I sold my last IROC in July last year, just wasn't the right one. Been looking ever since and bought this one about 50 miles from here this morning, I would call it good driver condition, mostly original paint and nice inside.It's a 305 TPI, automatic, 107K and is pretty much the car I was looking for.

Re: Whew, "New" IROC

I've always liked white 3rrd gens, and that yellow stripe does something for it.

Looks like it was really well taken care of. Interior doesn't look worn.

Wow. VERY CLEAN. I'm looking at the parts that usually get the most wear like the side of the driver's seat plastic covers. They look perfect.

Re: Whew, "New" IROC

Thanks, I had forgotten about the floor. we bought this house about 25 years ago and I was going to get the floor fixed but then filled up the garage with old cars and motorcycles and just never had it empty enough to deal with. I quit noticing it 10 or 15 years ago.

Yep, it's very nice, very nice x 2. Irvan had been looking for a while so I'm happy that he finally found one that he likes. Yeah, I parked in the street (I hadn't driven the thing for at least a month, maybe 6 weeks, so getting it on the road was good).

Re: Whew, "New" IROC

Thanks, Pictures are better than real life with car, got some little dinks from kids playing around it in the basement it was in but car is ok. I like the look of the tires but have a date code from 2000, they will have to be replaced. Is nice to have James C stop by and share his wisdom.
