Wow!! I can't believe I found this car!! I'm the guy who made this car look brand new!! I spent, many, many MANY weeks cleaning this car to ultimate perfection since it was first sold out of the trailer. My former boss bought it off eBay, then I volenterred to clean it up. It was an amazing experience dealing with a car that old, and making it look new again. I got to see the car start for the first time in over 20 plus years as well as taking it to many car shows!! I sure do miss that car!! Even though I never owned it, it was "My baby" for a year or so before I sold it at auction. Thank you for posting this video so I could see the car again, and I'm glad your not going to drive it!! Last time I seen it, had around 5 miles on it. Less then 10 is still awesome!
How much did it sell for?
+Jason Macneil what are you talking about its possible he is full of Shit but the time does add up
I used to work at a Chevy dealer when those were new. I felt like I was 18 again looking at these videos.
Stunning!
+Dean Uanno It sold for $26,000 I believe.
+Matthew Hodges Try 30 years.....The car is 30 years old. Not 20, so the time doesn't add up at all.
Imagine finding a never driven 2019 chevy spark 24 years later in a trailer ............close trailer doors and walk away.
Sets trailer on fire so no one else is disappointed.
Ed Mak yeah I’d probably back it right out off the ledge off-road the piss out of it and drive it into a lake.
Who cares about 2019.
LMAO so true
Been a tech at a Chevy dealership for years. GM is making garbage power train wise. 2016 and up spark with a manual 5 speed is more reliable than anything else they make right now. Yeah it’s sad but true.
Such a great story!!! My IROC just rolled over to 56K original miles this week. This was such a cool find to be stored for so long in a trailer. Glad he isn't driving it, and appreciates how special that car is to IROC enthusiasts!
I’m the original owner of a 1988 Camaro IROCZ with 38,900 actual miles and it still runs & looks like new!!!!!! I TOTALLY ❤LOVE IT!!!!!!!
This is without question THE BEST Camaro IROC in the entire world. I seriously doubt that you will find a better Camaro IROC anywhere in America or the rest of the world. This car is literally fresh off the assembly line. It has never been driven or raced. It has never seen an accident, rain or any type of bad weather. It's never been dented or even scratched. This Camaro is truly a GEM FIND. You can only imagine what the value of this car is, what it can be sold for and what people would be willing to pay for it. I wouldn't be surprised if this car could be sold for 1 MILLION dollars. A true car collector knows what a rare gem this car is. The only other place you might find one in this new condition is if Chevy themselves have one tucked away somewhere in one of their museums or something which I doubt. This car is the best IROC!
Why don't any of the automakers ever reintroduce older bodystyle cars? Put a modern engine and suspension but keeping the exact old bodystyle? Why not?
Imgonnagogetthepapers getthepapers Safety Regulations, Red tape, etc. too much BG govt.
Imgonnagogetthepapers getthepapers you see the influence everywhere starting with the 300 but the new Challengers and Chargers completely have the older influence!

Because they'd rather make cars out of plastic 😂
your right
It never got the chance to have an ashtray full of Virginia slim butts and an empty can of aqua net rolling around on the back floorboard😢so sad. If you need some Mötley Crüe or White Snake cassettes let me know, I have extras.
So funny, had a 87,iroc, listened to all that music, small mullet. But when you mention the aqua net. Couldn't stop laughing. Girlfriend use to put so much on her hair would break.
Goddamn my dad was an 80s guy with a Datsun. He still smokes those Virginia slims
I believe this car was probably stolen off of a lot and put into a trailer and and they never went back and got it and it probably was never reported stolen because it was never registered
+Terrell Mayfield
That makes sense.
actually wasn't if you looked at the video
Why say that
+Terrell Mayfield the first video 6 years ago. a old guy bought it off the factory and they got the keys from him
Even if it was stolen he would still have the original keys because the keys are in the cars the majority of the time especially if it was never delivered to a dealership if he bought the car the dealership would have most certainly remove the plastic from the seats and installed the chin spoiler like I said the car probably was sitting in a back lot waiting to be delivered to a dealership and someone stole it sold the wheels off of it and never went back to get the rest of the car
I bought a new black 89 IROC-Z w/factory stripe delete , garaged it in 91 on jacketstands, taught myself how to polish aluminum with supplies from Eastwood Restoration, and spent 3 years detailing it. Edlebrock Jet Hot ceramic Tri-Y headers, stainless cat-backs. Over the next 3 years, did a bunch of car shows, took home 1st place trophies for Street Class. Sold it at 8 years old with a little over 13,000 miles on the odometer for almost as much as I paid for (not counting finance charges). Wish I had kept it. Good memories.
it's not a real iroc unless there is a gram of cocaine in the glove box
Lol, don't forget a mullet, rolling papers everywhere and a blonde in the passenger seat
Marlboro Reds also help authenticate it.
