1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z28
History
The third-generation Chevrolet Camaro was introduced for the 1982
model year by Chevrolet.
These were also the first Camaros with factory fuel injection,
four-speed automatic transmissions, five-speed manual
transmissions, four-cylinder engines, 16-inch wheels, and hatchback
bodies.
Why This Car Is Special
In 1985, Chevrolet introduced the Camaro IROC-Z, an acronym for
International Race of Champions Z28. The IROC was a Z28 upgrade
package and offered buyers a specially tuned suspension, staggered
front and rear wheels, a unique sway bar and a host of other
features, many of which were similar to or borrowed directly from
Corvette. This 1987 Camaro IROC-Z that we have at Skyway Classics
has much more in the engine compartment than what it came with.
Mechanics
Our IROC has a modified L98 5.7L Tuned Port Injected V-8 engine
with 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission, modified intake
system reworked air intake system with Ram Air, custom valve
covers, high performance spark plug wire kit, headers and much
more.
The TPI 350 motor was distinguishable from the TPI 305 by checking
the VIN (8th character, F=305, 8=350). The 350 L98 gave a boost to
225 hp @ 4400 and 330ftlb @ 2800 and received hydraulic roller
lifters and new valve cover/head design. Valve covers featured new
sealing and center bolts in the valve covers.
Spent gasses exit through the headers into the dual exhaust system
and out the rear tips. The IROC rides on the correct factory
5-spoke mag wheels on performance tires.
Interior
The red cloth bucket seat interior our IROC has is nice with
matching red carpet, dash, console, and side panels. It is loaded
with factory options like automatic transmission with overdrive and
B & M custom shifter, glass top, Power windows and locks, Cruise
control,Tilt column, and AM/FM/Cassette stereo.
Exterior
The IROC has all the classic lines covered n white paint with the
largest visual change this year was the third brake light was now
mounted inside the rear spoiler instead of on top of the rear
hatch. The Camaro has all the factory correct emblems, graphics
hood scoops to give it that IROC look.
Conclusion
This 1987 Chevrolet IROC Z Camaro has the right look and stance,
and can back it up with more horses than it came stock with. It is
a real nice car to cruise in or go to the shows. So race on down
here to see it today.
