Memories! I had one that looked just like that in 1987. I was 23, burning up gas, blasting 80’s music, working my a$$ off to make the payments & hit the clubs on Friday n Saturday nights. Great time to be young.
@@RubelessDont be bitter at others for getting girls just cause you couldnt lol. You were most definitely that guy leaning against the wall at lunchhour and after school, giving the Iroc boys at your HS cuteye watching them cruise with all the girls you didnt have to balls to talk to haha.
Absolutely stellar and still do this day at 55 years old, my favorite car Ive ever owned. I had this exact same car, same equipment but with a candy apple red/maroon color with gold accents and red interior. I would do anything to have that car back.
Refreshing to see OWNERS took really great care of their cars. 1987 I was just starting out in my job I was 21. Went to a Chevrolet Dealership and looked Dealer lot full of these IROC-Z prices were out of league $20,000 plus. I saw 1987 Camaro IROC-Z 2 weeks ago color was lemon meringue. Looked great had glass panel roof.
we had one that would just start running badly then strand you, the dealership never figured out why. When you went to the mountains it would crap out then after sitting for a hour it would start. Finally sold it
I remember wanting one of these when I was in high school back in the 80s. They seemed so powerful and fast. I thought the old school V8s that they put in the Mustangs, Corvettes and Z-28s were the end-all and be-all of sports car performance. It's funny because the car I drive now (2023 Acura TLX Type S) will absolutely destroy all of those cars in every conceivable way. I do still love the look of the Z-28s from that era, especially the T-Tops!
I had a 1984 Black & Gold Trans Am. Kept it in immaculate condition for 30 yrs. Rebuilt the engine so it had circa 345 HP. Cried when I sold it. If I had the money & the added space, would have bought this one.
I remember a Chevrolet dealership that had a few of these iroc z in mint shape. I only got to test drive one for a few hours and did not want to return it to the dealer but I did, this masterpiece of a sports car was a lot of fun to drive.
I had a 1986 IROCZ black with a Gold interior & Zebra stripe buckets with the 305 V8...I had the 4 barrel carb version ..I had money issues back in 1999 & had to sell it..I miss it..😢
I owned a candy apple red 86 Iroc with a TPI 305 with t-tops back in my late teens/early 20's (I'm 51 Now). Loved that car. Have definitely owned more powerful and better made autos over the years but there was just something loveable dumb dog-ish about that Camaro.
I've watched hundreds of your videos and love them all! Under the rear hatch you pointed out a sticker which you claimed was the part number. If you check the numbers on that sticker you might discover it is actually the Vin number.
Nice vid! Looks exactly like my 1985, same color combo with about the same milage. Of course, mine has the 5.0 TPI and not the 5.7. 87's 5.7 (225 hp) only had 10 hp more than the 85 (215 hp) 5.0...it was de tuned in 86 with only 190hp for the 5.0. Good to see these cars bringing good money now.
We haven't seen this salesman in close to TEN years, he's been doing this TH-cam gig for that long. It looks as if he lost a ton of weight though. Once was quite hefty. Good for him ! 💯
I bought a brand new 87 IROC with the 5.7 and a 5 speed manual from Klick-Lewis Chevrolet in PA. Seems like a lifetime ago now. Same black/gold color. Man, that car was such a great car for the money.
So how many remember the IROC series. The Cars were picked at random each race, but whoever drove the black one always seemed to win. So much so, that they pulled the car and disassembled it to see why.
I bought a blue 89 iroc z with 5.7, 36k miles. The insurance on it in 98 for 16 year old was 1k a month.. I sold it to get something else. I wish I didn't sell it and just stored it. I drove it a few times and it was a blast.
I had an 87 and loved it, mine had the 305 TPI but it had the navy blue paint and you would touch a flat surface and you could peel the paint off with just your finger like fish scales. Other than that, it was a blast to drive
Wow! Save for the fact it didn't have the obligatory lemon-yellow paint job, the IROC Z was a rolling time capsule, that harkens back to the day of the neighborhood pizanos, tearing up and down the streets ping-ponging from nightclub to nightclub, in that lemon-yellow nightmare, you had a black one or two here and there, with the t-tops off, and the obligatory wife beater, coiffed mullet... feathered to the 'T' with the Italian horn necklace, top speed… blaring the Aldo Nova, I guess for some, those were the days.
had one exactly like it. a 17 year old girl texting t-boned and totaled it. not the fastest car i ever had but definitely was one of the best looking. yes, it was sweet.
My dad had an '86 IROC in Electric Blue. And a buddy of mine had an '87 with the 5.7 in bright white. I thought my dad's was quick, but my buddy's was even quicker.
Nice car, but sold. That said, this is a semi-rich man's car. $55K for an American in 87? I remember those days. The American quality wasn't the best, so it's best to have another $10K set aside for repairs. I had a 85 Pontiac which the tranny would not shift to the higher gear whenever it did feel like to. I had a Dodge Dynasty which used to JERK shift whenever it felt like to. Aside from the American glitches, I love the IROC and the RS of those days. I like the RS even better. They looked a little cleaner.
I bought a '88 Camaro IROC-Z in 1988. It had a 5.7 Tuned Port Injected engine (225 horsepower). It had manual windows and no t-tops. All I was looking for was the larger engine. It was an auto transmission too. It cost me $16,500 plus sales tax. It was pretty quick.
you used to see these IROC camara all the time on the roads in the late 80s and 90s. Then they just disappeared, not a car built for longevity unfortunately. But they are a beautiful time capsule if preserved
these cars were SUPER expensive in 1987 - & insurance was just as expensive - cops would give speeding tickets if you were doing 55.1 ... so, they became "garage queens" for decades !! .... NOW, a tire can cost $100-200 (each)
You're very welcome! Glad you liked the short! The full video actually should have been out before 5 today but sadly we lost power and that set us back a little.
My first car as an 18 year old was a 1987 blue and gold IROC. Still to this day my favorite car I’ve owned
Same here
I always thought the IROC & BUICK Grand Nationals (rare 87 QTY 547 GNX'S were two of the best looking USA made sports cars for 1987).
@@kevinroark5024You mean for their price level, right? What about the 80s Firebirds? Pretty much identical cars, especially the interiors.
It should be placed in a museum to be kept in such a great condition for ever. Beautiful car.
Fcuk that. Drive that beast and enjoy it.
Memories! I had one that looked just like that in 1987. I was 23, burning up gas, blasting 80’s music, working my a$$ off to make the payments & hit the clubs on Friday n Saturday nights. Great time to be young.
I bet it was a wonderful time to be alive. Young and the 1980s. Bet you looked like a baller in this blasting white snake. 😂
It was an awesome time to grow up. I had an old quad 442. Cool car too. Great times.
I bought an 86 IROC-Z black with grey stripes and T-Tops...I was 19 and had a lot of fun with it...took me to college then sold it to my nephew.
What a beauty! Makes me wish it was 1987 again.
Beautiful car. Thank you for putting the stripes back they always look "naked" without them.
Had one of these in my 20s. Maroon with 305 tuned port injection. One of my favorite cars I've ever own. A girl magnet back in the day.
You got no girls with that or anything else.
305…

