Back in the day I bought a BRAND NEW 1988 IROC just like this one - even the same colour. 18 months later I went to a car show and won one of the grand prizes. The prize i got was to rebuild the engine, tranny, suspension, rear end, etc with a NOS kit. The car had Centerline rims that could handle 750 ponies. It was way too much fun. I sold it a number of years later - family on the way. To this day when I see a black IROC all the memories come back. Awesome ride guys!

I had an 1985 IROC-Z black and gold. I loved it when I was 21 years old. I'm loving this video. The interior has been changed. No CD in 85 model (tape player) and newer radio. The gauges are from a newer IROC, 87, 88 or 89 and speedometer for an 305 only went to 85 MPH, the steering wheel is not from an 85 either. This is bringing back some great times behind the wheel of my IROC. I'm older now.., have a 2018 Corvette Z06 that is a beast. Thanks for the vid fellas!

[@TraceZ28]

Check the RPO codes, make sure it's a real IROC. It's very easy to make a Z28 look like an IROC, especially considering it was repainted and re-stickered, and that might explain why it has the wrong hood on it, even though Z28s also got the louvered hood. The v6/RS hood makes me worry for you - it's very odd why that would of gotten on there. Look at the front cradle, does it have the wonderbar suspension brace as an Iroc should? IIRC, the RPO codes were in the center console glove box on a sticker. Assuming it's even the original center console... Verify the VIN on the sticker matches the one in the door jamb.

[@christianrodriguez8010]

Check to see if the engine is actually a 5.7. The TPI engines came both in 5.0 as well as 5.7 in the Irocs and Pontiac Trans Am GTA . You would know by checking the sticker under the hood. Some of the Irocs also had the badging on the rear bumper that would say "5.7 Tuned Port Injection" instead of just "Tuned Port Injection". Regardless though, these are great modern, American classics.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

5.7 was an 87-92 option for this generation in the IROC, T/A and Formula. This one is an 86.

They both still own them, and they are in good running condition, but neither will sell. I'm 33 now and I'm hoping by 40 I will have my own beautiful sexy camaro 😊 great video awesome transformation

[@shelbyvernon9892]

On the RPO code sheet in the glove box you should find the code B4Z. That will ensure it was a factory IROC-Z. As stated, the RS standard hood is a worry. Plus, I didn't see a third brake light so that tells me it's an 85 and would have come with a 305 Tuned Port if ordered. The engine by looking at the valve covers tells me it's an 86 and earlier block. Run the code off the block to verify it is actually a 350. The seats are from a 4th gen Camaro and the CD could be from a 91 or 92 GM product.

[@jacksheeley839]

Yes and the 5.7 350 didn't come out until 87. And only with the automatic of course.

[@chriscarlisle1974]

Another tell tale way at first glance is the fact that it says "Tuned Port Injection" on the back bumper and right below the Z28 on the sides. The 350 had a "5.7 Tuned Port Injection" badge on the rear and same for the sticker below Z28 on the sides.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

I keep having the same dream over and over of me going into my family's barn and finding my 1983 Pontiac Trans Am that I used to drive to high school back in the eighties. It's covered with dust and has a little bit of rust here and there, but once I put a battery charger on it, she fired right up. Of course, it ran like complete 💩, but what would you expect when it has almost 40 year-old fuel in it? I'd take it out of the barn and go for a spin, which brought back all of those wonderful memories from when I'd roll into my high school's parking lot, all shiny and looking sharp. It was just like I remembered it with the T-tops off and the wind blowing through my sweet mullet. Those were the greatest days of my life, and I would give anything - and I mean anything - to be able to go back and do it all over again.....

[@MonteCarlo-rx4hu]

I had an 1989 iroc z-28 a couple years ago with the 350. It was fast enough. You can figure the miles to be true a couple ways. Steering is one way. It'll be tight and responsive. Look at the pedals. A 100k pedal is pretty flat on grooves. A low k pedal will look like new. Anywhere hands touch . I got $3800 for mine just before COVID. If I didn't have 2 79 montes and a 79 elky I'd of kept it.

