Re: L69 IROC's

I would say it is. It has a Washington license plate and same miles as the one I saw on the Seattle CL. If it had a picture of the 5.0 Liter HO emblem on the rear bumper that was broke in the middle it would be the same one. Nice looking car, I was thinking about looking at that one, but the weather has been so bad lately I didn't do it.

Wow! Great find. If you ever want to sell it let me know. 11k is not a bad price and I am guessing you got the price down

Using a (likely very generous) estimated survival rate of 10%, that leaves us with about 250 85-86 L69s. And don't forget that not all of them will be IROCs. Some will be Z28s. Many others will be clapped out and modified beyond virtual recognition. I think your odds of getting struck by lightning are better than finding another nice example on here!

FWIW, it would be cool if you could post pics of this rare vehicle in this thread for historic purposes.
I have just brought one in New Zealand. 42000 original miles on it. Still has the orginal tires on it....

Re: L69 IROC's

I have an '85 L69 IROC. It's mostly original, 240,000 KM on the metric odometer, console clock, t-roof. I added some DigiTails LED tail lights, some LED square halos for the headlights which are connected to the marker lights, aluminum rear window louvers that someone had on a '83, a Klaxon (Ahooga) horn that my dad bought used in the 60's that's connected to a button under the dash, a small but obnoxious grim reaper sticker on the side of the window louvers, a Retro Manufacturing radio that looks more or less period correct and fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror. It's blue on the outside and grey in the inside. I got it repainted and some new floor mats last year. I've had it since 2002 and I drive it to work every day in the summers. It's pretty reliable and I get lots of thumbs up from strangers when I'm driving it.
