HERE’S HOW MUCH I PAID FOR MY CAMARO IROC-Z

[@ReynoldsRides]

How close was your guess?

[@rubyred93chev]

_With-in 5 large._

[@petek6522]

2k under the 24 you paid

[@benji7001]

Man, you stole it. I said 30k was my guess. Hagarty number 2 which this car is shows a price of over 40k. People are missing the point with comments why pay this much for car that gets beat by Camry. Well, if you grew up in the 80's The IROCZ was bad ass car and no Camary or Toyota can close to the performance or looks back in the day. And is this not the reason we buy these cars. I am 53 years old but when i get behind my Irocz it takes me back to 16 again.

[@davidgalinat4257]

Well, I said over 20K, so I was in the ballpark. I have no idea what these are truly worth, as I haven't priced them in some time. Its crazy to me that they are basically the same price as the 4th gen F-bodies.

[@yonihales9133]

No not as long as someone is it stands now are willing to pay way to much for them. I think they will settle after the fan fair @12k

[@muthatrucka45]

If your purchase was purely an investment it matters what you paid but if you bought it because it's a car you really wanted then don't worry about it, just enjoy it. The value will go up either way. If it's something I really wanted and was hard to find, I wouldn't mind paying a little more if I could afford to. Things are worth what people are willing to pay. Life is short, make the most of it

[@Jimbob-zn6bl]

I purchased my 1985 iroc z28 camaro for $3,500back in 1995. I've still got mine and cherish it!!😡🚘

[@ChosenDaGentleman]

Can you please help me find a Good price for mine ? 🙏🏽

[@allenloper7855]

That is rare, 1990 was a short production year. The color combo is absolutely perfect and pretty rare with red decals. Great iroc example

[@jkellzy24]

i have the same car but with red leather interior with 17500miles

[@beardedreviews]

Another comforting factor to think about is that you are making content out of it, and in time, it will actually pay for the car. I've made a bunch of content out of my 92 RS that I only paid 3K for a long time ago, and the money from the content has paid for the car many times over.

[@kmas8229]

Money can't buy you happiness, but it could get you an awesome Iroc like you have. Looking forward for more videos, hope you'll make content on maintenance and personal mods you do to the car to make it truly yours. -Newly subbed Norwegian fellow Iroc owner (1987 Maroon Lb9 Hardtop, 5-speed G92 9-bolt 3:45 rear rocking Trans Am GTA wheels)

Oh yeah keep these babies commin' ! I myself have an always Garaged Red/Charcoal 1987 Chevy Camaro Convertible Iroc Z28 with 305 Cui/5.0 Liter TPI V8 with 5 gear manual Borg-Warner IROC-race-homolegation gearbox and Borg-Warner IROC-race-homolegation Drive train / undercarriage with 4 diskbrakes; in 1987 only 744 made ! I am so glad I got her like 2 years ago, because I get a lot of positive reactions and the value seems to be climbing all the time...

I appreciate that, thanks.

Thanks for the memories. 80’s Forever.

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

You need new valve guides seals. That’s why you get that puff of smoke on start up. My low mile 89 IROC had the same issue. Easy fix, paid a mechanic $250 parts and labor.

[@ReynoldsRides]

Yeah, my ‘89 Vette needs them too.🥴

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

You’re car should appreciate in value over time if well kept and not driven too much. Originality and obviously condition is what brings the money in these cars. I paid $16,000 for my 13,000 mile all original car in 2015. In April 2022 I sold it to to a guy in Colorado for $43,000 with 16,000 miles on it. That was my dream car going back to the first blue iroc I saw in 1985 while cruising around my college town in my blue 1982 z28. I hated to sell but the offer was just too good to pass up. I’ve still got my black 85. In fact I took it out of storage this weekend and put about 100 miles on it. Enjoy your beautiful car, we only go around once.

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

I absolutely love the Blue, I love black in almost all other cars but there is something about the Camaro in blue, I don’t even like the Trans Ams in blue, but the IROC, the blue just suits it..

[@jukeboxzero1]

Nice. Having my insurance agent increase the agreed value on my 3rd Gen. Market value definitely justifies the cost of a good paint correction.

[@Z06RFan]

I think you got a great deal! That car is insanely clean and didn't show any wear. great buy!

[@ericbitzer5247]

Cool, I was waiting for this. I didn't know they would be so much, but it is a piece of GM history and probably will appreciate in value. A friend's uncle had one he lent to him and I remember how quick and fast they were. For the 80's anyway.

[@classicreaction5340]

I buy and sell Irocs myself (when I can actually find nice ones).....and the market for them has jumped so much just in the last two years, that I wish I still had some of the ones I sold just 3-4 years ago! Yours looks like a beautiful example, and is absolutely appreciating daily. It's literally better than having money in the bank. Save some cool cars for the rest of us! 😉

[@jkellzy24]

i same car as in the video, 17500 miles on it and red leather interior...

