Nice car, I would kill for a clean hardtop Iroc, especially G92 package. Sounds like you got a good deal.

valencia, that's a really nice thirdgen, nice find. How much did you buy it for? Did it already have those aftermarket parts on it when you bought it, or did you install them?

I bet it's almost as quick as your 86 eh?

How many miles are on it?
Sounds like you got some good options that my GTA has.
Paint looks better than your blue one too.
As for the speedo, some pre-85 fbodies that were Mecham related had the 160.
Other than that, I I think it could be aftermarket.
145/200 can be had too.

Damn, sounds like a nice find, wish I could have found cars like that when I was looking, but oh well. I don't know which one I would sell, probably the blue one, as I would want the 5spd. You really can't go wrong either way though, they are both nice cars in their own ways.

Nice car.

I thought the "160MPH" speedo rang an old bell of mine.

I did a search through the history/restoration forum and it appears to be an aftermarket item, not a factory one.

Try searching "160MPH" on the H/R forum and you'll find a few posts about it and one with pics, I'd have saved the link, but closed the page instead of minimizing it.
