Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet IROC Z-28
A concept created partially by Roger Penske, the International Race
of Champions or IROC would pit all-star drivers from numerous
venues of racing, against each other in similarly prepared cars.
Excepting the first season, those cars were provided by Chevrolet,
and they chose to feature the Camaro.
This IROC version of the 1987 Camaro is in full IROC street garb.
Special Painted badging, a low-slung windshield, some fairings, and
a powerful 5.7 Liter tuned port fuel injection engine were just a
few of the features that were added to this version of the Camaro
only a 2-owner car with 13,233 consigner stated original miles.
Exterior
Maroon paint covers the straight steel body panels, fairings and
spoiler of the car. A curved glass rear deck with louvers to help
keep out some of the sun is seen on back. IROC Z in gold is seen on
each door, as well as 5.7 L tuned port injection in gold on the
front lower fender. Hood louvers and a removable smoked glass "T"
top are present as well. Gold 5-spoked Camaro mags are attached to
all 4 corners and noted as "front" and "rear" wheels because of
different offsets. Underside of car is very clean, and presents as
a 13,233 mile car
Interior
A snazzy two tone dark camel and light camel bucket seat
configuration shows angled stitching in the middle panels on seat
and back. This also holds true for the rear 2+2 seats. All leather
is in very good condition. A menacing black console and dash, house
all the critical instrumentation, as well as climate controls,
radio and automatic shift lever. A flip top storage area is
available which also doubles as a convenient arm rest. Cruise
control, and power windows are installed. There is an interesting
pre-digital mileage "counter" if you will that can be set for
numerous important maintenance interval reminders and appointment
date above the rear-view mirror in the center part of the "T"
structure. Power locks, power steering, power brakes, power mirrors
and a power driver's seat are working and are great conveniences
with this sports car.
Drivetrain
The Tuned Port Injection 350ci "5.7L" engine gave a boost to 225 hp
@ 4400 and 330ftlb @ 2800. This V8 engine received hydraulic roller
lifters and new valve cover/head design. Valve covers feature new
sealing and center bolts. Heads feature new raised lip for improved
valve cover sealing. The two center intake bolts were changed from
90-degree orientation to 72 degrees. A TH700R4 automatic
transmission is attached to the back of the mill. All this attached
to an HD 7.75 inch 4 pinion rear end (denoted by 9 bolts). This
rear axle configuration comes with tapered rather than straight
roller bearings and a cone-clutch rather than disc-clutch limited
slip unit. This IROC-Z features an upgraded suspension, lowered
ride height, specially valved Delco-Bilstein shocks, larger
diameter sway bars, a steering/frame brace known as the "wonder
bar", a special decal package, and a Tuned Port Injection system
taken from the Chevrolet Corvette.
Excepting the badging, this car is disguised as a mild mannered
everyday 1987 Chevrolet Camaro. A look under the hood, as well as
the IROC status, makes it anything but mild mannered. All in very
good condition, this car is a definite goer, but can also be viewed
at any car show you may want to drive it to.
