Vehicle Description
Conceived in 1972 and first contested in 1974, the International
Race of Champions (IROC) series was the motorsports equivalent of
an All-Star game. Showcasing a select group of the world's most
successful drivers from a broad range of racing disciplines, this
highly competitive series offered large purses and enjoyed
high-profile TV coverage. Following the Porsche Carrera RSRs used
for the inaugural 1974 IROC season, a switch to NASCAR-style,
tube-chassis Chevrolet Camaro "silhouette" cars gave Chevrolet
excellent promotional opportunities, and with the return of the
legendary Z/28 for 1977, the sporty Chevy was front and center in
the minds of enthusiasts and, most importantly, buyers. In fact,
the Camaro was continuously used in IROC from 1975 through 1986,
making it the most-used IROC body style of all, narrowly exceeding
the record of its GM stablemate, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
First offered for 1985 on the sleek, great-handling
third-generation models, the Camaro Z/28 IROC-Z took place as the
top high-performance Camaro model, with race-inspired features and
styling cues. The IROC-Z also gave Chevrolet an additional Camaro
model to compete against its archrival, the Fox-body Ford Mustang
GT. This 1990 Chevrolet Camaro is one of only 1,294 IROC-Z
convertibles produced for 1990. A 305ci V8 engine delivers 210
factory-rated horsepower with tuned-port Injection and a 4-speed
automatic transmission. Finished in white with a black convertible
top and accented with silver and gold lower body striping, this
IROC-Z sports a complementary black and gray interior treatment. In
addition to a climate-control system, features and options include
a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo, power windows and leather-wrapped
steering wheel, with exterior enhancements including fog lamps and
16-inch IROC-Z alloy wheels. Formerly part of the Charlie Thomas
Collection; part of the Mile-High Collection since 2015. CARFAX
shows manufacturer safety recall on 06/01/1990: Seat belt buckles.
