- Anyone that would like to see what happened to this car after I sold it should visit www.thirdgen(dot)org. Go to the message boards and do a search for "4.3 mile IROC-Z". There are informative comments along with videos and pictures of the car cleaned up and running. All the people that have commented how much work would be needed to clean it up and get it running are proved wrong. The car was sold by that owner over a year ago at a Mecum auction for $27K and has yet to surface again.

This deserves to be in a museum what a movie icon of the 80's era
This car needs to go to a museum of automobiles without question, a very fine example of preserving an original masterpiece.
I was a mechanic at a Chevrolet dealer's garage during the time this car came out. All of us in the shop got to check in new cars and prep them for sell. The IROC's paid more because there was more to getting them ready. At 7:29 minutes the man talking says he doesn't know why the passenger side doesn't have plastic on it. The drivers side has plastic on it to protect it from getting dirt or grease on the interior panel between the factory and the dealer. The passenger side didn't require any plastic. I got to check in a 1987 Buick GNX also. The best part was taking those cars for a test drive to make sure everything was working as it should.
Still one of the best car videos on UA-cam...never gets old
I've never wanted to wash a car so bad in my life lol.
Agreed
Hahaha, i was thinking the same thing!
I was hoping they would wash it.
What no rims
That Chicago Guy lmao
I had one same year. Sick fuckin car. Til I partied one night and totaled it. Yes, I am a dumbshit. Now I drive a fuckin mini-van.
Hey man you win some you lose some. You'll win again one day.
+Phillip Exeterblue I killed a Camaro, too. They have hard lives.
LOL
I'm in a van now to. I wrecked my 1984 Camero
Karma
Gotta love a speedometer that only goes to 80.
"Sir do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
"80?"
hahah..lol
Good thing it won't hit 88mph and go Back in Time...😆
😂😂😂
@@kenji_Noir lol
It goes to 85. Heh Heh... I have had a bunch of these cars.
I had an '86 in highschool back in the mid-late 90's. Always loved these. This is amazing.
This video is over 10 years old. Thanks UA-cam 😂
Edit: Thanks for the likes guys!
And the car is still new....
Weird algos
thanks for what? is this your vid or car?
Greg Williams no I thanking the people for the likes on my comment!!
@@nikorimac3094 edit: nobody cares.
I had a 89' back in the day. The year I graduated. Mine had cross fire FI, It was pretty fast. Memories... Man time Flys! The good old days what I would do to go back
im looking for a time machine to back to 80,s Mike n if i find one ill bring u along also and we can have a blast.id have my great physique back along with the broads,money and great times
I remember when I picked up my brand new 1985 IROC, of course it was at the dealer and clean and shiny. :)
What color? I'm guessing Green
@@Forgemno in '85 they only came in red, white, yellow, black and bright blue metallic. Mine was bright blue.
Great in the snow, hung out with some guys that always showed up when it snowed. We had a huge parking lot to play in, and the cops didn't care! I had a second gen, but the IROC was just a crazy donut and drift car in snow!
It's missing the factory gold chain that came with it.
Lmfaoo and the tank top with a mullet
+jose miranda Sinatra? You mean Loverboy!
+iTheGeek HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Great point.
It's missing the AC/DC back in black cassette tape and my 15 year old 1985 ass in the seat.
That's every car enthusiast's dream. This is the first case I've come across where the vehicle still has the factory wrapper,writtings,price tag, etc. This trailer find is just amazing, my question is, how did it end up in the trailer and so as the plymouth?
This is truly an amazing thing to find a piece of history in the back of a trailer
Many haters of these third gen cars..Personally, I love them.
Everyone else should think like you?
A friend of mine bought one just like this in 1984. I remember going to the dealership with him to pick it up. It was also a 5 speed. It was a great car. But he could never beat me in my 1975 Hurst Trans Am :) What a great find. Thanks
+MrTropics64 your 75 also had a small block 400
You are correct:)
MrTropics64 That’s because it was a TA. I’m still sad they are no more. I know you can buy an after market one but it’s not the same...
