I am so excited,
I purchased this 1985 Iroc from a board member and I drove it home 2000 miles this weekend. CAR INCLUDES 2.5 COWL HOOD , NEW TIRES ON ORIGINAL IROC 16 INCH RIMS, FOGLIGHTS, 5 SPEED TRANNY NEW CENTER FORCE CLUTCH ,CROSS DRILLED ROTORS ,10 BOLT POSI REAR T-TOPS RED INTERIOR GREAT SEATS,PERFORMANCE SPRINGS, AC DELETE BOX,350 PERFORMANCE MOTOR , HOLLY DOUBLE PUMPER, HEADERS,AND MANY MISC PARTS , CAR HAS NEW BLACK PAINT, HAYDEN ELECTRIC FAN WITH TEMP CONTROL STAT. TAILIGHTS SHOCK TOWER SUPPORT BRACE. She drive nice with plenty of HP but does need some TLC on the interior and has a small oil leak but nothing major. What do you think?

 

You got this for $850?

 

Well I had to pay for the flight, the lodging, and the gas to get her home, but yes $850 for the car is what I paid, 78,000 original miles on the body, and 2600 miles on the rebuilt motor.

 

I think he probably got your soul too, for that price lol !

Man, the luck some ppl have ..

Once on a blue moon, I stuble on deals .. but THAT one takes the cake

Congrats !

 

Thanks,
I think I had my cake and ate it too on this deal!

 

Good buy.

She looks good.

 

You already know what I think...that car is sweet looking, and that price CANNOT be beat!

 

Sweet deal! Now I feel like an idiot for paying $800 for an 82 Iron Duke Firebird. Lucky bastard.

 

yeah thats a great deal,i paid $1000 for mine,and mine looks like hell and back.

shiny ,good running,and cheap are ALWAYS a great bargin.

 

Awesome! Sharp car

 

wow! I paid over double that for my less than great condition stock z28, I feel really retarded.

 

850 bucks?!?! Dude you pratically stole that car! What a beauty, keep that thing clean Gotta love the 85 Iroc Zs.

 

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments everyone. I went to the JY today and have already begun restoring the interior, I didn't find alot but I faound a few items. It will take a little hunting to get everything together. Have a wonderful holiday season.

 

I hate you...

heheh
just kidding

NICE find!

Take good care of her, or we may have to come, ahem... 'liberate' her...

 

Good score man. Best of luck with it.

 

Awesome,I thought I'd done really well at $600 for my '83 Z but she's not any where as nice as your's congratulations and Happy Holidays.Now all she needs is a big red bow.

 

I am so estatic right now I can't contain myself. Today I replaced the entire wiper assembly, headlight dimmer switch, and I need seat belts bad but all in good time. I came across a Firebird with mint blue interior today but passed on the black/blue change. I really don't like the carmine red in there now but I will wait for a total swap when a car comes in.

 

Thats a very nice car man.
Hey wait,I know you..........your jandle ,the guy that was banned for opening 30 threads about selling your 82 Iron Duke lol.That was annoying,but nows your chnce to appoligize to everyone for that

Again,great purchase lawarnce

Aw, c'mon knightrider, is there any real need to "out" him like that? Seriously.

 

yah, that's a hell of a deal. For a car like that I would guess around $4000 or so would be the normal asking price! Whoever you bought it from must have REALLY needed to sell it!!

Being an 85, it could have had the carb motor stock, was it a TPI or carb car to begin with?

 

I just got my unmolested 89RS w/v8 5 speed and clean as hell for 500 this week as well I could not let this deal go past me

 

Heck of a deal, post some pics when you get a chance and congrats.

 

I think according to the RPO codes it was carbed, the new motor that is in it now is a 350 and has 2700 miles on the rebuiled. I need to tinker with the motor to tune her correctly so I need to do alot of reading and asking here. She kinda bogs slightly on a fast acceleration and I am totally new to the big block world. Good thing it is still 60 degress here during the day so I have been able to do alot of TLC work.

 

eh...a 350 is a small block, not a big block.

 

HE HE HE See how new i am to any motor besides a 4 banger. Thanks for correcting me mw66nova, there is alot I need to learn. Merry Christmas to you and to everyone.

 

the Tech/General Engine board is GREAT...i would live on there for the next little while till you get enough knowledge to be 100% confident to tackle anything thrown your way. especially with a holley sitting on top of that motor! the carb board will help alot too!

 

Thanks again,
I have been reading all I can and trying to absorb as much as I can, alot of info out there, but I am a pretty smart guy, and I will use all the knowledge I can obtain. Thanks and I wish you well, Merry Christmas my friend.

 

I bought my car off of a friend for a dollar, but I've put way more than $850 into it so far and it has 172,000 miles and doesn't look nearly as good.

If I'm not mistaken, that hood probably costs at least $350.

Great deal!