[@whitelx]

I had an 85 IROC that was black with gold wheels and decals. The interior was also gray. The speedo is not correct, therefore the mileage is unknown, definitely not 14k. The seats are incorrect. It should have a low back bucket with separate headrest. This would have originally had a TPI 305 as the TPI wasn’t available until 87. Run the block codes as it could have been 350 swapped as mine was. The louvered hood is correct for an IROC. I do believe the trim around the fog lights isn’t correct for the year, I don’t recall the bow tie, only the camaro text. Still, overall it’s a nice car, good find. 👍

[@stevenanderson-c8n]

Great find guys and for the price its a really great find. So, I bought my IROC back in 1986, so i'm the original owner. I bought my first 3rd gen in 1982, a white Z28. I'll do my best to give you the right info on the IROC's. First, the engines were all 305's up until 1987 when Chevy started putting the 350's in them. Despite all the rumors and urban legends no 1986 IROC's were sold with the 350 in them.. However, that doesn't mean none were made. Chevy did make 50 IROC's with the L98 350 in 1986 but, these cars were not sold to the public. Some were scrapped BUT an unknown number were given to "special" customers. So yes there are some reeeally rare 1986 350 IROC's out there but I doubt the average is out there selling one. A lot of people have dropped a 350 in their 86 (like me) so you can find those out there. Other things on the IROC's are the tail light covers, which are different then the regular Z28's, and the other options in the IROC package that were mentioned. As far as the hood goes the only difference is the louvers that were on the IROC's as the regular Z28's did not have louvers. However I have met a couple of people who say they ordered louvers for their Z's when they ordered the car from the dealer. I'm guessing that may have been an option you could do. The IROC decal on the door moved to the rear of the door in 1988 and the Z28 decal around the car were changed to IROC-Z decals. So I've only touched on a few of the "bigger" differences on the IROC's. These are certainly not all the differences.

[@stevenanderson-c8n]

Oh and one more thing. That speedometer IS for that car. I don't know why but Chevy made 3 different speedometers for the IROC's, an 85, a 115 and a 145. I got stuck with an 85 lol.

I found a 78 turbo regal you'd guys love. Pretty solid body in Kenton, Ohio.

[@angelagrant9163]

That's a steal❤ we dragged main in my best friend's IROC❤ Great times❤ That's going to be gorgeous ❤

[@davidt3563]

My first car was a 89 Formula Firebird, the interior was flaaaawless but the engine had manafold issues and lifter issues. It was the white top/black bottom. I miss that car every day for 20 years now!

[@birdsfabulous]

The torx bols in the interior....the mile long flat w/2 angle dash pads. The memories..hahahaa. these cars were very easy to tear apart and fix

[@sinisterblue01camaro]

Big Camaro enthusiast. Would love to find a barn find like that. Will make a great show car

[@pilotspeed1]

Reminiscing. I was 23 yrs old when I bought a brand new 1985 twin to this car. Loved it Sooo much. Chick magnet for sure. I did so many donuts in the car and I remember how well it cornered and hugged the ground. Good find Boys. Thanks for posting..

[@ericbrown-ti5kb]

That hood came with all the Z/28 and Iroc cars..I would definitely put it back on.

[@timsimsmusic]

Love to watch you guys do what you do! I've owned a few third gen Camaros and currently have an all original 1984 Camaro Sport (the plain jane) with the 305. Fun cars! My dream car I would love to find would be a 1971 Pantera! Kuddos on your find.

[@brandonfoltz4789]

My first car! Exact model but had gold racing stripes! ❤️

[@hiimjustinw]

Great video. I absolutely love those old IROC's. It has 4th gen seats in it too-fyi. Looks like 93-95 interior. (great upgrade). Pretty sure--you could get the 5.7 tpi from the factory in an IROC Z. However, it only came with the auto, if you got the big motor. If you wanted a 5-speed crunch box, it came with the anemic 305.

[@SHADOSTRYKR]

Adam is JACKED! WOW

[@laivatietajaYT]

I would love to see a barn find Pontiac Trans Am from any year between 1976-85🤩 or an another Saab...

[@teddywoods9485]

I think this could be the start to a new chapter for yall. Build a garage of barn finds that didn’t have the owners to get them right. Essentially you’ll have what looks like tavarish’s garage but 20~+ years older, and equally as cool.

[@damm1957]

My dream barn find would be a 1936 or 37 V12 Packard with the original mohair seats.

[@jdz0660]

Hey guys, nice work on this one. 3rd gen camaros have a special place in my heart and I know a TON about them. My best one was a 92 Z28 convertible with a 5-speed manual. Let me know if you want to connect. I can probably help answer any question you have regarding it. (There were a couple things even in the video I could correct you on 😉). Thanks!