@@jmit3491 I'm glad you knew that it's funny people calling there Pontiac a big or small block..I just love and miss them
@@betosgarage As far as I know all Pontiac engines was the same block just used different bore and stroke and deck size
Wonder if it has that new old car smell.
+DYNO DON
My thoughts as well. GM cars of the era had a somewhat unique smell
It does
hakim farhat m. Mhm Hyde
DYNO DON watch the where is it now video to find out
smells like a damp rug, Any car that sits like that is fucked, All the seals rubber everything is gone.
That is one 80's camaro I would love to own.
(82-92 is third generation)
Imagine a Camaro selling loaded for that price today. Dealers couldn't keep them on the lot long enough lol. And that's the problem today's cars are far from reach for the average worker.
So true.
Correct
That's $40K in today's money. You can get a new Camaro for that.
You do realize $16,000 in 1985 was equivalent to $40,000 today, right?
@@scottsmith31 true. 16k in the 80's was more achievable. 40k today when most people are making 80's salary is far from their reach.
Recorded with a 24 year old video camera for authenticity
This video is about 10 years old. UA-cam started about 10 years ago. When UA-cam first started they were only 240! Then a bit later 360 came along. Then 480 we got. Then we got 720 later, and the list goes on. So, actually, it was probably uploaded with the highest quality video UA-cam accepted at the time.
1969L78Nova It wasn't even the camera... Is was the date / time. UA-cam didn't even have HD video upload capabilities at time of this video posters upload.
Earthling1984 youtube is 12 years old dumb bitch so you are saying if they upload the video all over again its going to work on 1080p
Earthling1984 its the camera
Earthling1984 didnt expect to see you on a car video. Love ur hedgie vids man!
How is the finder of this Z not acting like a fan-man ("fan girl"). This automobile is absolutely a beautiful find. Still wrapped, 4 miles! Hot dam I would have been ecstatic ear to ear smile. I would keep it as is and that would be my ride or die babe. Till the end. Awesome find to whomever found this.
3:15 They just don't make...... window stickers like that anymore 😂😂😂
So that car has been sitting just as long as the roadrunner in front of it! I think the real story is the road runner!
Definitely. the roadrunner is worth a lot more.
My uncle got a 69 Plymouth roadrunner with the hemi
@@kairiluv8005 I'm sure he did
I wanted to see the roadrunner
@David Mc I know that blue is definitely big on road runners and S Birds, it may have been available on the GTX too, but it definitely has the roadrunner trunk stripe
12 to 15 years old car standing in the same place, the air pressure in the Tyre is perfect not even close to flat.
Well now wait a second, if this car has been untouched and it's still in pristine, ''new'' condition... Why does it not have factory wheels? Something seems fishy. I come from a big Chevrolet family, I had some of my kin take a look, and they all agree. We know a lot about Chevrolet and reading the comments you do as well. It makes me proud seeing so many fellow Chevrolet brothers and sisters on UA-cam. My grandfather owned Novas, my dad owned these, and of course me being the new, younger generation took a liking to... the Corvette. I love Corvette's so much I even made a song about one. Could you please take a listen and help a young kid out? If you liked the song come back and like this comment so everyone knows it was worth the short listen!
I think it has the factory roller wheels. They would get replaced at the dealer maybe.
here is your answer! "
My buddy Jason at Katech turned me on to this incredible find. A brand new 1985 Camaro IROC was purchased right off the delivery truck from the factory and put into storage for 24 years.
The wheels were to be swapped with with aftermarket but the owner never got around to it. Ah... If I didn't already have 2 vettes, a supercharged SS Silverado, a chopper and my restored '89..."
Jeff Hanshew the original wheels was sold to help start the build. The car was bought with the sole purpose of making a streetrod www.thirdgen.org type in the search 4.3 mile iroc
do you know why? because the guy who bought it he bought it for to get the rims and leave the car there he didnt want the car he wanted the rims he switched them with those :P
SgtBlackburn5 This car clearly was never put up for sale, dealer I imagine would've installed the correct ones.
1st time i EVER heard one of that gen open the door and it NOT squeak & not rattle when the door shut bc of the weight of the door opening and closing. The inside is the best I've ever seen inside one of them except when it was replaced. Awesome gem!!
