4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer

[SuperNovaSS]

Why not? It sold for 27K. If it was the car you really wanted to drive around, that's not too bad.

Jason, Two points we are chattering ,ranting about.
Invest in a Brand new 85 IROC in the wrapper or Buy it to drive as a Used Classic.
#1 its a great car that I would not drive "too much"... common sense
#2 Once you unwrap it and put
600- 1,000 miles on it ... ...
You devalued the car. $8,000-$10,000
or more. And the aura of "the best"

Each and everyone of us is concerned about the Cash Value of their Car.
We all comment on it in the Cars for Sale forum when others offer them For SALE.

Collect it, Own it for what it is...OR
Look for Another example to BUY and Drive and have "car" fun with it...jmho

If I owned it, I would only drive it a few miles here and there.... and drive the
HELL out of one just like it that I paid 1/2 or Less for

My friend had a '85 IROC (Silver with dark gray trim) think it was carb w/automatic tranny. Car was fast as hell but handled like sh*t in bad weather. Would fishtail on wet pavement if your were going too fast. Couldn't drive it in the snow. Isn't this black IROC missing the front spoiler lip? I thought there was a piece that went at the bottom. My friend had one on his car and it would always rub/scrape when pulling in and out of his driveway

The spoiler lip is missing because it was never installed at the dealership as part of the delivery prep process. The spoiler is with the car; just not installed.

In the video the spoiler is on the back seat.

That would have been a 16-second car, stock. Not quite &quot;fast as hell&quot;...TPI went better though.

True enough - the TPI cars were much better but still got smoked by the 5 liter Mustangs and GN's. That time period was when my brother and I were in our mid teens and spent a fair amount of time at the track with our Dad seeing what these cars actually ran. Many consider that time the beginning of the re-emergence of the horsepower wars that continue today. Most kids back then really had no clue as to what a &quot;fast&quot; car was. In the late 80's if you had a mid to high 13 second car that was pretty fast - nowadays that is nothing. Fun times though.

I've seen seen more cars in the wrapper from the 80's and 90's that the novelty has worn off for me. Kinda reminds me of this skit.

Wow, you must have been pissed when the '87s came around.