It's true. Ralph Nader made cocaine mandatory for all 80's camaros so that teenagers could stay alert while drinking and driving. My dad still has my gram in its original factory plastic.
lol.. throw a def leppard cassette tape in the cassette player
Hell yea a pack of Marlboro a AcDc cassette banging some hells bells a pair or top gun aviators and a greasy Billy Ray Cyrus rat tail blowin in the wind... shiiiitttt got more snatch than a tow truck!! loved the 80s..
Ok, the car is perfect! , but who is “the guy” that bought it and never drove it and put it in a container, or was it stolen!
well maybe it "fell off the truck"..... lol
Did that car ever make it to a dealer?
No the car never made it to the dealer
Leakage as they call it
Unbelievably Flawless 5-speed! My 1986 IROC came with almost 13 miles on it. What a find, Congratulations!
built in Norwood assembly plant 5 mins from my house!!! I remember watching trucks leaving the plant
Drive the freaking thing.
That Camaro is dying to be driving
tom11zz884 hell no why would u? This thing is so rare
I agree with you Tom! Drive the damn thing. You only live once!
This car is much more important in it's present state. There are tons of IROC camaros to be had to drive around without disturbing an exact frame of time in automotive history. Drive it and destroy the story
Why don't they just literally bubble wrap the whole car and put in a vacuum sealed giant plastic bag and call it a day. For crying out loud, it's a freaking car!
@@JohnFlores04 Not anymore. If it wasn't LITERALLY unrestored, non-sun bleached with the new car smell of the 80s with the original plastic and all the production chalk on it, it absolutely would be "just another car". Once it's driven, it will NEVER be "pre-sale" new again. This is almost a Smithsonian museum situation because THIS just doesn't happen, and it will never happen again, especially to a highly desirable car like this one. You can't re-create this situation buying a new car off a showroom floor...
I hope he has a son that pulls a ferris Bueller‘s Day off!
Hell Yeah. Burn the tires off the rims.
At least let 2 valet workers enjoy it for a few hours! Haha

"Relax, I'm a professional...."
@@fredfinizzi It's an IROC, not an IROQ. What are you, French?
Best comment yet!
I guess I'm one of the few that understand what this guy is trying to do to preserve the Time Capsule and what makes this car special. The older that car gets without being touched the more is going to be worth and it will probably go through the roof. It's probably an investment it's a time capsule it's an oddity and it's very collectible just as it sits
Beautiful car. It's a shame it'll never be driven. People just don't appreciate the fact that it's a car, meant to be driven.
Daniel Barton 👍
@brennan Clark first off, the only fucktard here is you for labeling anyone with a different opinion. Second, it's an 80's version of a muscle car, it's not a rare exotic like a 1930's era Audi or Ferrari. Having said that, it should still be driven. It's not a painting or a sculpture. It's a classic car, enjoy it. But it's painfully obvious to everyone that you never would know. So enjoy that stick up your ass and fuck right off.
@brennan Clark those 80's era cars will never have the appeal as cars from the much older era's. I see you're still being a dumbass, must be genetic. Enjoy.
Well said and you're absolutely right it is meant to be driven life is too short myself I once stored a lot of old cars but never enjoy them just looked at them then realized as the older I got watching friends and family pass away that my day will be coming I would enjoy that car and still be able to take care of it but as I said you are absolutely right it needs to be enjoyed thanks
@@danielkbarton why not buy an 80s model iroc z and drive it ? You would still get the same feel as driving this one and protect your investment. Your argument is invalid. You would not recommend someone taking 60 grand to the casino and putting it all on black would you? There is no upside to this man risking his one off car.
you paid 27 grand just to look at it , I just seen it for free
Hahahaha, lol
Well said.....
he can sell it for over 300 k now
@@tna420wrestling nobody is gonna pay that... The 80's irocs were junk... if it were something more desirable like a 69 RS-SS or a 1944 Willys jeep still in the crate, maybe... but this ain't the car
Right
You know what kind of person doesn't drive and IROC like that? A person who owns few other IROCS they can drive. I don't blame him. Kinda feel bad for the car itself in a weird way though.
