Field find Camaro!

Found a 1985 IROC Camaro in a field. Checking it out. #classic #car #chevrolet

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

Yes, IROC was a option package of the z28 from 85-87. Starting with 88 it became its own stand alone model and became the top dog. This car, an 86 was detuned (somewhat) from the 85 model due to government emission requirements and an 86 is easily identified by the high mounted center brake light. We called those Cyclopes lights back in the 80s. I bought my first third gen in 1986 when I was 21 and have owned three others over the years. Currently have a 85 IROC (check out my videos of it) that was Ls swapped. If I can be of help don’t hesitate to send a message.

[@1776_Garage]

Cool. Thanks

85 to 90

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

@@matthewnelson4298 no, 85-87 it was an z28 option. 88-90 it became its own model.

[@pearidger2003]

@@matthewnelson4298 You are right, the IROC-Z was made from 85 to 90.

Pretty nice for a field car

[@davebarron5939]

Raise the hood, PERFECT all ready for an LS swap.

[@1776_Garage]

Maybe but I was thinking a 400 small block

[@keneldred9030]

If I had all I needed, ($$.$$ , garage,proper tools, etc. ,) I would buy the blue Chevy in an instant! I would then do a complete bare shell out “Rotisserie “ restoration, putting a TPI 350 with a 5 speed manual transmission in it! And yes, DEFINITELY keep the same color, simply adding some bright white stripes accordingly! That’s a true gem of a car!

[@1776_Garage]

I agree

[@roadtripgarage]

great find!, i recently found and picked up a 1983 berlinetta. ive been working on getting it on the road.

86 iroc nice find.i have a 90 iroc.

[@1776_Garage]

Cool

[@grantwilks8706]

I’ve never seen a 85 with a third brake light. The 85’s didn’t have any additional rear brake light and the 87 had the third brake light in the spoiler..

[@pearidger2003]

I think the 86 was the only year with the government mandated third brake light on the top of the deck lid. After that year they started putting them under the spoiler on the deck lid.

[@okspeedshop]

Buy the squarebody and the iroc. Content for days 😜

[@1776_Garage]

Yep but it's that pesky money issue lol

[@WhiskeyDents]

Love the car and the color

[@1776_Garage]

If I could find and afford one I'd like to put a Chevy 302 in it.

Walked RIGHT by the geo metro convertible…

[@1776_Garage]

I know. What a beast!

[@headshot8888]

True irocs did not have manual transmission.

[@1776_Garage]

Actually in 1987 you could get one with a 305 and manual transmission.

[@TappedoutAuto]

Usually if it's a I Roc,Z it will say Z28 I Roc Z underneath it on the dash Look like your car is just a Z28 a lot of people put the I Roc stickers on them to make people think they're car is a I Roc

[@1776_Garage]

Interesting

[@TappedoutAuto]

I just made a short on my KZbin channel of my dashplate.

Hopefully it's a V8 car and not a V6 car with it being a manual.

It has not motor

[@TappedoutAuto]

@1776_Garage Got to look up the codes to see what it had in it a 5 speed hopefully it had the 305 be worth a little bit more money.

[@1776_Garage]

@@TappedoutAuto It's ok. I don't plan on buying it. They want too much for it with no motor or transmission.

It’s an 86

[@1776_Garage]

No. It's an 85 unless the door was changed out. The sticker says 85. Door looks original but I could be wrong.

[@robertkolb228]

@@1776_Garage The hatch is definitely from an 86, that’s the only year that had a third brake light on top.

[@1776_Garage]

@@robertkolb228 Sticker on the door said it was built 10/85. Like I said, it could have been a door off of another one.

[@robertkolb228]

@@1776_Garage i was agreeing with you, i meant the hatch could also be from another car. Lots can happen over the years.