I can't remember whether it was Motor Trend or Car & Driver but I read an article about this thing, years ago. Amazing how it was just frozen in time for decades.
Honestly if I'd of owned it I would have cleaned it up and got it back mint and then drove it every single day thereafter.I hate guys who buy cars for their low miles just so they can stare at them all day everyday.Cars are meant to be driven,I understand how you would feel quilty putting miles on a car with so little on it but I'd feel even more quilty for not letting it soak up those miles like it was intended to do.
MrSteveo114 yup, yup, your mind set is gold
Alvaro Lopez don't get me wrong I understand the mindset these people have but its just not something I could do personally.For me a car is meant to be driven,that tachometer was put in that car to go up and not sit still.
I purchased a Toyota Chaser from Japan awhile back with only 34,000km on the clock.So many people were telling me not to drive it because of the low miles and its unbelievable clean condition.I just laughed and said"care and attention is all this car needs to remain flawless and that's exactly what I'll give it"
Well it just clicked over to 250,000km's the other day and it still runs perfect and looks better than it ever did before!People tend to forget that a mint car can always be a mint car if only you are willing to keep it that way,keeping a car mint doesn't require parking it in a heated garage all day and never driving it.
There's nothing sadder to me than seeing a car not driven.
You all are wrong! A "barn - find" in this condition is far more VALUABLE, than a same make / model / year car restored! Like, 2 -3 TIMES MORE valuable.
Robert Schreiber pipe the fuck down will ya,we're not talking about value here we're talking about how it's a shame to not drive a car simply because it has low miles.A car is meant to be driven it's that simple,if you want something pretty to look at then buy a fucking painting.
LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN! LET'S GIVE A GREAT ROUND OF APPLAUSE, TO SUCH A FINE JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MRSTEVEO114, HASN'T A SINGLE CLUE! FORGIVE HIM. HE'S ONLY STUPID. AND, WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT.......... BUY A PAINTING? WHAT IS THIS? A 1985 MODEL CAR, WITH 5 MILES ON IT! REALLY, MRSTEVEO114?

@@Jake_Hynds what u talk bout. I've done 130mph in an IROC in late 80s was a factory race car.
I had exact same one in collage white and gold with gold wheels .. Loved that car favorite thing was there was a light bulb in the engine bay you unscrew it and it had 5 feet of extra wire so you can use it anywhere on that engine
If you were in college, then you should have learned to spell college - not collage!
@@beatsworking1525 lmfao
Wow, all the hateful comments and downing of this amazing find. For those who claim 'a modern Kia could outrun it', I have to be one old enough to remember when these were the 'style', and I hate to break it to you kids, but one of the first things many did was pull that 275-hp 305 and drop in 400+ 'replacements' with a Borg-Warner T10. These cars were low 15's stock, the 5-speeds could get into the high 14's, and I don't know a Kia yet that can do this for $16k and with a clean-up 30 years later, turn $27k at a Meccam's Auction with a minimal clean-up investment. FYI, the 64-1/2 Mustangs were almost all 6-cylinder 'economy' cars, too - they were (and are) STILL an investment. Go play with your 'good-for-one-year' iPhone version whatever.
a borg warner 4 speed huh, i love you jackoffs that talk about cars after you read a few magazines, where did you get that trans, and very few used the 400 because it was junk, i should stay away from these comments, i know 8 yr old kids that know more than most of the morons wannabes
I know Kia Soul that can smoke this
Skeeter Saurus The Kia stinger would destroy this car
Dude the Kia Optima does the 1/4 mile in 14.9
The cadenza does it in 14.1
The fucking forte does it on 15.4!
The Sedona freaking van does it in 15.5
And the Kia stinger does ot in 13.2.
You sir have to he rather embaressed.
Dude its not hate..... Just facts. I didn't make that Camaro slow ass hell.... I guess you wanted lies. So ok Damn!! That's a IROC Z. IT HAS 850 HP
With an "Eyebrow" Raising 190HP
That was the technology back then
@@salcandela9502 And the emission limits. Older LT1 had ~350HP.