"Came" from factory to trailer? More like STOLEN from factory and hidden in container, till it was "found".
if I found a 1986 z28 with 9 miles on it, and still brand new I still would drive it
What about a 1985 iroc?
Vdoe Ross b
Vdoe Ross and this guy's just here just letting a "new" IROC sit for a looooooong time. It's a car it's meant to be driven.
SupercarsGaloreCA exactly. if I want to have a building full of cars just to look at I'll buy some models. drive this.
Burn out and all like it 1985 again!!!
This car has never seen the dealer. I bet it was stolen off a trailer and then hidden away.
fmcprogrmr First comment to say exactly what I was thinking!! 👍🏼
RIGHT exactly what i was thinking too
But if you guys listen to the audio the guy asked you want me to call my wife and get the year of the date of the title you don't get a title to stolen car
Absolutely!
Yes, this appears to have been stolen or the buyer was in the underworld.
the shit was stolen and sold by the transport driver. That's why it's never been PD'id through a dealer. They hid it and something happened to the only person that knew where it was hidden.
NdaKeekz theyre probably just bout to get out of prison like, "Cant wait to pick that bad boy up!"
Mike Cee Ha damn
That's exactly what I was thinking.GM probably shows it as stolen in their records. Some old logistics manager is saying " there it is!!".
mine stolen two sorry no reg. with mine
NdaKeekz i thought people only stole civics
Makes me wish I could go back in time to when I was six and my parents picked up their Grand National.
yep 87 got irocs but also wanted that car way faster than a vette that year just embarassing to corvette and GM for there stupidity!
I owned a new 87 Grand National. Thanks for making me feel old ;)
Lot of idiots in the comment section here, but I expect no less from UA-cam. There are still thousands of Iroc-Z's you can drive that are in great condition- but those aren't brand new. The second you actually drive this thing and register it, it is no longer brand new. This is probably the only new Iroc-Z left in the world, and should be kept that way so future generations can see what this car was like, since most of them are turning to shit from people who don't know how to take care of their cars.
+WestSide1207 You can turn a car into crap that started out as crap.
well said
Right!
+WestSide1207 What's with the "brand new" thing. New is new. It doesn't have to be "brand new" to be new. What does "brand" mean anyway? Watch many game shows lately? And you were saying what about "idiots" in the comment section?
The IROC was probably touched by someone in my family my dad aunt and five uncles all worked in the Norwood Ohio plant with my father working on the first couple that were made. This is such a cool video I remember him getting one or two a month for four or five days to test and then the cars were inspected again and my dad had to fill out paperwork on it. He loved the Pontiac’s Firebird Trans Am until the IROC showed up.
These cars were the shit back in high school
Yes they were fast for back them.
I got banned from parking at my high school parking lot for a year because of morning donuts I did in my 85 Z28.
Great car, I bought one new. I thought it was pretty hot until my brother in law beat me with his Volkswagen bug! It was a super beetle, but still. And I'm not kidding. I couldn't catch him. The chevy 305 was really dependable, but gutless. 155 hp. Also got beat by a v6 z24.
funny my sister had a 1985 corvette back in the 80's and my buddies bug with dual carbs would beat it
Speaking of Z24`s, they were fast for what they were once GM switched from the 2.8L to the 3.1L. Not the fastest cars on the road, but a small lightweight front wheel drive subcompact with what was at the time a big V6 made them certainly more than "Glorified Cavaliers". I had a `90 that I bought used that the original owner had it for 2 months and didnt want it anymore. The one unique thing about it was that the faster I drove it... the better the MPG`s were.
yes, the 3rd Gen was weak
Rob Petry Yeah but how many had them? About 90% were T top 305 cars.
Andrew Parsons ours was....
Cars are meant to be driven, not locked up in a garage.
+THEMilkSHAIKH You couldn't drive this car anyway. It's going to have several weak valve springs, cylinder bores, cam and crank are rusted. Engines worthless.
+231mac Rusted cam and crank? no. if that were the case the engine would have seized when they started it. engine is sealed, no moisture, no rust. I would assume there would be some small rodents living in it when they pulled it from the trailer though.
Oil turns acidic, condensation builds inside dormant engines, they rust... research it, seriously.
