Doesn’t look bad and the price is sweet..

Is the passenger door supposed to have a VIN sticker?

My guess is $22k. I think the Z’s sell for a little less than the IROCs.

Oh yeah, ray is on top of it!

Nice job Ray!

I thought this is around what you paid for it and figured you were selling to a collector with some extra fun money so maybe you made a few bucks.. (Maybe you got haggled the asking price and still made out!)

Really nice car.. surprised it didn’t stick around longer, but it ain’t no Formula..

I think you could have gotten $22 for it..

Ray knows where all the nice cars are for sale too..

Very intriguing.. Would love to see those collections

I think Biz documents and gets really good pics of underside, exterior and interior. I can see why a collector would want such a clean Vert with not a spec of rust (rare for these cars).

Thanks, for me, the underside tells the whole story of the car, it's always the first thing I request from the seller.
Here is a couple pics of cars I've owned. If the underside is not super clean, it's not for me

I’d argue if the white car is as clean as Biz’s car and they can prove it, they could get more than the asking price there.

I’d prefer a clean underside to low miles.

My car has no rust anywhere underneath. Aside from the factory or dealer undercoating the original owner got on the car I have pics that look like the ones Biz put above. I saw a guy who had a 3000 mile IROC 5-speed that he got a good deal on because some lady put it outside for years after her husband died. The new owner did a budget respray that had a lot of orange peel and didn’t do the car justice and the underside was orange with rust.

I wouldn’t trade my clean 88 for that 3000 mile car even if he gave me $5k on top of it. I was appalled when I looked under there.. When I first saw the car I assumed it was 103,000 but then the owner showed me all this documentation and told the story of the car.. That car needs to be restored.

If you want to get good money for your car and sell fast, show off how clean it is under there. The Vanguard guys do a good job of showing the cars online I have to say.

There was a red 92 Vert I believe with Black stripes on eBay a while back with 30k miles but looked like a 5k mile car. I’d bet it was as clean with 30k miles or cleaner than that 344 mile IROC that we never got to see underneath..

I get skeptical of super low mile cars when they don’t show off the underside..

Many on here have said judge the car on the condition, not the miles..

I see cars with 100k miles in better shape than 30k mile cars.

Wow, that’s impressive! And Mustangs are almost all terrible underneath!

I never cared about selling it. The guy that painted my car paints cars worth $500k-$1million so I’d laugh at a collector that would say my repaint devalued the car. You have to wait for a year to get your car painted by the guy I used. He just repainted a real “non kit” Shelby Cobra that was signed by Carroll Shelby for the second time because the owner got chips on it. He doesn’t just call it a repaint or respray, but a restoration paint job. That Cobra travels around and wins awards but the guy likes driving it too. Said he paid about $900k for it.

I knew I wouldn’t enjoy the car as much with the original paint. I wanted the car to glow and look amazing in any light from any angle. My underside still needs to be detailed, I never got around to that, but it will look good when it’s done. It’s just dusty underthere and there’s some cobwebs, etc..

I consider 30k pretty low miles and in the collector world for many classic cars that’s the case, but the fact that there’s a bunch of Thirdgens with under 1,000 miles out there I suppose gets the collectors to hold out for those and hope they have the combination of a clean car that runs and drives with low miles.

I wanted a combination of a low-ish mile clean show car that I wasn’t super terrified to take out and cruise around our coastal area and go to cruise nights and shows. I wanted the nicest car I could get for under $20k with the options, color, etc. I wanted an 88-89 IROC Vert in Black or Flame.

They did let me bump the insurance value to $30k and when I first got the car they said the max they could do was $20k. Partially because the paint was restored and I sent the receipts and pictures to document. Didn’t raise the premium too much.

Based on the attention the car gets and the praise the paint job gets, I’d say the value increased and in a showroom I think it could hold its own next to a original paint time capsule. You could look with a magnifying glass and there’s no evidence of overspray anywhere and the paint matches the jams perfectly.

I will argue for repaints, because done right I think it’s a value add, but you have to be in the $10k paint job range. If my original paint was as nice as scottmoyer’s IROC I may not have done it.

I dont think I could sell the car for the insurance value, but I’ve gotten offers for $22k to sell which is almost double what I paid. A guy that goes to all the cruise nights and always brings different classics from his collection gave me his card and said “nicest IROC I’ve seen anywhere up here, $22k if you want to sell, here’s my card”

Again, though I didn’t buy it to sell it. I’m working on making it look like a 100 mile car, but that I can drive around. It’s just for me and my strange love of IROCs though.

What cars are getting re-painted that are worth $500,000 - $1,000,000
and who is paying that after they have been re-painted ??

It’s crazy and he said the guy with the Cobra is kinda crazy.. but his exact words were, “This guy bought this car for $900k and I’ve repainted it twice because he got chips on it and it has to be meticulous because he gets it inspected and appraised, but also wants to drive it..”

A kit Cobra can run $40-60k

A real one like the one next to my IROC in his shop can go for over a million..

That car actually bumped mine in line as well..

He also restored a 63 split window and just sold it to a collector for $160k and that car was there when I was in there.. said he got the car in rough shape for $60k and did a flawless nut and bolt numbers matching resto..

He said he’d sell me the Vette for $125 if I wanted it..

He’s restored and repainted 1953 Corvettes worth over $500k

He’s known for Corvettes mostly but his showroom is full of low mile collector cars that people want restored to perfect looking factory paint..

There was a 15k mile Grand National from Florida that a guy wanted redone just like my IROC.. He said he’s been getting more 80s cars the past few years..

I also got bumped by a 70 Chevelle SS that was an older restoration and the guy wanted nicer paint done..

He had some $20-30k custom paint jobs I saw but not my style at all.. very impressive..

or.. I was in a room full of claybar residue.. you decide.. ha ha

He thought my IROC was “cool” and told me people asked him if it was for sale several times when it was sitting in his showroom, but he kinda commented that he didn’t understand with cars worth hundreds of thousands next to it why they’d give a crap about an IROC.. I was like gee, thanks!

He also told me a story about how he saved a bunch of money and bought a brand new loaded 84 Z28 in 1984 and he was king of the neighborhood and then the 85 IROC came out and one of his neighbors got one and he was so pissed.. So IROCs always kinda bothered him after that..