What!?!?!?!! Very cool. Now I feel like watching reruns of “Miami Vice”. You be Crockett and I’ll be Tubbs.
my dad had an 89 iroc, until i came along
Andy P hahahahah
jonny k yep you made him upgrade to a caravan
Time Machine Toy Show never had a caravan. trucks there big guy
jonny k suburbans right
jonny k my step father still has his with 63 thousand miles original on it jet black
that car will be worth a lot of money 31 years ago.
chieftp worth double the sticker of then
Time Machine Toy Show
if it sold for that. did it?
28 grand at auction
chieftp It would be worth way more money now...JS
adjust for inflation and it would have been about $37,000 now
God damn a iroc in that shape is gotta be worth $700, maybe $800. Them some lucky boys.
Sold for 27k @ auction
@Steve Campbell take a look at their horrible hp/liter, they lacked power, that generation is probably the Camaro's worst
@@TheJerrydon575 how much did they pay? If thats all they paid 4 that car, they basically stole that car if it was almost never ran. What a lucky SOB!!!
David Troia I would rather have that roadrunner myself tho
I'd be worried about cussing the name of God!
I worked in the new car dept as a tech prepping and checking the new cars as they came from the factory at a chevy dealership in costa mesa ca the year that these first came out.... So for me to see one again after all these years with the sticker etc still on it is really a trip... When the very first few of the IROC's started coming in they all had some issue that made the check engine light be on/stay on... Its been a long time since then and I don't recall all the details exactly but as I recall it was a known issue on all of them but was deemed not a real problem. more of a malfunction in the check engine light itself. An official service bulletin had not been put out yet on how to correct it but there were people who had already bought and paid for there cars and wanted them.. So, and I don't know if this happened at all dealerships or only at the one I worked at but the order came down for me to just disconnect the check engine light and sign off on the cars and let them go... I can understand the logic there at least how it was presented to me at that time but still it was my name and word on that paperwork and I did not like at all being forced to say everything was fine with a vehicle when I knew there was some issue and was told to hide it.... Very shortly after that or perhaps at the same time myself and my dirrect boss and another coworker were all talking as another tech was prepping a new pickup when all of us heard something hit the funnel as some oil was being put in. the tech actually working on it saw it was a small nut but was not quick enough to do anything and it went into the engine... We all tried trying to see it in there and the tech who's job it was tried like heck to fish it out with a magnate but nothing worked.. the sales manager came back saying the guy who bought it and was waiting was a real prick and pitching a bitch so the call was made to just let him take it and deal with any issues in warranty if problems arose... You know, I can then and now see the logic in those calls. But my word means something to me and I just could not live with being forced to do things I thought not right so I quit that job, partly over those IROC's..... Seeing this brings that all back up... Really my only point here is i sure wonder if when they get it started if that check engine light is going to be stuck on or not..... Im not really sure what the first year was and maybe this is later so it would not apply... but a bit of inside trivia for anyone interested anyways..... I know and see all the time a 69 shelby gt350 thats been burried in a garage for over 20 years and looks all orig and flawless under all the dust... I hope I get to post a video of it one day if i ever talk the guy into pulling it out....
You are so nice sincere person,telling the truth is gods love people like u,hopefully u doing well and succes whatever in ur lifes,im from malaysia.a wise men lovers
Just gonna ignore the Plymouth in front of the chevy?
fake
right wtf first thing in noticed
+Kd Grayson or the mix match snow rear tread, wheels and tires. but that's what I thought to.
+BigJayBe Classic dime holding up a dollar. The 1970 Cuda is worth five to six time the Z28. He chose poorly.
right! that's what I said!
Where's the big excitement ? The guys voice was like "meh, brand new...so what".
Hey!! I like this car! It's from 1985,when I was 17 and high school! Let me relive! Those memories!! It's been 34 years now! A looking time ago!!! Now is It here 51..My GOD!
I'm collecting dust too right now, in my recliner chair
if that was me looking at the car I would be squealing like a happy pig. That was a time capsule at its best.
Lol 😂
Should have contacted GM to see if they wanted it for the museum! They probably would have paid good coin for it too.
T-Tops (They all leaked) manual trans and the upgraded interior! I had an 89. Loved that rattle box. Flexed like crazy, the car would literally twist when you floored it. Fun cars, would love to have one in pristine condition. 15 second car.