True, as it is used it becomes contaminated and breaks down it will become acidic, the oil in this car has not been used. Fresh oil that hasn't been run much should be fine, although it may no longer be useful for lubricating a running engine. I just finished rebuilding a 47 8n that had been sitting for 13 years without running under a tarp outside. 13 winters of snow and ice with no air filter just a tube leading straight to the carb. No rust on the crank or cam or anywhere really. I have done a little research
+Fret Technician you obviously know nothing about oils.... cause motor oil doesn't lose its viscosity over time...it could sit there for 100 years and would still do the same job... only thing that wracks oil is dirt and its gets contaminated with fuel
I did PDIs on these cars at a Chevy dealership back in 85.
Man, seeing some of those markings on the glass brought back some memories I didnt realize I still had...
Too bad this one only had the LG4 305 in it.
Would've been even sweeter if it had the TPI engine...
I'm lucky enough to have the 85 TPI motor.......beautiful car ! Just over 1 mile, all the paperwork & plastic wrap. Was recently offered a crazy amount for it and refused, just found out i'm going to be a grandfather so i'm saving it for my grandchild. I hope he or she makes the right decision when it's forwarded to them. I did leave specific recommendations in the will.

Congratulations!
We just had our first grand baby! He is six months old! Enjoy!
Wasn't it the L69 HO
@@adamspitfire
No, it was the LG4.
The L69 was technically still available in 1985-86 F-bodies, but few were sold those years, mainly due to limited availability.
GM was pushing the LB9 5.0l TPI engines over the L69.
If it had the L69, it would have "5.0L H.O." decals under the IROC-Z emblems, and would have a dual snorkel air cleaner that would also have "5.0L H.O." decal on it.
This car does not have these.
The standard engine for even the IROCs was the LG4.
@@adamspitfire No it had the standard LG4 four barrel Quadrajet carburetor, the Camaro had a SINGLE snorkel air cleaner housing, the L69 HO 305 used the DUAL snorkel air cleaner housing!!!!!!😊
Catch me around that IROC-Z during the zombie apocalypse. 9.5miles no more!
+Jared Salmon LOL
+Jared Salmon Hope you know how to rebuild an engine and carb. After sitting all that time, all those gaskets and seals would be shot.
How could you own something like that and not wanna drive it smh
Because the mileage is what makes it a 100k car. If you drive it then you have a 5k car real quick.
Why put miles on it when you can drive one of your other IROCs.
Because he has more cars and isnt a dumbass in poverty
Used IROC's are not that expensive, he could just restore another one and drive it, problem solved.
@@derekj.tejeda267 exactly not doubt he has other faster but less rare cars he could drive.
I had an 88 IROC 5.7 with auto. It was fun to drive but could have used another 100-150 HP.
Also don't have sex with your partner, save her for the next guy ;)
She's already having sex with the next guy, Well this week's anyway.
In this case, your partner was locked in a box since she was a newborn with nothing to eat, no family, is full of resentment and distrust and will fall apart as soon as she is forced to do something her body hasn't been conditioned to do... Your partner is a caged dog... Or a neglected 30 year old virgin orphan... Good luck with that.
Exactly, who owns a car to not drive it
@@CHEVYCAMARO4GEN I don't think you understood a word i just said... And if you look, the guy that bought the car has plenty of other cars, and I'd be willing to bet money that one of them is an IROC that is nicer and wasn't found in pre-sale condition that he can have more fun in than he would if he drove this one
robsprocket
Best reply I’ve seen lol
Ya I agree... ride the fkn car or someone else will
I usually don't agree with NOT driving cars, but in this case it makes sense to preserve it. Awesome story.
Seems likely this car was stolen off a transport truck and went right in the trailer. What an amazing time capsule, and its even more amazing that It didnt deteriorate in all that time!
He’s going to DIE without having the pleasure of driving it. Just the pleasure of own it like a hotwheel😂
IROC's are not that special, he can find another one. If he admires that low-mileage one, it's okay.
All the people whining about this guy not driving this car, how many people collect old guns and don't shoot them? Old baseball cards (not the best example in a way) and just let them sit in a case? Old comic books and don't read them/open them? Old sports jerseys and don't wear them?
Things like that are collector's items for a reason.
PREACH
The difference is that a car is so expensive it is a waste to not drive it
I completely agree with you btw, but thats not the best argument
"It belongs in a museum."
they dont realize he probably has a rebuild camaro at his house that look the same that he drives so he dont have to drive the old new car
Bless you for being the caretaker of the most beautiful Camaro that Chevrolet ever gave birth to. You are a special person to understand the importance of that flawless work of art.
