This is my 1986 IROC-Z 53K Original Miles
Here is a video that I took of my 1986 IROC-Z yesterday since it was so nice out. Features some of the changes that I have made over the winter. Enjoy!

Thank you! She's my pride and joy! I had the pleasure of buying this one about 75% restored, and just finished her this winter. Probably the nicest IROC I've ever owned. I'm very proud of her!

Yep, this will be my third kid. Have a 7 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. My boy loves the car and really enjoys going to car shows. Pretty sure his first car will be a Camaro. That's all he talks about! Gotta start em young!

That sound is the driver side door handle. The metal brace that is under the handle broke off, so the handle is a little flimsy and rattles. Still works so I see no need to replace it yet.

Yep, no problem. Every IROC that I have ever owned had that happen to the driver side door handle. Its an annoying sound and will be replaced at some point. For anyone that is wondering, the color is called Cobalt Blue Metallic. There is tons of metal flake in the paint, and really shines in the sun.

Nice car, would have been just perfect if it has the better rear end in it. I saw at the end of the video it has drum, i have a rear disc rear end out of a 92 t/a that im putting in my 91 t/a soon. But to each his own, its still a beautiful car

Yeah the drum rear was the only thing I didn't like about the car, but eventually it will be replaced with a disc rear. I searched for a year to find a car relatively local to me so I figured since the only thing I didn't like was the drum rear, I'd take it. Plus I got the car for a steal!

Finally got a new battery, alternator, and coolant reservoir tank! Really made a difference.