I just bought an '85 Firebird today. It is crazy how similar these 2 cars are. Basically the same thing with a different badge, and different bumpers.
Ok i finally clicked this video over years.
makes me sad to know that this car will probably never be driven, cars don't like to sit around they like to drive
Black, T-tops, 5spd......and BAM the base LG4 :/ Like meeting the "Perfect girl" and finding out she has 5 kids
To my knowledge this had the LB9 I think it was called. The LG4 was an earlier motor. Btw to the 305's defense when modified it reaches the same hp/L as a modified 350 so then it becomes more of a matter of more displacement.
Dude i got cold chills when you opened that door
well, you have to open the door at some point.
sweet 70 Roadrunner sitting in front of the Camaro as well
Thank you, I was trying to figure out what the other car was.
why are you touching the car with all of the dust over it scratching the sht out of it
Haha see more of these on the road still than the fall apart fox body's
@Joel Osteen you prlly drive a fucking Kia
Relax, it's only a rattle box 80's camaro
An amazing find. Thats a true time machine immediately jumping you back 34 years! Incredible.
He’s got the Title, yeah Right. Lmao
Does it still have the new car smell??
to bad it's an 80's "Muscle Car". Would have been sick it were a late 60's or early 70's Muscle car. Either way pretty cool find.
There's a '70 Roadrunner in the trailer also.
Buick Bubba I noticed that
probably needs a new paint job
Buick Bubba I was just about to post about that. I think that's even more remarkable. If the IROC has been there that long, the Roadrunner has got to be in pretty amazing shape too.
You realize after all the safety laws in about 92 (the last year of this generation camaro) they made a 25th anniversary edition with a 350 and the z/28s deducted a bunch of weight yet added parts. They are actually mean little cars. Stock they run a 1/4 mile in late 14 seconds
Legend has it that the car is still dusty
Made me nostalgic for the 86 IROC I had back in 89 until I remembered how many T-5s I broke and, why I nicknamed it "Flexible Flyer". With the factory T Tops, if you didn't install subframe connectors, if you took a sharp corner, you could actually watch the dash twist....
I would just take the gauge cluster out and disconnect the speedometer. Fix the car and drive it. Forever having 4.3 miles :)
Vehicle speed sensor would not let car run very good, or very long. ECM needs speed info.
not on a car this old. computer has nothing to do with the speedometer on this year camaro.
malthof200 not anything prior 91
If im not mistaken i believe the 92 camaros were still able to do this. any other cars im not sure of but i had a 92 Camaro and it has a cable driven speedometer i think. not sure.
James Nicholson wrong. 92 is electric
I can almost hear a "Kool & the Gang" cassette tape playing on the stereo !
You mean journey
very nice find and a very beautiful ride
Man brings back memories!!
Who stores a modern car minutes after purchase? Thieves?
I once did a safety inspection on a Hemi Super Bee with the original oil filter. I was afraid to touch it!
Collectors. Similar to vintage toys in the package.
@victorgonzalez97 my guess is a rich guy with a lot of property didn't want wifey to know, the car didn't get delivered due to a mistake in bill of laden or thieves
@victorgonzalez97 right. I love Monte Carlo s. I got an 88 ls I'm building a 350 for.
@victorgonzalez97 okay! My stepdad had ordered an Iroc in 88. But when he came from overseas they didn't have the blinds on the back window he ordered. Wound up with a Cougar. It was okay. The Iroc, he'd probably STILL have. My Monte is like the one in the Str8 outta Compton movie. Thanks for the kind words.
The thing that sucks is I couldn't use the cassette player since my music collection is on 8 track tapes. 😞
When that car came out i wanted one so bad it hurt . My rich Uncle bought both my girl cousins brand new Irocs we all went to the same high school i drove a old mazda pickup i found in a backyard . The day they got em both of them bitched and cried literally tears because they weren't the right color no joke . I realized at that moment rich kids suck I bought a used one years later It took me years to rebuild it , wile i worked at a sawmill all week and fought MMA in casinos on weekends . It wasn't as nice as theres but knowing how hard i worked and the pain and hard times i went thru to earn it every drive was nothing but pure happyness and pride . Just recently i had to sale my GSXR 1000 I rebuilt . It was my baby but a family member got seriously sick so i sold it . I live 30 minutes past Seattle and im trying to find a good deal on another sport bike now ive done it before ill do it again . Its awsome to see someone finding a treasure like this congrats fellas.
