Latest purchase, 1987 IROC.
Just picked this beauty up Sunday from a buddy of mine. '87 IROC, 305 TPI, automatic, rear drums. The interior is super clean, not a single tear in any of the seats. Was originally Red on red, but someone repainted it black at some point. Pretty much all it needs is new weather striping, the t-top seals are almost non-existent, the outer window felts are cracked and it needs new door seals. other then that, its a really clean car. straight as an arrow. Overall, im ridiculously happy with it. It has has brand new directional tires and a complete Flowmaster exhaust system from the exhaust manifolds all the way back. It needs a few simple things, front struts, sway bar links, hood shocks...nothing serious. What do you guys think? (the pictures dont do it justice, that black looks great in person, I just took the rear louvers off my '89 and put them on this one)

Re: Latest purchase, 1987 IROC.
yea, i'm definitely pretty lucky the previous owner took really good care of her. my only beef with it really is the paint job, the quality of the paint itself is good but the execution could have been better. they could have masked some areas a little better, i can see red showing through in the hard to reach places and such. Do you have pictures of your vert on here? i'd like to see it, if thats cool!
lets see...this '87 is my 5th or 6th third gen. i've owned nothing but these cars since I was 16, haha. that other one in the background is my '89. It was stolen from my first year of college and wrecked, over 9,000 dollars in damage. I was too stubborn to let her go though and fixed it myself with a 500 dollar IROC body.