IROC Z28's will ALWAYS be Badazz !! I had a 1994 Indy 500 Pace Z28. Crossfire Fuel Injected 5-speed. Zero to 115 in half a block...!! Lol
Its just nice to see one in such good condition. Best ive yet to see since HS.
IF only it was a manual :)
I remember when they were new sitting on the showroom floor
This was my first car after my dad bought the Corvette. Love it wish I never get rid of it for sure
we had one that would just start running badly then strand you, the dealership never figured out why. When you went to the mountains it would crap out then after sitting for a hour it would start. Finally sold it
Wouldve loved having this one!
Wanted one of these in the worst way back in high school.
Lucky whoever got it!
Had a blue '86 in highschool back in the '90's. Loved that thing....

The wheels were so ahead of the time. This and GNX are my dream cars
I’m sitting on my balcony now in Kyiv and watching this beautiful and I guess I in love with camaro 1987 ❤

5.7's were only available in automatics
I had the 1989 Camaro RS in blue at 18!
Had a 85. Best looking carmaro ever made in my opinion.

Wow what a gorgeous IROC!! Cleanest I’ve ever seen.
My buddy bought one new right outta highschool in 87 . It was so cool 😎
A friend had this car new, but in red. I drove it several times, was a lot of fun.
I had an 87 and loved it, mine had the 305 TPI but it had the navy blue paint and you would touch a flat surface and you could peel the paint off with just your finger like fish scales. Other than that, it was a blast to drive
Good job putting the stripe kit back on, that's what really makes the IROC.
My brother had a white on tan Iroc just like this back in the day. I've had 4 F bodies and always miss each one.
Bound to be some touch up over the years regardless of miles, but it still looks amazing.
My brother had the V8 RS. Such fun. Bet you could take that Iroc to Mecum auctions.
I had a 1986 IROC same color ,brings back good memories!
I was 19 i had an 85 white iroc t tops 5.0 and in 87 traded it for a blue 87 it was the first year with the 5.7 tpi. Still miss that car 😢
Your cars are magnificent, even if I am in another country, I enjoy watching them.
Wow! Wish I had the money and the garage space for that! I'd jump on that deal! Beautiful IROC-Z and you just don't find them in that nice of shape.
You and me both! I would have kept it!
If i had the money i’d find a junker and restore if with crate motor, performace wise that would be the way to go.
@@vanguardmotorsalesI remember these. Was the glovebox in working order? LOL
Oh. YOU'RE the one.
Beautiful car. Take me back to 87