[@SirReptitious]

The wheels were labeled front because the rear wheels are a little bit wider. I know this because I bought an '85 TransAm new in '85 and the first time I went to get the tires rotated, as I was driving out I turned the steering wheel and heard a knocking noise. The wheels were hitting the tie rods. Had them put them back. Mine had a speedometer that only went up to 85mph; that was the last year they had 85mph speedometers in them. Mine also had power windows, power locks, power mirrors, so that was not a rare package at all. My factory sound system didn't have a CD player though; just radio and cassette. They had small 6" subs in the B-pillars that sounded surprisingly good, until they dried out years later and the cones cracked. Mine had the same original 305 the IROC had and mandatory automatic tranny. Only 215HP which is laughable these days, but she was plenty fast enough for me. Mind was maroon with silver/black fade striping at the bottom of the doors, and a silver screaming chicken on the hood. No scoops or louvers on the hood. Chicken cracked badly over the years; I was told it was at least partly my fault because I waxed it when waxing the car. No idea if that was true or not, but when I had to have the car repainted after an accident that luckily wasn't my fault, I opted not to replace the decal.

[@pmscalisi]

Screaming chicken, you had a Firebird.

[@SirReptitious]

@@pmscalisi Yes, all Trans Ams were Firebirds, but not all Firebirds were Trans Ams.

[@nobodyspecial-d5j]

i completely understand that "value" for stuff like this can vary all over the place. if you think you got a great deal, that's what counts. would be awesome to see more videos o this and what you do with it

[@jasenwfrazier42]

First gen of IROC still had Z28 badging, it had the upgraded motor and suspension. IROC has the 350tpi, IROC was from INTERNATIONAL RACE OF CHAMPIONS car they ran from all the great drivers of that particular year from all motor sports. Vince the name IROC-Z(28)

[@stevennichols6915]

Generally there were 2 interiors on the Camaros. A base and an upgrade on seats and door cards. My 85 Z28 had 305 with TPI and an automatic. VR rated tires but only an 85 mph speedometer. That was a joke. Had a terrific suspension. Hood had louvers. Power windows and hatch were on the console.

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

I’ve owned four of these beginning in 1986 when I purchased my first one. While this is a cleaner car it is not a 14,000 mile car. A 14k car would be pristine underneath, up top and inside. No chance a 14k car would have aftermarket Accel decals on the rad support either. These cars with low mileage are very special to the iroc community and would have been cared for meticulously. There would not be any crustiness underneath. Those seats are not original, the radio either. The door panels are from a 88 up car but the arm rest rests appear to be correct for an early iroc. Great car just the same as it is a true iroc based on your description of the vin. I’ve got some videos of my black 85 Ls swapped Iroc if you care to see. Enjoy it.

[@OKHotrodder4u]

I have one in my backyard just like that one rotting. Gold wheels, decals and all. But I'm not the owner. I'm a retired mechanic but still do stuff for people. The car belongs to a teacher who taught both my older and middle sons in jr high school years ago. He's still a teacher, and I still work on his families vehicles. He asked me to store it for him because he was moving and couldn't take it to his new place. He said one day he'll get to it. I feel it'll be sitting back there for the rest of its life. The teacher drove it to school when he was younger. I've never messed with it, never heard it run. From what he told me, he only parked it because it wasn't suitable for a family car. I've had it in my possession for four years now.

[@kenneththomas1062]

It's TPI or Tuned Port Injection & is the exact mpfi that was on the C4 as well as the 305 that was standard in the 5 spd cars. The 305 cars had an 85mph speedo while the 350 cars had a 115 and later a 145.

[@ishalljr]

Definitely going to have to show the finished product!

[@KristieWilson-t4h]

My first car was the 86 IROC Z. Kept car for 25 years. My daddy bought me the car of my dreams.

[@robertwalton9130]

These guys are the real deal. My 96 Lincoln markviii turned out awesome ❤. Thanx RJ

[@Rob4real-qi6hg]

That is my dream car my uncle had one when I was a kid I dream of owning one of those man you guys are so lucky beautiful car

[@robertgendernalik4360]

Please see if ia can fine a 1962 Thunderbird. Had one in highschool in 1970 and loved it. Was a beautiful burgandy with cream white interior, big V8 with glass packs.

[@GlennFroese-r8r]

You guys are the best. Great work with doing that for Mike's dad. Love his reaction - looks like a new truck.

[@brandonGCHACHU]

I had an 86 back in college like 1995. Paid $2400 for it with 90k miles. Had so much fun in that thing

[@MasterOrona]

17:30 Also had an ‘85 IROC-Z. It definitely had that same TPI intake with dual air filters
