a body in good condition as your iroc.

 

$500...WTF!!! You can't even find a Third Gen around here with a motor/tranny for that little, let alone one with a good body! How is it that NY and Pennsylvania seem to have all the cars? lol GREAT FIND MAN!

 

Nice looking car. Hell of a deal.

 

WOW are you still in pain?

85K miles 350 all original. If I just consider the car as any other third gen, I think I did OK. Adding the condition, the unmolested state of the car and the fact that it is the only one in the universe that we bought brand new June 2, 1989, the $5000 was a steal when I found the car in WV August 2, 2008!






TO THE OP> AWESOME FIND. I'd've bought that in a second.

 

looks like a great deal for 500. good job at keeping these cars alive.

 

Good find on that one

 

no actually I'm not in too much pain.. For some reason third gens are really hard to find in the eastern Iowa area(at least in the shape mine is in). so I actually got a decent deal I talked him down from 6800...around here a car like yours would cost me about 8000 if it had less than 70000(the magic number i wont go over for some strange reason)

 

WOW... glad i didnt find the car in Iowa. Enjoy your car and if you are happy with the car and what you paid, really thats all that matters!

 

Thanks!!I ust put up pics of mine check em out!!! lol oh yah iowa sucks for buying cars, the salt just kills them.

 

Got the car running yesterday, it had not ran in almost 5 years, thats the good news. There are only 2 problems that i am goin to have to deal with. There is a leak in one of the brake lines which is not a big problem but i did notice it was leaking quite a bit of oil, it had not leaked oil when it was running 5 years ago. From what i can tell it looks to be coming from the oil pan, might be a crack from rust, doesnt look like its from the gasket, ill have to inspect it closer to find out exactly. But other than that it started up and ran fine drove it around my driveway and the tranny seems to be good.

 

Wow that is an amazing deal that is you would pay for the wheels over here in Dubai. I paid way to much for my cars but that is the price you pay for living in a country where nice cars are rare.

 

Great deal - no... Great STEAL!!

Keep us posted on the progress...

 

Yeah i wont get into how much i paid for my 86 iroc-z. and im finding more and more problems, mine has a bad oil leak as of this morning, drove it about 20 miles and it dumped 2 and a half quarts of oil. VERY GREAT FIND btw

 

Nice steal, I bought my 88 for 1,200 with 85,000 miles on it. Body is perfect and the only downfall is that it's a v6.

 

whaat. 500 bucks?! thats what i paid for mine and it needed a lot of work to run and the body is in crappy shape

 

Nice find, I grabbed my 82 Z up for $2K with a rebuilt 350. I was just happy she wasnt a total hack job. Does for $500 Iroc run? TPI or TBI?

 

Nice looking car. Congrats!

 

i got my 86 iroc for $600 but the front fenders and nose were missing, and the hood was gone...although i have the exactly same wheels on mine though
