Re: 1989 silver iroc-z i heard 1989 was the only year for silver??? i need stats, thnx ;-) |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z When u say rare what exactly are u refering too? The silver color is pretty hard to find. But what other options does it have? More info would help out. 89 is a good year for a Roc. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z ok,sorry, rare as in how many were made that were silver with red iroc letters? ex. 5000 out of 100,000 made for a year, etc, thnx |

Re: 1989 silver iroc-z im going to look at it today, the guy says it has 4 wheel disc, thought those werent avalaible til 86 or 87??? |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z 4 wheel discs were available from 1982 - from the beginning. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z WILL85IROC, Chazman is correct regarding silver only being available in 1985. Is it perhaps dark grey instead of silver? I could have been repainted silver. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z would the vin tell me the original color? |

Re: 1989 silver iroc-z im trying to insert picture now... |

Re: 1989 silver iroc-z Better check the VIN, cause that doesnt look like a 1989. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z can you tell if its original color? has it been repainted anywhere? |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z going to look at it tomorrow.... from the pic can anyone tell if its the silver its supposed to be for that year?? |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z The 85 silver, sure. In 89 the closest was medium gray metallic, i.e. gunmetal. This GTA is the correct color for an 89, even though it's a 90... https://highwinds.barrett-jackson.co...ar_3-4_Web.jpg But more importantly, the Iroc in your pic has 85-87 wheels, and the decals are placed in 85-87 position on the doors (88-up they were at the rear of the door). Also the red Z28 emblems on the fenders are incorrect for a 89, they should read IROCZ after 88. BTW I've got an 87 Iroc in the garage that the seller swore was an 88. We got a surprise when he finally broke out the title. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z my mistake, it is a 1985 iroc-z.:D |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z 1985 |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z are you going to buy it? |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z yessir! |

Re: 1989 silver iroc-z pics will up tomorrow of my new edition to the family:nod: |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z Great buy if it's original silver. Never seen one in person myself! If you can find a build sheet or original RPO codes, that'd be awesome too and prove it most certainly was silver from factory. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z If it's an 89, it's this color: http://www.vettemod.com/forum/imageh...e02d412b72.jpg |

Re: 1989 silver iroc-z Oops missed that ;) From looking at the small pics he posted it already had the red stripes & decals that would go w/ the silver. Nice find for sure! |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z 1 Attachment(s) What's the paint code for that color? Also was there a lighter color? My Trans Am looks like this picture. Is that the gun metal? |

If it's the same as this: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6165/dsc2806.th.jpg ... then I think the official name of the color would be Medium Gray Metallic. Gunmetal is a bit of a colloquial term for it, I guess. |
Re: 1989 silver iroc-z See my problem is that I had an 89 GTA that was Med Gray Met. and this 89 Trans am at the same time and the Trans Am was lighter. The GTA was painted under warrenty before I got it but the Trans Am I had painted under warrenty and it came back the same lighter color than the GTA. It's almost like the GTA had a gold flake in it and the Trans Am had a silver flake. I am going to take it to a paint place this weekend and see if they can match it up. |

Where do you find that info, Iroctopless? I only ask because if met. silver appears on both the Z28 and IROC, you'd think there'd be more silver cars on the road, and yet I've never seen another one--and the ones in pictures have always been IROC's. http://www.camarosource.ca/php/camar...trim&year=1985 As to the accuracy, I can't be 100% correct. A person can't be with anything online. I would love to see if there was a Z28 out there that colour myself. I have seen a couple '85 met-silver Camaros in my travels and they also were both IrocZ's. One used to drive around my hometown of Gretna, MB Canada back in the mid 90's. He later trashed it. Had I known then what I know now!!!! :doh: I can't imagine that the met-silver only applied to the IrocZ's. If 21,177 IrocZ's were made in '85, it would be hard to believe that out of all the different coloured IrocZ's I've seen from that year, that roughly half, or 11,684, were painted met-silver. They'd be all over the place. There must be other '85 Camaro models out there that are also that colour. But, I'm like you, I've only seen it on IrocZs. |

FOUND IT! http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...AdIdZ193055454 And here's one more, a 1984 Z28 that has supposedly been stored for 25 years, unplated: http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...dIdZ188914843# - to be honest, I've seen quite a lot of pictures of silver Z28s in the 82-84 body style, including at least one in the official brochures. Was that a different color? Wow... only 45K clicks on that thing. 9000$. HO engine. I wish i had that kind of money right now :( |

That explains it, then. But that '85 SC should be the same color as the '85 IROCs. And it has similar red decals. I kinda like this silver/red theme. JamesC |
