1989 IROC L98 w. 58,000 miles
Picked up this Camaro recently - my second 89 (with the last being a few years ago). The first 89 IROC I had was a okay-shape project I cleaned up (interior, 4th gen seats and rear end). This one has saw 5,000 in its first 5 years, 35k over the next 4 years, and then went between slow miles and sitting unmoved since 1998.
It runs fantastic, drives smoothly and is reliable. Glad to have A/C and one that never overheats. I plan to drive it more regularly and will keep it stock for now, but eventually would like to go with a Eddy intake & TB setup (or LS, as I'm currently doing a 5.3 into an 81 Firebird for a future DD), better exhaust, cam, etc.
Right now this car has:
-Harris Performance Stage 1 chip
-South Bay injectors
-Magnaflow muffler and hi-flow cat (still a single until later)
-Innovative Wiring Big 3 H/O kit
-Sony's amplified MEX-xb100bt head unit with Polk speaker and a shallow Rockford Fosgate PS-8 subwoofer in the rear. After some tuning, it is a pleasure to have crystal clear sound with some punch.
-Have some BMR subframe connectors to install next month
So fun to be back in a third gen again, and in such a lovely one to boot.

Awesome! ...one of my favorite color combos. ....Check out the Feb or March "Car of the Month" nominations under Appearance and Detailing. One of the nominees has a convertible in the same color.
