Vehicle Description
We're starting see a few of our favorite time capsules escape from
their garages, and this 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z/28 is a prime
example. With amazing metallic red paint, T-tops, a loaded A/C
interior, and the ultra-desirable fuel-injected V8 shared with the
Corvette, this is a mean machine that at 39,235 miles, it has
barely averaged 1,300 miles a year. So you know slipping behind the
wheel feels like 1987 all over again.
The IROC-Zs are truly stunning machines, and this one is at the top
of that class. The factory-correct Dark Red Metallic paint is
mostly original, with just a little help making sure the front
bumper makes its best first impression. Keep that in mind as you
look at how the light evenly radiates off the red - that's the
level of care that has been put into this car for three decades.
But desirability goes far beyond preservation. Chevy knew how to
dress its most aggressive Camaro correctly. The full body kit, hood
louvers, rear spoiler, and 16-inch IROC-Z alloys are all part of a
planned attack as the top V8 Camaro was out to re-take the streets
back from the 5.0 Mustangs.
Inside is a black interior with gray accents that is exceptionally
preserved as well, and the conservative colors still have modern
appeal. You'll love the factory pattern on the high-back bucket
seats, and they have been so well preserved there isn't even a
letter out of place on the "Camaro" stitched into the stylized
pattern. The factory three-spoke wheel has been specifically
developed for comfortable hand positioning while still getting a
clear view at the full gauge package. Like any good IROC-Z, this
one came loaded with a power driver's seat, power windows, power
locks, tilt steering, electric rear window defogger, cruise
control, and power steering. The AM/FM/cassette radio is the one
straight from the Norwood, Ohio factory in 1987 (of course, there
are plenty of ways to adapt this for modern music without ruining
the unit.) Starting to get the picture? This interior is original
and honest right down to the included storage bags for the T-top
glass. The only part that's not from the factory...the upgrade on
the air conditioning to modern R134a. This is to ensure you can
continue to feel cool while you look cool with the T-tops off.
While the interior and exterior have felt like time capsules, they
have nothing on the engine bay. The pristine level of preservation
under the hood is another sign of the kind of care you want in a
classic that you will cherish. It will fill you with pride as you
open the hood at events, and this is the exact kind of motor you're
going to be showing off. This is the optional 350 cubic-inch L98
fuel-injected V8 at was shared with the Corvette program. 1987 is a
pivotal year because it's the first time the motor became
available, and not every IROC-Z got this upgrade. So to have the
numbers-matching V8 still under the hood, and with such low
mileage, means you're looking at a true Camaro of distinction. But
as much as you might want to store this coupe away like precious
metal, we don't want you to miss out on all the fun. This car has
all the right upgrades like a factory sport-tuned suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes, and the grip of modern BF Goodrich gForce
Super Sport tires. You even have the 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission, which was the only gearbox stout enough to take on
the L98, and it also offers overdrive comfort.
This amazing IROC comes with the owner's manual and a copy of the
window sticker so you can go over all the features of this
exceptionally preserved classic. The Camaro you always wanted is
available right now, but since the price is so reasonable, you
should probably hurry before someone else with the same dream grabs
your Z. Call now!!
