My 85 LB9 Iroc
Ok, so I'm new to third gens, but am well versed in second gens....I'm building a 79 street/strip car. I really wasn't looking for another car, but a family friend has been telling me about his neighbor's Iroc. He said it'd be right up my alley, it's solid and just needs little things.
So after a morning of fishing, we stopped by and took a look at it. I couldn't believe how solid this car is, not a speck of rust on the floor pan!!! The doors don't even have rust under them!! The interior is stock, even with the original ERS radio and speakers!
I plan on doing the ECM swap to get rid of the cold start injector. The car needs some mechanical tlc.....tune up, front tires, a good detailing, etc.

Re: My 85 LB9 Iroc
Thanks, I hear its the only year they made silver. Unfortunately there's no real production numbers for a silver Iroc. Now if I could only find what interior I have!

Great find! Looks like you got a good one. Not many of those left in that condition, take good care of her.

Re: My 85 LB9 Iroc
This car is already tucked away in the garage, just gotta get a cover for her. Only reads 69,000 on the odometer. It's only gonna be a cruise night/ nice weather car.

Re: My 85 LB9 Iroc