Increíble video, que lástima ver esos autos que no fueron parte de ningún " carrete " juvenil, saludos desde Chile.
I've always been curious - how do you sell something from a "barn find?" Is the barn property yours? If not, how do you claim it? What if the original owner is dead?
if you buy the property say from a deceased estate and it has a shed/barn on it and the seller (relatives/bank/government) do not clear out what is in there, its legally yours since it is considered "abandoned property".
If its something with traceable tags like a car, probably best run the vin through to the police to make sure its not stolen before you try and sell it.
001Andrew100
The thing is...if the car was stollen on the way to dealer?
CapitainJack0502 it would be highly unlikely but still, tracing the vin number will show if its ever been recorded as stolen.
depending on the state if a car sits on your land for long enough u can file for a title registered owner then has like 90 days to remove it or its yours
MultiMe1990
okay, so what happens if it's NOT on your land? for example, there's an abandoned house near my gf's house. sitting in the front lawn is a red trans am that is unlocked. it's in pretty rough shape. if i wanted to claim it, how would i do it?
For the rocky loving Italian in all of us
It's not red...
ADRIAAAAAAAAN!!!
This is like having a dream of finding an untouched old car. Except it's in real life
This is a Chicago car based on '85 bears. U r very fortunate immaculate too. Congratulations bro.
Opens the trunk
*Jimmy Hoffa's skeleton*
“Does this come with the car?”
“If so, I’ll take it.”
There isn't room in the trunk for a body 🤣
Joseph Beall Not with that attitude.
Hoffa disappeared in 1975... Are you suggesting that someone waited 10 years for an 85 Iroc to be built as his hiding place? That would be extra weird...
Curt Shaw *Whoosh*
i'm betting the dealership was in troubled times, and a few nice inventory pieces
conveniently disappeared. afterall, it came from a NJ dealership out near the horse race track
HUAU che bella macchina è veramente bella . Congratulation . Nice fast and fast
I had a 1987 IROC fully loaded was my first car :-) good video guys I wish you were just a little more knowledgeable about the car and actually talked instead of just mumbling.
Screw the 'maro. I want the 70 Plymouth that was in the front
yes why does the fuck they left it??!!!?!?!
*****
where do you see it ??
how come the blue car in front of it is clean with no dust ?
John Branski,
the answer to your question is quite simple, the dust was on the car before it was put in the container. You don't get dust in a sealed container.
XE521 well a semi trailer isnt exactly airtight, but i guess that does make sense. Especially considering the changed tires and the hand prints and such even though we didnt see anyone touch the car. I never thought about the possibility of it being dusty already
This is like stepping back in time
I am so happy for you dude, I wish I had that thing!!
So what happen to the IROC FACTORY RIMS
And tires! Same thing I was wondering!
If you notice the car was very low in the back of a trailer so I'm quite sure all 4 tires were flat so they replaced them with 4 tires so they can move the vehicle out the truck.
@@Scott-px6mi How is anyone going to fit in there to remove and replace the wheels? There's no room. They drug it out with a winch, anyhow. They could do that even if it had flat tires.
You didn’t see them on the flatbed? They were at the front of the flatbed by the wench.
I'm way more interested in the story of how and why it ended up getting put away like that.
It didn't even have the dealer prep work done to it, as the front air dam is still in its packaging and the plastic wrap is everywhere, and it wasn't a rare or special enough model at the time for anyone (sane) to want to preserve like that either. And what happened to the original wheels?
Still, its a great find and a piece of history.
Awesome. I had a 87 350 tpi i lovd it
7:30 factories usually dont put protective wrapping on the passenger side because most of the inspections are done on the drivers side, the wrapping is there mainly to keep the factory workers footprints out of the carpet and to keep them from scratching something while working.
