Vehicle Description
The iconic "IROC." What a legendary ride. It was one of the last
great cars to bridge the gap between the heavy metal muscle
machines of yesteryear and the high-winding tuners of today. This
1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z/28 is already a highly-coveted
classic, but it goes beyond that as a collector car that will only
become more popular-and probably more valuable-over the coming
years. From bumper to bumper, this car is mostly all-original,
making it a vehicle that rates high on the list of many serious
collectors.
Sleek and lean, this IROC Z/28 is a very well-preserved automobile.
It's technically a three-door car, two-door with a hatch, and has a
nice slick top. The rich, deep burgundy paint comes together with a
soft, medium gray interior to produce an absolutely gorgeous color
combination. The paint job on this car is original, and man is it a
powerful finish. It lends itself amazingly well to the exotic lines
of the third generation Camaro. The exterior was re-cleared a few
years back so it has maintained a nice luster. There are a few
water spots, but a nice buffing might be the solution to that. The
body is remarkably straight and solid with no major flaws. The
doors and hatch open and close well, with a nice tight seal around
the edges. No ragged rubber molding here and no wind whipping
through the seams. The original decals are all in place and
optional factory chrome 16" wheels provide that ever-important
final touch to the package.
As you slide into one of the comfy bucket seats, you'll be
impressed with the way the interior has retained its originality
just as well as the outside. A stylish Grant steering wheel has
been added but, other than that, the interior is pretty much the
way it came from the factory. Seats, carpet, door panels, headliner
... You'll have no complaints about any of them. No major tears or
rips. No scuffs or broken plastic. The factory gauges are all clear
and easily legible. The original radio is still in the dash, with
an added CD changer tucked away in the trunk. And of course, you'll
enjoy the comfort of air conditioning and a full complement of
power options, including windows and door locks.
Raising the hood, you'll find that the engine compartment in this
IROC is impeccably groomed from fender well to fender well. The
power plant itself has been immaculately detailed and is ready to
show off at the cruise-in. Even the undercarriage is clean and dry.
Just what you want to see! You'd have a hard time finding a daily
driver with a more sanitary power train than this one. A stock 350
TPI V8 engine provides the heartbeat for this Chevrolet. It's a
strong-running motor and like most fuel-injected power plants,
starts right up every time. Power is transferred to the rear end
through a 700-R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Both
motor and tranny comprise a well-balanced combination that yields
performance and reliability. Underneath, all of the suspension
parts are nice and snug, while four-wheel power disc brakes are
able to stop this Camaro on command. This is the total package!
The bottom line is simple. This is a really nice automobile that
has successfully maintained its identity in a car culture that is
ever-changing. Whether you're looking for a daily driver, a
collector car, or an investment... This is an automobile that
definitely merits serious consideration. Call today!
