Default Re: Another of my old cars goes for big $ without me!

No update on the T/A as there has been no progress at the body shop since I dropped the sheetmetal off and I am getting somewhat frustrated at the moment.

I also have been getting the wife's 87 IROC tuned up and cleaned up and ready for her to drive. Now that it's done, she doesn't want to drive it and defers to me whenever we go somewhere. I guess that's good for me as it's really a fun (and suprisingly fast) car. It will spin the tires well into second gear (for an automatic that's pretty impressive).

It turned out the car is a lot rarer than I initially thought. Chevy only made 12,105 L98 engined IROC Z's in 1987, the first year for that engine. In addition they only made 3,052 yellow Camaros in total, out of the entire production run of 137,760. Chevy doesn't have a breakdown for yellow L98 IROCs but I'd imagine it's probably in the low hundreds.

Anyway, I just want to make sure that if I ever sell it that I sell it early enough before it's worth anything so I won't jeodardize my perfect losing streak.