GTA V getaway car that was parked in a secret location. I guess they failed the mission...
Jim Cross put your gta v disk in your ass crack and see if it can be read.
+Al 503 readed?
Al 503 read*
Al 503 If you had the idea then you must of done it before, what were the results???
To people saying "it's a waste to not drive the car". It's a 1985 Camaro. I owned an identical 86 in blue back in the 90s. It's slow, it's not a great drive. The only reason in the entire world that this thing is worth anything to anyone and not just another parking lot donut-burner is that it is in immaculate condition with almost no mileage. Put a few thousand miles on it and scuff up the paint and it's just another old f-body that no one gives a shit about. This guy has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cars, if he wants an old Camaro with 165 hp to beat on, he could buy one with his spare change.
+Austin Quillen Why do you have to be like that
I still have my 87 IROC from high school. 350, bright blue metallic, t-tops, badass!
was that the tuned port motor? a friend had one and it had some power, quite a big difference from the 5.0 ho z28's.
Oh ya! I had the tuned port 350. I would do burnouts around my buddy's Trans Am while he was sitting in the parking lot. Lol
I'd like to get a nice body one day and drop a newer lm7 327 like my truck has in it, 230k miles , haven't touched the motor, doesn't use oil , drop a cam in it, maybe a eBay turbo that would be a fun cheap and reliable toy . Those tuned port intakes looked awesome though not like the plastic today
When I first saw the motor when I was a kid I thought aliens made it. Lol That would make a fun toy for sure.
The 5.7 only produced 220hp, a granny in a camry would rape it now.
Awesome. That is my generation. I graduated college in 1986. In 1987 I bought an 1986 Trans Am, and my buddy bought an IROC Z28 Camaro. Back in the day they were great cars, but seriously anemic by today’s standards.
how does he clean it up so good without wiping the chalk off?
demariojason that's, what I would like to know !
cover the area with tape and plastic ofc! clean the rest of the car and then carefully removing the plastic and cleaning the covered part.
Ahmed Jhann cool stuff, I was wondering
most of the time it's actually a grease pen, may be called chalk, but there is nothing dry and flakey about it. it will take more than running water to rinse it off so I wouldn't worry about that.
demariojason well on the mirror where there were chalk marks it was dirty, so maybe the car is cot as clean as you think
Eventually a sink hole will open in this place just like the Corvette museum. If you don't drive that IROCK the car gods will demand punishment.
TPV Productions IROC*
TPV Productions YES!!!! YES! Yes they Will.
TPV Productions YES!!!! Yes the will....
The gods will take it back!!!
I was at that museum one day before it sank
I was born in 83 and I remember riding around in the passenger seat of my sister's iroc
with the T Tops off
Couldn't have ended up in better hands! The world needs more guys who will respect and preserve the history of our country, Hopefully Your great grand kids will get to see this mint camaro just as it rolled off the production line.
disconnect the instrument cluster and put another on, when driving it
trypeweedy lol that's illegal
oneeyedude20 so...
iwan There's people who understand and respect a vehicle like this,then there's people like you. I completely understand about the guy not wantin to drive that car. Not wantin to remove the plastic off the seats,steering wheel and door?, wantin to remove the factory/dealership papers off the windows?...not even wantin to wipe off the markings on the back window and mirror? I completely agree and understand. The only thing I'd do different is startin the engine and let the fluids pump through it,after the necessary fluid changes and makin sure everything isn't seized after all those yrs of setting.
nothing would be seized, i have a 1978 buick regal that has been sitting since atleast 1991, all i did was change the spark plugs and wires, and put in a new battery and when i went to turn the key it started instantly.
o Lemurs that's good way to damage a engine. Letting a engine sit for a substantial amount of time all the oil in it drains completely out of the engine into the oil pan. With that being said if you just throw a battery in it an turn the key your now cranking a motor that consists of a lot of moving parts an all them moving parts have no lubrication witch most likely will cause serious damage to the motor. When you start a car everyday the oil leaves a coating through out the motor. I am not trying to be ignorant towards you in anyway writing this either.
I would like to know who did this ,who put it in a Trailer and it was never found until now ??
Something is missing !
Made up bull crap. When they don’t tell the story
Telling the story would be more exciting than finding the car
Chevy Should buy it, and Put it in a Display room at corporate
He probably gets out the shower to pee
BWAHAHAHAHA...excellent comment!!
or walks out of the house to exhale that useless carbon dioxide that he doesn't want trapped inside.
