1985 Camaro IROC-Z BUILD #14. Build is finished ! What did it cost to buy and build? Test drive !!

In this video I go over the cost to buy and build this 1985 IROC-Z and do a test drive! I put on new emblems, decals and pinstripes and paint some areas matte black.

Massive amount of work to get this one going, but you did it and it runs and drives and looks pretty good 👍 The little details you did at the end definitely made it.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@gregt722]

Lee! You brought this car back from the dead! It’s a great driver! You’ll eventually find a parts car and get all the parts you need.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@DanzigDemento]

I think you’d get top dollar with a Polish of the paint job.
Back in the late 80’s those cars were everywhere.
I called them U2 cars cause it seemed everyone said U got one too?
Hanging out at the Jersey shore we said IROC stood for Italian Ret**ts Out Cruising.😂🤣😂
I get the door guards but don’t like the way they look.
Good job Lee!

[@aaronhilsinger]

Its value is growing. Hang onto it, keep your eyes open for parts and pick the project back up later. Nice work!

[@tuck6464]

The nicest thing I can come up with about the IROC build is , no comment.
You can't win them all. You've had a good run lately, the last 4 or 5 builds were pretty decent.

[@MichaelSmith-wb1es]

Looks good but I'd paint the door handles and locks black as well.

I love my 92, I’ve had it since 96 and it ain’t going anywhere.

[@indyogbpurdue9966]

Nicely done. I used to get so sick of these; they were everywhere in '80s and '90s. Now, on the rare occasion I see one, they make me feel nostalgic. :D

[@clunkersandclassics]

not many left driving around

[@shangrila66]

And once again a very good job done. She looks good. Perfection in budget builds is overrated. I prefer your YT channel over others because you are honest and always work the way , like I and many others did in the 80s and 90s .

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@icuranis4597]

You did very well considering the car's starting condition. When selling, we go through several low ballers before finding the one person who appreciates the car. Don't get discouraged. I probably over paid for my Firebird but, I got a quality conditioned example.

[@michaeljankowski8036]

The Camaro will look so much better with the Decals on the doors.
Looks FANTASTIC

[@clunkersandclassics]

it has the decals on the doors

[@michaeljankowski8036]

Sorry I wasn't paying attention

[@michaeljankowski8036]

I hope that you are not upset with me making a mistake.

[@michaelbristol6467]

Do the door handles and locks flat black, spraybomb will do. Looks good brother! Walmart $30 seat covers.👌

Cars turned out nice lee for all the agrgrovation it caused you,hats off to you, ide love to see a walk round of the cars you have built but not seen in detail on the channel, the pontiac,nova, ect dig them out see them running you got quite the collection growing now going to need some more cover for them,always enjoy your builds all the best 👍

Where’s the cats at? Car looks great

[@MichaelSmith-wb1es]

That's right. I haven't seen the cats in a while.

[@mikecore1637]

My friends and I use to back yard paint 3/4 acre lots , lots of room .We made a booth that looked like an old shed with an aluminum floor and doors out of a wrecked semi trailer , worked well. One day the fire department payed us a visit and said no more .Was it the paint smell in the air or too many clunkers now looking good ? Those were fun fun times .

[@drewdougan]

Man, I subscribed to your channel because you do Working Class rebuilds. I'm thoroughly impressed by your work. I've really enjoyed all of your builds. The Chevelle, The Silverado, and now this IROC-Z! These are some of my All-Time favorite cars and trucks. My jaw hit the floor when you revealed the final product. No, it's not a Concours quality build. But it it looks AMAZING to me! Cheers!

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

That car would be great for a young guy or a great starting point for a iroc guy who wants just a clean driver to enjoy. Looks right fine to me.

[@mikeberry2135]

Great job! Nice car for the money you have in it. You didn’t include your costs for paint prep materials. Primer, abrasives, masking supplies etc. But I’d say you still could make a decent profit if you decide to let it go. Really enjoy your channel

[@clunkersandclassics]

You're right, I forgot. About $100 worth.

[@dongibson3592]

Looks great Lee! amazing difference from what it was. great job

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@keithroute8906]

Totally not worth restoring but you saved that car and you will make a little money on it when you sell it. Nice work and thriftiness on the build. You did great and I hope you find a buyer when the time comes. Way to keep it real and way to show and inform new people to the hobby what it really takes to refurbish and build cars.

Good build. Now for a series on buying scrap cars and sell parts etc to generate funds for more carports to get these cars out of the weather

[@FiresideCoffee]

The flat black areas that you did really set it off. If the tires will need to be replaced anyway, white letters out would really set it off.

[@CW-user]

Nice build. I agree with you, they are not worth a ton of money, but I think their body style is only second to the first generation Camaros in looks.

I like it you made it look 100% better a good price on it I enjoyed build of it but if you think about it the front seats you have the bottom is it still die the two top make it blend in or just leave it like it is and somebody will put some seat covers on it open up the older ones I'll be watching on the next bill you do a great job

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⛵ yes the paint looks a little dry but overall it's an awesome looking car Lee. Somebody buys it they can cut and buff if they like. You took a derelict pile of crap and turned it into a decent driving vehicle, that's all you need. Keep up the great work and the awesome content buddy 👍✌️🇺🇲

Its a diamond in the rough for now you will pick up trim at swap meets over time and complete it unless you sell and 5 grand sounds cheap.

If it's pinging, it means the distributer is too far advanced. Back it off gradually and test it until it stops pinging but not too far to where it's retarded. Looking good!

Hey Lee, it's amazing all the work you do. Question, how is the POR 15 holding up on the frame and undercarriage on some of your older builds? Any rust coming back or peeling? I'm restoring an old Pontiac and want to use the best product. Great job as usual. Thanks, take care and keep up the good work.

[@clunkersandclassics]

POR15 is a permanent fix over rust

[@goneplatinumpaintlessdentr3102]

Lee can you take it to hot rod power tour please

[@markstangsn9518]

Did you ever move that one side of the exhaust muffler to the back and maybe a mobile detailer can come out and buff it out for few bucks