[@walterrezendes5716]

Great honest well laid out video,agreed with values and conditions of these cars,good luck.

My uncle had one of these when i was a kid it reminds me of the 80's such a great time beautiful car i love it!

[@HB-1604]

Just came across your channel. Beautiful IROC and damn that is one hell of a stable of cars.

[@just4kicks950]

I can't believe they sold it for that. I thought you gave at least 30.k from what I've seen them go for, sweet deal & beautiful collection indeed 🚘✨️🔥🔥👍

[@i-still-cruz2430]

I guessed 25k in the previous video. A lot of 80s “muscle cars “ are gaining in value

[@Zelaznogsiul-63]

I believe that was what my guess also. Is there any awards for guessing? I want the zr1.

[@kevinsmith8003]

I had a 3rd-GEN 1990 I-ROC-Z Camaro with the 5.7 Liter T.P.I. Engine with only 245 H.P., which I purchased back in May of 1990. It came with the DELCO BOSE Sound System and it was a Burnt Red (not Tomato Red) Color with Black Interior. Yes, you are correct, T-Tops did not come with the 5.7 Liter I-ROC-Zs because of the Torque that the transmission created on the Body. However, it was still a great car, but, I did not like not having T-Tops with the 5.7 Liter T.P.I. Engine and I did not like the all Aluminum / Metal Body Panels (Hood, Doors, etc.). You have to worry about DENTS and eventual RUST with a car made of all Aluminum / Metal Body Panels. By the way, my I-ROC-Z's MSRP was $22,389.41 right off the showroom floor back then. Meanwhile, that is why I eventually graduated up to a 35th Anniversary 4th-GEN 2002 Camaro SS that is Dark Navy Blue Metallic with the T-Tops, has the 5.7 Liter LS-1 Engine with 345 H.P., and has a 6-Speed Manual Trans with the Hurst Shifter and the SLP Center Mounted Exhaust (C.M.E.) System. Its 22 Years Old and I still have it. Now, the only Aluminum / Metal Body Panels that I have to worry about DENTING and RUSTING are the two (2) Rear Quarter Panels. All other Body Panels are made of DENT-RESISTANT PLASTIC COMPOSITE or FIBERGLASS material. FYI, this particular Camaro SS's MSRP was $40,765.43, but, it will last longer without an all Aluminum / Metal Body.

[@kalidilerious]

Even the 2002 camaro market is heating up too. Now with the 5.7 liter not having T-Tops I guess that was just for 1990? I know the previous years they were all over the place. Funny how chevy/GM were only concerned about twisting the chassis the very last year lol.

[@danielfair4675]

1990 was the only year you couldn't get t-tops with the 5.7 IROC. They were available on the 87 - 89's.

[@kevinthomas26]

Beautiful car! I have an 86 Z28 116K miles that was a 2 owner the 2nd owner only had it a few months the father passed and they had to sell its also unmolested but also wasnt garaged so it does need some tlc and recdently I was able to score a wrecked 99 Z28 with less than 21,000 miles that ill be swapping the guts into my 86

[@dzim8822]

[@paulpatrulescu9976]

Beautiful stable you got there … I was close with my guess of 25k. Congrats again

[@narrowhwy114]

short & sweet Liked the undercarriage views. Also the re-garaging of the rides, would seem boring but was oddly fun to watch. Liked the anti-scrape boards when removing the Vette. Cool video.

[@LIGHTNING351]

The IROC is beautiful! Color is awesome congrats. But I still love the ZR-1 more....How about some updates on the Z...

[@2Poetik4u]

Great video. I bought my 1990 IROC swapped with an LS1 for $12,000 in early 2022. The value has definitely gone up even since then.

Great looking IROC

[@jsb1561]

I was thinking north of 30k, I feel you got a great deal. I've been looking for one of these for a couple years now and either out of my price range or bring it home in a trailer.

[@FrankKaneko]

I have a bright blue 89 Iroc. . Put my money in improving the suspension and headers/exhaust system. This car now drives like a go-cart. Bought it 30 years ago from the original owner at 32k miles, now have 132k miles. The best 100k miles I’ve put on a sports car. .These cars are made to be driven on the esses on the open road. Enjoy the ride!

[@erict3032]

That is the most awesome car ever. I had 2 mustangs when I was in the army 11b (10th mountain) 30 years ago. One was a white lx 5.0 then traded it in on a ‘94 gt 5.0 red. I loved those cars and wish I still had em. I always had a soft spot on my heart for the IROC’s but never got one. I would take very good of that car cuz they are very rare now in that condition. Have fun with your ride!