Well she obviously sits down to piss
Whuttt? Hahahahha
It would be dishonest but you could disconnect the speedometer cable if you wanted to go up the street
Ryan96se not to mention its also a crime, some kind of fraudulent crap. I had a buddy that got snitched on for installing a toggle switch's to turn off the vehicle speed sensor and it also disengage the odometer.
mine broke or something on my IROC about 2 years ago. i don't drive the car much but still it bothers me. I'll get it fixed.
he's the type that has a girl but wont touch her he wanna keep her tight for the next guy...
Lol
true
😂
Someone jealous?
enrique gonzalez some guys don't want to put their mouth where their dick just was.
I would pdi it. Inspect every bushing, seal etc. and drive it . i would enjoy it. I have a couple classics and they are daily driven. But also kept in show condition . its a lot of work but so worth it. Because i enjoy driving them.
Are your classics FULLY ORIGINAL with less than 10 miles? Doubt
I own a 2020 SS convertible, but this one has always been my favorite body style. I still remember the first one I saw as a kid, and that first impression stuck with me til this day. What a beautiful car.
If you don't drive it...it's useless!
Theodore Aniskoff tell that to the museums around the world.
What good is a car sitting in a museum? Drive that shit!
Theodore Aniskoff it's worth way more than what it was bought for.
Theodore Aniskoff the car probably doesn't run anyway the engine probably seized up from sitting too long
Hahaha right! Dry rot!
Who bought it originally? Some young fella in military who died in action before he could come home and drive it? What's the story?
Nick Bowling military in 1986 action? No wars in that era lol
Gulf War in the 90s
Amen! Gorgeous IROC Z-28 . Keep it in the exact condition as when you received it. Very smart decision due to the fact as you said ... you will not find a car in this spectacular factory new condition anywhere.! I love that year /model/ style Irocz-28. The body and paint on your time capsule iroc z-28 is breathtaking beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video with the public. Merry Christmas.
Ken.....EXACTLY!! The "know-it-all" car kiddies here think he should be driving it around town doing burnouts in it! No wonder they'll never own anything like this!!
To the owner of the Camaro I totally get it that is a time capsule to those of us that live when those were brand new. I remember riding in those my friend had a Berlenetta which is below that 1 but man that thing would fly and The mix tapes and that cassette player. WOW those with a times!!
Thank you for letting us see that that's a treat
It was never documented out of the factory into a dealership because it was stolen and stashed in that trailer.
And that's the real reason he's not going to drive it. He knows the minute he tries to title it bells are going to go off and he'll be thrown in jail for receiving stolen property.
@@TheBear470 if you guys listen to the audio the guy asked the other guy do you want me to call my wife to get a year from the title you don't get a title with a stolen car just saying
@@TheBear470 just to let you know when they first found it in the trailer with the guy it was from the first series not this series just to let you know that's when he asked for the title in the first series I'm just saying cuz I saw the first clip this was the second clip
@@garymoore2733 yeah like when Berrit Jackson had Sylvester Stallone's stolen car on auction. cant auction a car with out a title right? hell they even advertised it as Stalone's car from the movie cobra witch is what got Stallone's attention. straight out of the factory and hid in a truck....yeah nothing fishy there. faked title, never recorded, and not looked into very hard
Exactly
my boss has a 1990 chevy 454 SS in a trailer with 390 miles with all the plastic from the dealer. it's pretty cool
i just saw one of those old 454 truck in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. A blonde lady was driving it on the high way.
Normally I would agree with those who say "Drive the damn thing! It's a car! They were made to be driven for Christ's sake!" But not this one. Not this time. This is different. This car truly has been elevated to a museum piece to be looked at in awe by car enthusiasts for generations. I had a 1927 Model T that was one family owned, all original. I bought it from the son of the original owner and I drove it almost daily. I didn't have near the awe for it, that I do for this IROC. 80s IROCs are still practically a dime a dozen where I'm from. Buy one of those if you feel the need to hammer on one but leave this one alone.
DEE CEE
Its a bad ads car
But it was probably stolen
This car is taking over UA-cam right now. The original video have been out for over ten years and this video came out in 2015. I see the value of these cars going up.
I hate collectors of any kind its so backwards how can you get a feel without driving it? give it to Jay Leno hell show you how drive the damn thing. lol.
