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.The
inaugural year was 1974 and was won by Mark Donohue. While
primarily run on oval tracks, it was also run at Riverside's road
course, Watkins Glen, and at Daytona Speedway's road course. From
1975 to 1989, Chevrolet Camaros were used as the race car
bodies.
For consignment, a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z28 with a title
verified 94,813 actual miles. Pop in Born in the USA, and turn it
up when Darlington County plays, "We drove 800 miles without seeing
a cop; we got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top!". Yes,
this iconic piece of 80's nostalgia is just like the one you had or
always wanted.
Exterior
Solid black paint is augmented by a silver stripe that encircles
the car just over the cladding that gives the car a performance
profile. The iconic IROC-Z strobe decals on the doors remain large
and leaning as if pushed by the wind. In front, deep set dual
headlights hover over marker light integrated into the fascia and
the distinct dual vents, though blending with the paint, are still
visible on the hood, a feature not shared with mere mortal Camaros.
In back, tail lights made aggressive with the simple use of black
trim line up over the rear bumper which advertises the mode of
injection. Our 16-inch wheels carry 245/60ZR16 tires and IROC
center caps. Imperfections include chips, scratches, inclusions,
curb rash, scuffs, and flex cracks.
Interior
Simple black door panels are intact with some light patina and they
open to gray cloth bucket seats also showing some age and a large
tear on the driver's lower. The rear 2+2 present in good condition
and all seats are accented with light gray piping. Our steering
wheel fronts a plastic faced instrument cluster that displays five
gauges clearly and concisely. The center stack has the A/C levers
and Pioneer aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio just before the center
console begins, housing the shifter and black switchgear, all in
very nice condition with the handbrake handle the only piece
showing some age. Gray carpet covers the floor and cargo area, the
T-tops are tinted and come with the GM covers for stowage.
Drivetrain
The clean engine bay holds a 5.0 liter V8, fuel injected and
capable of 205 horsepower. It's mated to a 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission with power finding the 10 bolt rear axle and a
consignor stated 3.73 gears and Positraction. The car's RPO codes
shows 2.73 gears.
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with a new exhaust system, a single unit
that finds a Dynomax muffler in back emitting two tailpipes, each
retaining the Dynomax label. Power brakes are divided as front disc
and rear drum and coil springs are found at both ends with a torque
arm in back.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up and delivers a solid F-body ride that includes
straight tracking, good power, and predictable handling. It also
has a comfortable sitting position and a simple, analogue interior.
The A/C is not working but all other functions work as they should
in this little piece of heaven from eighty seven! While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
This was the car to have back in the day and nearly 40,000 owners
took one home. The name Z28 is synonymous with coolness and
performance and adding IROC brought it up another notch. IROC
Heritage events are up and running, harkening back to the glory
days of racing that inspired this popular American Camaro.
