Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z28
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.
Except for the first season, those cars were provided by Chevrolet,
and they chose to feature the Camaro.
This IROC version of the 1988 Camaro is in full IROC street garb.
Special decal 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.
Purchased new at Klick-Lewis Chevrolet in Palmyra, PA by the son of
a long time employee at GE and always garage kept in a climate
controlled building, things are looking exactly like they did when
this IROC-Z rolled off the Norwood assembly line. This 28,722 title
verified actual mile 2 owner example comes with all of it's service
records, the original window sticker, order forms, and has recently
had the AC converted to R134A with all GM parts. It's time to IROC
and roll baby bear!
Exterior
Code 81U, Bright Red covers the straight steel body panels,
fairings and front built in spoiler of the car. A curved glass rear
greenhouse deck offering up plenty of storage, and IROC Z badging
in a gray fade is seen on each door, as well as Z28 5.7 Tuned Port
injection in a charcoal to gray fade badge on the front lower
fender. Hood louvers grace the long pony car hood and this
particular model was optioned without the T-roof, so there's no
worrying about leaks. Polished 16-inch 5 spoke Camaro mags are
attached to all 4 corners and noted as "front" and "rear" wheels
because of different offsets. Lower rocker portion of this car is
very clean and presents as a nicely cared for 28,722 mile car.
Interior
A snazzy custom gray broadcloth bowls you over in bucket seat
configuration shows Camaro stitched into the lower seat back. The
bolsters are smooth and all bordered with varying degrees of gray
piping. This also holds true for the rear 2 plus 2 seats which
individually fold down for rear compartment access. A black console
and dash, house all the critical instrumentation, as well as
climate controls, radio and black ball topped automatic shifter.
Power windows are installed and power locks and a joystick mirrors
actuators are equipped on the gray tweed door panels along with a
black plastic sill, gray vinyl armrest, and carpeted lower panel.
The factory steering wheel, leather wrapped I might add, fronts the
deeply inset round gauge cluster which resides under a crack free
black dash pad. Gray carpeting floods the floors and is topped with
aftermarketblack and gray floor mats. Up top, a very tight gray
broadcloth headliner hovers above all this originality.
Drivetrain
The Tuned Port Injection 5.7 Liter gives plenty of smooth power,
225 horses of it actually. This is fed with electronic fuel
injection. Meanwhile, on the back is a 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission. All this sends power back to a 10-bolt positraction
rear axle with the 3.27 gearing. All is looking factory fresh and
clean as a whistle.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust is noted on the suspension and driveshaft and
rear pumpkin. The floor pans are solid, as is the unibody
construction bathed in black. Power actuated 4 wheel disc brakes
help this racer stop dependably and independent coil spring front
suspension works with a torque arm and coil spring suspension for
the rear to keep the tires hooked to the pavement. The factory
single exhaust with dual outlets provides the exhale and throaty
5.7 Liter IROC growl.
Drive-Ability
As I sat inside, I was harkened back to my mid 1980's memories with
the AC on high and screaming down the highway going to the shore.
This car fired right up, and the test track proved all those
memories true, a great cruiser, smooth accelerator, and good
handling. The cassette player was working so I popped in my Peter
Gabriel "Sledgehammer" cassette while I cruised.
For my test drive I wanted to keep the mileage at a low low 28,722
and succeeded with .20 miles to spare! A lovely car, wonderful
color scheme, and a good driver. Near showroom clean, spending most
of its time in a climate controlled garage, all the while treated
to maintenance as necessary. Stop by our Hallowed Halls and let
this Camaro IROC your world!