BPJ John yeah it's sickening worship of a fucking vehicle
I collect hot wheels for cars. This guy just has more money. I still have more cars.! 😥
Brandon Hackbarth Repairs and storage is also a piece of cake.
I owned an 84' Z28. Was my first car, I loved that baby. Sadly though, as timeless and classic as this 85' was, it wasn't a true IROC. it was just a Z28 with an IROC package. The true IROC's didn't come out until 87' or 88'. The classic IROC year of course was the 89'
Uh no. Irocs are 85-90.
@@peterpoop look it up
I’d like to know what happened to the steel wheels that were on it when found, also the odometer said 4.3 miles when found, so it has been driven a little so I guess it runs?
The wheels are different from when they found it??
it was on rollers so the factory wheels and tires didn't get damaged most likely. Probably had them in one of the other trailers
thugangel662 so is thecomplete front clipfrom orignal video
knuckleuprambo the front vallance and front spoiler, was inside of the car. It had never been installed. (Until the current owner bought it)
No explanation as to why it was left in the trailer?
This guy is a tool! He doesn’t want it to go to 10miles. He’s going to push it on dollies everywhere! I’m not a GM guy at all. But give the car the respect it deserves!
dodgeguyz nah they drove it. They ruined it completely with that stupid philosophy that 10 miles means everything. It had 4.3 miles when they found it and they put more than DOUBLE the miles on it. They ruined a pristine 4.3 mile example.
brennan Clark but they already ruined it. They already finished the value extensively as it was a 4.3 original mile car. Now it has 9.5, well over double.
@@joshlarochelle1298 if I bought this car I'd drive it as much as I could putting thousands of miles on it and I'd post a video of it just to make you upset.
Keeping it under 10 miles is giving it the respect it deserves.The man is a Camaro collector. This car is the holy grail. You don't want to drop it on the ground and break it. So you go and get a different grail that looks like the original so you can preserve the original.
@@loganbowers3672 Fun fact: *We wouldn't care*
Beautiful car
I bought an 85 Camaro off the floor while dating my wife and now I’ve got the urge to find another after 33 years of Marriage brings back a lot of great times and the best Rock And Roll bands ever to hit a lick on a guitar 🎸 👍🏻
How does he keep it on nine miles without it seizing up?
EgoShredder it was left in a trailer from 1985. Someone forgot or just abandoned it.
EgoShredder There wouldn't be a significant chance of it seizing up since he doesn't plan to drive it... ever.
I bet he drives it in reverse so no mileage is added on.
I want to know how many hrs the engine has on it.
The wrong guy got this nice car.
He also said you'd never find another like it....he WAS wrong.
Find another low-mileage IROC, I'll wait.
YOU DROVE IT? IT WAS FOUND WITH 4.3 MILES NOT 9.
I have a 86 IROC Z28 5.0 MFI with 60,000.Only been driven in the summer. I'm happy with it
IROCs aren't IROCs until someone has sex in it
Funny comment.
Corpsie It HAS 9 miles?
Corpsie thats called an ICOCK
In them or on them?
both
This is not the same car, pulled from the trailer. Look at video when they have found it. 4:50 Car is without front spoiler, dont have the same wheels, paint is damaged. It's not the same car, or it was repaired before they have bring it here...
do i remember the unfitted spoiler being in the car,and steel rims? not sure...
All of that stuff was inside the car.
Nah, as a detailer I can tell you there are ways to restore paint even super dusty cars like that
i want to buy it and drive the shit out of it. thats why its cool. someone should get the enjoyment of feeling 1985 again in 2015. it would be well worth the price to me.
AGREED!
+rob brown Just don't pull up next to another new Camaro. You'll quickly get pissed as you watch the new one RUN away from you.
Sahadi420
i already have a GTO that beats new camaros, the iroc would be for crusin.
+rob brown. GTO for the win for sure!
+rob brown. GTO for the win for sure!
Well it's not all original... it didn't have IROC Z28 wheels and tires on the car when they brought it out of the trailer. You didn't mention that detail!!
When they found it it had 4.3 miles someone enjoyed it for 5 miles lol
I wish they did just build it yesterday, beautiful car in an ugly world today
Are you Gotta do is just take the speedo cable out And drive it
I think he drove it for a thousand miles and put it in the museum telling everybody it's got less than 9.5 miles!