Edit: so I literally watched the PowerNation video right after this one about this car, and they basically said everything I just did. Oh well.
It funny how this cars interior is so much like the 85 Fiero GT
Thats pretty damn cool. I'd love a find like that. Driving anything that old the way it came right off the showroom floor would be awesome no matter what car. But a manual Z28 is just an awesome find. Any video's of this thing cleaned up with some new wheels?

Here’s that vid you wanted
Lol loving all the comments from the kids who where only there in tad pole form! How do y’all remember that I can’t remember last week?
Your low enthusiasm is Killin me!!!
Nice find, hope the mice didn't due to much damaged now. Needs a new hood liner that I seen. My concerns would be interior.
The interior was flawless, absolutely zero rodents and the car still smelled new. . I’m the guy who personally detailed that car for months before sending it to auction where it now resides in a museum by the new owner. Was an amazing experience bringing that car back to its original factory, showroom shine. Oh the amazing memories I have of that car. Will miss it dearly.
@@RTXti-ld7dx Yo I came here from the Corvette video and I saw your comment there about this car. It's an awesome find and I am glad I watched this video and the new one where it's being detailed. There are lots of cars locked in garages or sitting in yards that we don't know about and it's amazing when they are being found.
Brand new car with those wheels and tires?? The tires aren't even the same all around
the guy that purchase this was going to turn it into a street rod ...he sold the tires to contribute to the project that never happened
it amazes me how many people point out the tires....anybody read the other posts?
Randel Dumas I c. Look suspect
Wrong! Chevy shipped these with steelies because customers had the option to choose a la carte wheel options that the dealer would install before handing it over to customer.

Those rims and tires were put on before storing. There’s zero chance those wheels came on that car from the factory. No sense letting the car sit on the original rubber.
That was awesome! I wish i could find a Cadillac Deville 1977 in this condition. :(
In 1987 I had to decide between a Mustang GT 5.0 or an IROC--Z with Corvette engine. Road and Track magazine tested them together and they got virtually identical 1/4 mile times. The IROC was slightly lower and wider so it got better times in the slolom. This car would have the high output Corvette engine in it. In 1987 they sold for about 18,000 depending on options.
I ordered a new 5.7 in late '86, got it in March of '87. It stickered at $19,993.00.
I still have the original order form and window sticker.
I was REALLY LUCKY in high school I see now better! I had a Black/Gold trim 85' IROC-Z!! It was In perfect shape! Bought it off the lot at a small local dodge dealership in 1992 for I believe $5,800! Flawless shape with the good 16'' rims, T-tops, and I had a pussy magnet installed (not really but kinda lol)! Had no troubles going thru girls. SHIIIT now I'm gonna have to start shopping for one again! It was real fast! I moved fro iowa to cali when I was 18yrs old not knowing a single person there! Once I got there I traded for a PERFECT midnight smoke green Mustang 5.0 gt hatchback! I'm NOT a ford fan whatsoever but I had always wanted one! Mustang "felt quicker" when driving... But hands down my iroc wudda walked it!! Now Im older and have totally redone an 80' Malibu! Sleeper look but fun to mess with young kids in dad's car! They never expect what happens when they pull up and say green let's go!! awwhhh to go back to the high school days!! Best Days of ANYONES life! To bad we never believed that when we were that age huh?!?! bEe--
Was unaware that they came equipped with snow tires.
I would pamper that car and drive it as it was found. Wouldn't mod it or change anything about it, call me boring but I just love cars out of the box in stock format. Great find friend and thank you for documenting it!
I doubt that I would even drive it. Just pull it out in the driveway, wash and polish it then cover it back up. Just a cool car to show to friends and sit in it and admire. Leave the plastic on everything too
@@trulymeparker yeah it would make a great conversation piece. Would've been nice to see the GM heritage collection purchase it.
Brings back a lot of memories my ex wife had a 84 ZF Camaro that was our “family “ car for a few years unfortunately that car was all show and no go with just a 6 cylinder under the hood although it is still the only Camaro to come with a Sunroof as standard although it really was just a pop out sunroof installed by a aftermarket company for Chevy that company also did some interior upgrades and some Decals exclusively for the ZF package
