Hey all,
here's a taste of what's to come soon. Truckload of IROCs outside Norwood on 6-20-1987, ready for delivery. Hard to tell in this pic but they are all missing the front lowermost fender skirt which I guess gets applied later so they don't scrape going on or off the truck.
I have dozens of pictures to share, mostly Norwood and mostly outside the factory. I will post them ASAP.

Awesome pic.

 

beautiful site!!! :hail: :hail:

 

Red must have been a popular color.

 

Kinda like Henry Ford's quote... except in this case "you can have any color you want, as long as it's red!"
Neat picture!

Sweet

 

Cool, gotta see more!!!! I want an 87 just like them, and there they are new!!

 

Fantastic picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

 

I've never seen ten cars on a transporter that were all the same color, much less ten red IROC-Zs! Very cool picture.

The image is quite clear for a scanned photo too.

 

Too coool, I can't wait for the rest of them......

 

Just imagine that pulling up in your drive way, It would be like christmas in june

Cant wait to see more, maybe I will see my car in one of them???

 

Kizz,i cant wait to see the rest!!

 

I was just wondering, how many of those cars in that pic do you think have been put through the crusher and been reborn as something else?

 

Hi kizz!
That's a great shot of those cars (even though they are Camaros-Ha)!
Just to let you know, when I got my 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am (I bought new, #231), it came without the air dam and the intercooler scoop attached for that reason! No scrapeing. I had to wait at the dealership for my car to be cleaned, a full tank of gas put in, and for those items to be installed! The dealership gave me the whole package of literature that they were to fill out, and send back to GM, showing everything ready for the customer to recieve his car!
Did you know, that back then, the cars were recieved by the dealership with no ignition fuse! It was in a small blue color cardstock, hanging on the rearview mirror! My dealership even gave that to me (I use it at car shows!) I guess that was for the cars not to be stolen.
I left the dealership with plastic still attached to the seats (I took off the steering wheel plastic). I still have them!

So, where are the Firebirds and Trans Ams??? Ha!

Have a good one,

George

 

Thats because Bright Red was the most made/liked color.

 

Thats a neat picture. My buddy's got a red 87 Iroc built at Norwood. Maybe his is one of the cars on the hauler!

 

sweet picture. i would love to have an iroc.

 

Zedder, look real hard around your area as all these IROC's were bound for Canada!

 

Great photo!
Its amazing to think that picture was taken back in 1987.
3rd gen cars truly have an ageless design.

 

I can't wait to see the others Kizz!:hail: :hail:

 

AWESOME!!! Thank you!
That is the kind of pic I was hoping for when I posted the original thread.

:hail:

 

Too cool. Same color as my '87 z28. Exceptions being that mine's not an IROC and mine came from California. Great photo though.

That would be interesting to know if any of those cars belongs to a member on this site now.

 

First Car, left hand side of the lot is a black camaro, maybe an IROC, Wierd thing is, look at the rest of the lot, everything else is so old and outdated looking, that thing looks modern still today. Am I the only one who thinks our cars were ahead of their times?

EDIT: Im not up on all my camaro knowledge, but the IROC is the one with the grill with the fog lights rite? cause it looks like that grill, but it has no lower lip (like the ones on the truck) Maybe there is a load of blakc ones to go on the next trailer to the left of the camera


..oh yeah, are there more pics coming?

 

wow, thats exactly what i thought too!

 

Yup, they were ahead and still are. They were meant to be. Nothing looks like them, and IMO there never will be a car that will even come close. That car looks to be an 82-84 Z28.

 

Good eye guys. Looks like it has clear front light covers on too.

 

Really nice picture.

Looks just like mine.

Chet

 

Wouldn't you know it I took these pics and attended this show just before I started collecting info on these cars!

[B]First Car, left hand side of the lot is a black camaro, maybe an IROC, That first car on the left was an '82-'84 Z28. And if you look close next to the Cavalier wagon theres another '82-'84 Z28 in either Charcoal or Black.

This carrier was staged by Ryder for the U.S.C.C. during their National meet in 1987 in Norwood. Many thanks to Ryder for doing this for us! There are two more shots of this carrier, one front 3/4 and one rear 3/4. We'll see if we can get them up for all to see.

 

I wonder how much crap the guy's driving the T-Bird and the Dodge Truck on the left side of the parking lot got from their GM co-workers hehe....

 

If you look closely the fourth car on the same side is also a black Camaro, rear-end shot.

I agree, our cars were/are definatly ahead of their time, I still think that today when I see a sweet Camaro or 'bird driving down the road
