BLUE 85 TPI IROC IN MY TOWN...

I didn't wanna put this in the for sale section cause it ain't mine, and I'm not selling it for him. Just wanted to put it out for you guys so it has a better chance of going to someone that will take care of it. Paint looks original and the body is straight. Only peeked underneath but didn't see any real rust. Just dirty. I'd love to have it but the wife will kill me if I bring home another project! If anyone wants I can check it out better sometime later this week.

Those door moldings and the add-on Firebird spoiler make the thirdgen purist old ladies cross themselves, and whisper desperate prayers as they scurry away. But with the proper application of holy water and readings of the scripture, I could see this car being "cleaned" of it's checkered past.

If those door moldings and spoiler are drilled, it'll take a lot of holy water.

They look peel & stick to me. But no matter, if they were drilled I'd just make sure the holes are sealed so they won't rust, and I'd cover em with OE moldings. The spoiler would probably be most easily undone by replacing the decklid.

Re: BLUE 85 TPI IROC IN MY TOWN...

He doesn't have the price on it. I'll stop and ask him next chance I get. He owns a local tire shop here in town. It looks like the second spoiler is bolted on, there's rubber gaskets under it. The body moulding just looks like pep boys stick on stuff. Even the interior is 80's style... He's got and old school radio shack digital equalizer mounted under the center vents, lol! Couldn't get a good pic cause of the glare. Odometer reads 17k, so I'm sure it's 117.

I would like to just know the price? The small stuff can be fixed looks like a decent driver.

I'd forgotten how we use drill holes without hesitation to mount eq's under those AC center vents back in the 80's...that is before we ascended to a "purists" level!

Re: BLUE 85 TPI IROC IN MY TOWN...

Looks like I'm gonna be stuck on the road most of this week. If the weather is nice over the weekend I'll ask him if i can take it for a test drive. I wanna see how that eq works! Always wanted to put one in back in the day but never got around to it. Call me cheesy, but i always kinda liked those old school LED light bars that you wired in that "danced" with the music, lol!

Hey man, you make BEST offer! He's selling it, and you're buying it. The sooner you accept that, the better things will be for everyone involved.

Re: BLUE 85 TPI IROC IN MY TOWN...

Got a little info today. First, he's asking 6000 for it. He bought it in 2011 and has only put 400 miles on it, that's why he's selling it. He's the third owner. The car was repainted at some point. I can give his contact info if anybody is interested.

Re: BLUE 85 TPI IROC IN MY TOWN...

Yea, I think he's a little high too. For what it is I don't think 5 would be bad for a nice driver. And I'd probably pay that if I didn't already have a couple. If I'm gonna spend that much for a third car in the garage tho it's gotta be something a little more desirable.
