What should i do?

[PunkRockerK]

Man at starz automative they have a 1988 iroc-z for $5000. it has 100,000 miles and it is a five speed.

Should i trade in my 94 v6 for it?

And usually see irocs with the speedometer at 85. this goes 150! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

what size moters do they have?

[BLLDOGG]

it has the 350 and i would say no. but it might be faster than your car if thats what you want. thats a big might be

That seems like a heck of a lot for an 88. My 98 blue books at $1,000 less than that.

does seem like alot of money.. u could get a 93 or 94 lt1 trans am or z28 for cheaper with less miles.. and be a helluva lot faster!

BTW, they had 305s as well.. did the irocs ever have 350s?

[BLLDOGG]

yes. the irocs had the 350 and the z28s had the 305s

Is it real clean?

A clean 3rd gen is righteous.


:cool:

a FEW UNKNOWN 3rd gen IROCS had 350s and 5-speeds. they are EXTREMELY rare and it is only a rumor that they exist to begin with.

do your homework, check numbers, etc. before you dive headfirst into it.

facts:

first IROC rolled off the floor in 1985.
first "production" year for a 350 IROC was 1987.
it is rumored that some (50 is what i see most often) 86's had 350s.
my '86 had a 305 which i replaced with a lightly built 350.
it is rumored that some IROCs (50 again) were built with T5 5 speeds.
IROC production stopped in 1990 when the "IROC" rights were sold to dodge, which then produced the IROC daytonas.

thank you, I thought I was right

[fbirdgt01]

honey if you buy that car you are extremely incompetant. 5000 is WAAAAAY to much for a 3rd gen. you could get an lt1 for that much with the same miles if not less. Come on be reasonable. The 3rd gens are NOT worth it. I've owned one, and it was a dog compared to my 2001 firebird GT.

I'd pay $1,000.

[Fredless]

WAY WAY to much money.

Save your money for something better.

if it really is a true 5 speed L98 IROC I'd still say that's too much if nothing else because of the mileage. At this point it's too high mileage to be a real collector item without a full restoration. Even then it will be years I'd say 10+ before it might be worth something. Now if you just want a playtoy and it was cheaper I'd say go for it. L98's are fun and there is an awesome aftermarket for them.
