My new car!

As you may read on forums that I haev beem asking opinions on pricings and etc and I recently came across a 1987 IROC-Z 5.7 Liter. It is white with gold IROC-Z decals. Flowmaster exhaust and hurst transmission. 78,000 miles and looks like new with no dents scraches rip in interior. I cant wait to have some photos up here and videos. Feels good to own my first Camaro!

Re: My new car!

i hope you're not driving it year round?


also pics and price paid? There is no hurst transmission, i'm guessing you mean it's a 5 speed with hurst shifter?

Thats what I ment, I paid 8000 and money well spent. Im not going to drive it year round only when in spring,summer,fall and I will only drive it in the winter if theres no snow/salt on the roads. Im picking it up this Saturday so I could have pics up as fast as that day but as you know, its been snowing out... a lot

Ya, don't mind those oil stains on the driveway either....

But it looks good, especially considering it's a virgin.

Are you sure it's a 5.7? More than likely a 5.0. Very nice! White is my favorite.

Re: My new car!

Thats a sweet first car if your just getting your liscense, if you mean getting it back because of tickets... its still a sweet car. 10x better than my first car... 10x the cost too!



my favorite part was the broken fog lights... the fact it had no compression was just a bonus