Yeah that dude is a slick dick
Now that’s a hell of a barn find
There's absolutely no point in having a car you can drive. Take a picture have a memory. But do the car the honour of doings its job and looking good in the sun
Unhook the odometer and drive the hell out of it
"Perfect" I bet those seals are dried as fuck 😂
I always found it interesting that they Chose to take such a low option car and turn it into a time capsule. It has the pathetic LG4 305 And is missing at the very least a Power rear hatch release. A very cool find, it just surprises me that someone who had the ability to buy a brand new car and store it for all those years didn't start out with something a little more highly option.
maybe that wasn't the original plan and they died and nobody knew about it or wanted anything to do with it.
Unplug the speedo,take her for a Spin than put it back on.
That was my first thought. At least to move it around the shop.
I believe he drove it for a thousand miles and put it in the museum telling everybody "It's got less than 9.5 miles! :-)"
Wait..if it’s abandoned and if there was no owner around how did you buy or get the car
Right
Ricky Rodriguez stole it
curious, can we get a number on the cocks?
Simple lost title procedure that takes a couple months in most states. You have to put ads in newspapers that you're trying to apply for a new title so if a current owner sees that, they can call the DMV and stop the transfer. Very old fashioned process and takes forever, but can be done if you want to title a car with no title or previous owner. Or maybe there's an easier way involving chevrolet since it sounds like a title was never issued to begin with.
my uncle bought the original wheels off this car.
Willa Herrera Sure he didn't...
Willa Herrera Everybody's uncle did something cool, ya ever notice hat?
My uncle touched my penis when I was 8
I read an article before in Hot Rod magazine where a man passed away and his sons sold off the 4 semi trailers full of classic Chevy's. The engines were all removed but each one was found among the lot of vehicles and parts. It was really amazing. I've never found anything else about it in the days of the internet.
yes leaved like that for the Sancho 👈 he will enjoy it👍
so you drove it 5 miles, so why not 1 more.
axel cluck, he didn't drive it at all. He was driven onto the trailer in 85, he pushed it out the trailer onto his 20 + years later. Then he used dollies to put it in his show room. So the miles on it are from the factory.
axel cluck disconnect the instrument cluster and put another on, when driving it 🤣
This car would need a lot of work to be driven, even though it appears mint every rubber part has turned into hardened junk over all these years and the motor is probably seized.
orion2themax cock
I wonder if it was ever warranty registered with GM. If not, it would still have the factory warranty.
3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Not 30 year.
I had a brand new 1987 IROC Z28 convertible, red. The first car I ever bought. I loved that car, it was beautiful, & so much fun! It got stolen when I was at an event at the L.A. Forum, 3 years later. This guy is crazy. What is the purpose of having that car just to look at it? There was nothing like the sound of that engine. What a waste of a beautiful car. Sitting in that garage is no different than sitting in that trailer.
Why do people.get cars to not drive them. They were met to be driven. So the car went from sitting in a truck for 24 years to sitting in a garage for 11 awesome.
It's one of a kind want to drive one drive another one that has mileage on it an let this stay mint
For who so it can sit in a garage. And get passed down to one of the kids.
drug dealer back up car
Man that's where I left it!!!!
Boat Axe haha Nah man he's dead but nobody claimed the car cuz they didn't know cuz secret drug dealer back up car !!
rudy torres man you are a fuckin' fool one of the best comments I've seen on the tube sad part..... it's true!
vice city life lol
That's stupid it hasn't been PDI's so it goes no more than 20
Funny how he said you'd "never" find one like it, mines a 85 with 1.4 miles, all the paperwork AND does have the passenger plastic wrap. I'm also blessed to have one of the rarest cars ever made. Never say never !!
so he's just gonna let it sit there and never drive it?? what a waste!!!!!!!!!
Someone prolly stole it.
absolutely
i was thinking the same thing, stuck it in the trailer and never came back for it.
i knew someone who did this on a 90 iroc and a friend at a dealer gave him 2 years worth of paper temp tags.
he had the bought it from somebody at the factory or he work there. and decide to take it and stick it up.
from what i understand the original owner was going to turn it into a drag car but that idea fell apart
He did come back... He sold it to the guy you see in this video
9.5 miles? Okay 10 grand, that's the best I can do.
crosswire7777 lol, like Rick from Pawn Stars
Yea alot of people knock them but they were awsome looking back then...I remember my moms boyfriend had 1 and I loved it always wanted 1 actually bought 1 for my first car it was that bronze color iroc z28 but it had been used by a woman sonwasnt beat up but man the one in video is a beautiful car shows that they are a sports car and food looking at that
