Vehicle Description
This 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z/28 would be a great score for the
collector who prizes classic curb appeal yet doesn't want to
sacrifice driving experience in its quest. It wears an eye-catching
color scheme and runs with confidence-inspiring assuredness - this
Chevy came along at just the right time to be factory-equipped with
a number of features that contribute to its outstanding
road-readiness.
The high impact black color combined with an angular third
generation form makes this Z/28 a classic that demands attention.
As you circle the car to get a closer look, you won't find any
glaring blemishes to diminish your enthusiasm, and only a thorough
detailing will be in order to elevate its already magnetic
appearance even further. Nice, even gaps surrounding the doors,
hood and rear hatch to indicate that this Camaro's exterior
alignment remains in fine form and the added tinted windows inject
a tasteful touch of customization on an exterior that otherwise
remains in its original configuration. The T-top configuration that
comes part and parcel with this generation of Camaros is a big
plus, offering the exhilaration of open air driving when you so
choose, with more shelter just a couple of easy steps away - the
panels included with this '88 are in nice shape and seal well.
Inside, the gray interior mixes cloth and vinyl to good effect and
is in strong overall shape, featuring front buckets that still have
plenty of miles left on them, and a rear bench seat that seems
surprisingly fresh. With door panels to each side that show no
marked discoloration and still sit flush, and interior trim that's
in consistently good condition, this is a vital looking, functional
driving environment - the buckets feature power adjustability, the
center console is looking clean and an aftermarket Sony AM/FM/CD
stereo is on board to fill the cabin with sound. The instrument
cluster holds a collection of factory gauges that are still nice
and clear and in strong working order. This upper crust Camaro left
the factory with air conditioning installed and its compressor
still blows with plenty of strength - a simple Freon charge will
have the feature back online. Raise the hatchback and you'll find a
rear storage area that's more spacious than you'd likely expect and
it remains in good shape - it doesn't actually appear to have seen
all that much use over the years.
In representing the third generation of its model, this '88 was not
only afforded a number of mechanical advances to improve the
motoring experience it offers, but it also benefitted from year
over year refinements that elevated that experience even further.
This Camaro is a solid driver, propelled by a 350 cubic inch V8 fed
by fuel injection that offers better all-weather performance than
its carbureted predecessors while sitting in a thoroughly stock but
well-maintained engine compartment. Dressed up with a pair of
aftermarket valve covers, the 350 is likely the original powerplant
and sends a deep, resonant note out of the added Flowmaster dual
exhaust, teaming with a 4-speed automatic transmission overdrive
gear that brings highway speed RPMs down to a level well out of
reach of Chevy's previous generations of transmissions. You'll find
power disc brakes at all four corners for fade-resistant, prompt
stopping ability, while power steering makes for ease of
navigation. A set of 17" American Racing wheels with a glossy black
color, original wheels included as well, that ties in perfectly
with the exterior and wrapped with Michelin tires still showing
plenty of tread puts just the right finishing touch on this very
appealing Chevy classic.
Looking sharp and ready to roll, this 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC
Z/28 is a slick, strong running classic. Call today!
