Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer This 1990
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z Convertible, a professionally built
modern muscle machine that perfectly blends classic
third-generation F-body styling with serious LS-powered
performance. Finished in eye-catching Red with iconic IROC-Z
graphics and sitting aggressively on Foose wheels, this drop-top
Camaro delivers the look, the sound, and the performance to back it
up.
Under the hood lies the heart of this build: a GM Performance LS3
Long Block featuring a Stage 1 camshaft (GM Spec #19432422) with
approximately 10,000 miles since installation. The engine bay
presents clean and purposeful, showcasing the modern LS intake
manifold, updated accessory drive, aluminum radiator support, and a
well-executed swap that maintains a tidy, show-worthy appearance.
Power is backed by a 4L70E automatic transmission and routed to a
stout Currie 9-inch rear end, giving this Camaro the strength to
handle the LS3's output with confidence.
The performance upgrades on this build are extensive, with over
$60,000 invested into its transformation. Supporting modifications
include a header package, BMR fully adjustable race torque arm,
tubular panhard bar, upgraded lower control arms, sway bar,
subframe connectors, new coil springs, and rear shocks. The
underside photos reveal powder-coated suspension components and
rear disc brakes, emphasizing that this build was done with both
performance and durability in mind. A roll bar and kill switch
further reinforce its performance-oriented nature, making it
equally at home on the street or at a weekend track event.
Inside, the gray cloth bucket seat interior remains clean and
driver-focused. A Dakota Digital dash replaces the factory cluster,
providing modern instrumentation and a clear, updated readout while
maintaining a cohesive look with the original cockpit layout. The
center console flows into the automatic shifter, and the car
retains a factory-style feel enhanced by the added performance
touches. The convertible top has been replaced, allowing you to
enjoy open-air cruising with confidence.
The exterior is classic IROC-Z, finished in Red with bold side
graphics and a low, aggressive stance. Foose wheels wrapped in
Firehawk Indy 500 tires (245/40R18 front and 275/35R18 rear) give
the car a muscular footprint while improving grip and road manners.
The paint presents well and complements the car's iconic
late-80s/early-90s styling, ensuring this Camaro turns heads
whether parked at a show or rolling down the highway.
This 1990 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z Convertible represents a rare
opportunity to own a professionally built LS3-swapped drop-top with
substantial investment already completed. With modern horsepower,
upgraded suspension, reinforced drivetrain components, and timeless
IROC styling, this Camaro delivers serious performance at a
fraction of the build cost. For more information or to schedule a
