On her way home.

Finally after 6 years and 6 miles, my IROC I sold, has now been repurchased from the collector I sold it to. Can't wait to get behind the wheel again.

Re: On her way home.

Congrats man! I'm sure you'll love getting it back! About 9 months ago I sold my IROC back to the family I'd bought it from 5 years prior. I added about 4,000 miles onto it, but was still "low" at 25,000.

It was like a scene from Overhaulin' when they saw the car again for the first time...tears everywhere!

Re: On her way home.

That is a Beautiful car!! Its the exact car on my wanted list. Sounds crazy, but I didn't realize there was an 85 IROC HO produced until just last year. 20 years ago, I had an 84 Z28 HO & loved the car at the time. I started watching for another one recently & then learned the HO was still mfd in 1985 & in Irocs. I knew this was the car I had to find someday rather than the 84 Z.

I also look forward to the info you have to share.