[@geomaz35]

I have a '90 ZR-1 parked next to my IROC too!. The IROC is actually worth way more because it's only 1900 miles. I almost daily an '88 foxbody.

[@poppad1187]

I get this video is a year old but I’ve just got the urge to grab myself an old school muscle car again. The first car I ever bought was a 91 Trans Am GTA when I was in my 20’s . I really enjoyed that beast. I’ve looked at newer Camaro, Mustangs, Vette’s & Challenger’s I just recently found a 91 Z28 Convertible with 60k 1 owner in beautiful shape. Have to weigh out the options of going completely back to analog to staying closer and keeping some digital when I make the choice. The 91 Camaro & Trans Am are definitely archaic even compared to a say a 2004 C5 Vette but the car in good shape is killer looking. I have to make a decision soon because these cars in good shape are becoming increasingly hard to find. So are Fox Body Mustangs , Cobra’s and notchbacks. Decisions Decisions. Beautiful beast though !

[@binksters_dad]

I knew it. i said 25k and based on the condition and year. You did good. The 90 is very rare. Its only going to increase in value. Beautiful.

[@simonblouin2218]

Last year, I bought a Canadian 1989 IROC-Z, T-Top, LB9, 5 speed, completely original down to the tires... with 20kmiles, one owner!!! I have all documentation. Total cost with taxes was cn$30.7k about us$22k. I spent an extra us$5k to bring it up to speed including 100hrs of DIY tuning and basic maintenance. I made the decision to install subframe connectors to straighten the chassis, preventing the B pillar crack to get worse (driver side). Paint needed little work, just a one step correction. Since the paint was original, I did not go crazy on the correction. The interior is a 9.8/10! Since last year, I know the prices have gone up. Congratulations.

[@ReynoldsRides]

Thanks and thanks for sharing your experience from last year.

[@beautomasi1701]

About 18 years ago, dealing in some classic cars myself, I predicted the IROC's will be equivalent to the 55-57 Chevy's today.

WOW! My Favorite car of ALL TIME!! Had 3 of them. When I was 17 (in 1992) I bought my first one. A Black 1987 IROC Z-28 305TPI. 5 months later, some moron decided to make a left turn from the centerlane and I "T-boned " him. TOTALED MY Z.. Took the Insurance check and bought another 1987. A red one this time! Same 305TPI. Had in until 1994 when I rode in my buddies 1989 IROC with the 5.7 350cu in engine. Spanking the Mustang GT's of the day. Sold mine and found a 1987 with the 350cu in engine and the Australian 9 bolt rear end option from the dealer that came with 3.23 gears. 30,000mi car $6000 cash. Had that car until 2006. Kicking myself everyday for that mistake. Tried to find it a few years ago but had no luck. Anyway, that's a beautiful find. A true Gem!! Take good care of her!!!

[@ChrisGarage]

i was confused by the video a bit, but i think i figured it out as i had the same problem. you have too many cars that you cant store at your house. i would take that ram out of the garage and put the Camaro in there. i'm shocked at the prices of the thirdgens lately. my girl i bought from an owner that didn't treat it good. i restored the interior and modified it. it was a base model lg4 5 speed manual car with posi traction and A/C. 17k in 1986. she currently has a 6.0 hot cam ls with long tube headers an ls7 clutch with a tremec tko 600 5 speed mated to a moser 12 bolt rear axle, fully adjustable suspension. unfortunately she spends most of her time on the bendpak above my c6 vette.

[@ReynoldsRides]

My wife parks her minivan in the garage and, as you noted, I park the Ram in the garage as well because it’s brand new and I want to keep it nice. I have a Mustang Cobra that I park outside at my house and use it to switch out cars at my garages. When my wife isn’t home, sometimes I’ll slip a car in her spot for a day or two 😉.

At the time, I lived in the city and everybody wanted to steal it. Also, after 50k miles, it started running really crappy and the dealer and nobody else could figure out why. The dealers treated me like total crap when I would try to get it repaired. Well, I guess those are just the things that happened back in the 80s with the nicer GM cars.

You are so wrong. Modern "rubbish" is a million times better than old ass cars that were never good even when they were new

[@Jack-tx2ve]

@@fartdonkey8290 Is that right? Modern cars are better appliances. They work really well when they work. But when they are out of warranty, there are so many complex, expensive things that can fail that they become almost un ownable. That's why so many new models come and go from the roads so quickly, so many end up on the scrap pile. With old cars, if you looked after the corrosion, you could own them for many years, you could fix them with a hammer and some basic knowledge and they would still get you from A to B. All my cars are more than 30 years old. I never take them to a professional to be fixed and I do 10 of thousands of miles a year.