1 of my dream car...unbelievable and so beautiful.
My first three cars were all 89 irocs. Beautiful
BUYING FROM YOU GUYS IN 2024-GREAT VIDEO REVIEW GREG-AS EVER
I love me a Camaro, and this one is beautiful. 👏👏👍👍👌👌
Damn right got to love those Z28 High school car get them Girls back in the day
An older chic down the street from me in the early 90s had one. White paint...red/gray interior. And a front vanity plate that said:
"I Roc n' Roll" 😉
For a car that was so 90s-like, it was the epitome of the 80s.
Wow that’s one in a million what a beautiful car
I had 2 Iroc-Z. I loved them!
had one exactly like it. a 17 year old girl texting t-boned and totaled it. not the fastest car i ever had but definitely was one of the best looking. yes, it was sweet.
Could have had this exact Camaro in 2010 for $ 9,800 it was just as gorgeous. Tge interior had IROC-Z all
over the seats front and back .
My dad had an '86 IROC in Electric Blue. And a buddy of mine had an '87 with the 5.7 in bright white. I thought my dad's was quick, but my buddy's was even quicker.
Nice IROC!! But being a Pontiac man, I like the Trans Am WS6 of the same year a little better. Not taking anything away from the IROC though
Amazing car Greg,
You said it best, its a true time capsule
Tom has the best cars!

Dam i miss that car same color same year except the interior was gold and i had a pretty blonde in the passenger seat 👍👍👍
Awesome.. I had a red one same year..
I like this car very much 🖤🙌🏻
I got the 88 did bumper to bumper and ground up resto after all you got to keep your 88 straight. Willing to sell, if the price is right
What did it sell for?
They were asking $54k
🤮
$54.900
I absolutely love this car and all iroc z cameros in the late 80s.. my fav!!
But, 54k? Idk.. could get a 2024 mustang GT
I want one restomoded black everything. My favorite generation Camaro. It and the fox body are the 80's incarnate.
Had an '84 Berlinetta in the same black & gold color scheme in high school(08/09) this reminds me a lot of. Except its way better.
I seen a red/maroon one in traffic the other day; I couldn't believe it. They must have all rusted away...
Love these '80s Camaros
Where's the hood blanket? Sweet ride
I had the exact same car . Beautiful 😍
Dad has his black silver 86 that's in pretty decent shape. Not as mint as this, but still a head turner.
Nice! Horsepower left a lot to be desired though.
Yup, all the smog crap, killed the power, and look around, did NOTHING for the CO2.
225 hp was underrated- closer to 280hp according to dyno testing
It seemed pretty good at the time, 37 years ago.
By todays standards, sure. But, it had about as much as a Ferrari 308, which was the premier super of that era.
Exactly. 87 Mustangs had these for lunch. IROCs were lame to everyone but the GM fanboys LOL
My first car! Wish I still had it!
That Irock is super nice
SOLD...
This beauty went fast (in more ways than one)

Now you're going back in time man he's was fun❤👍😁 perfect
My 92 RS heritage just took top 30 in a car show of 154 cars 25,000 original miles even has the original tires on it I wonder what it’s worth
Can't believe this car is already sold.
I'm not surprised at all.
That iroc looks totally mint...a time capsule
I can
Why not !! How much did it go for ? Haven’t even watch the video
My girlfriend back in the late 1990’s had this year Z28. The car was a complete dog.
These cars this clean in this color dont last long
Beautiful IROC Z-28
I miss mine and that’s the truth with high performance modifications top speed at 178mph FLOATIN
What a beauty!
Paintwork is like glass 😊
Always had a soft spot for these but hate that only automatics can be found. Still, this is a really clean example.
I see you guys have a 1975 Cadillac. Will there be a video of it? Thanks.
Yes it should be up tomorrow before noon sometime!
@@vanguardmotorsales Thank you, I really liked the car from the TH-cam short.
You're very welcome! Glad you liked the short! The full video actually should have been out before 5 today but sadly we lost power and that set us back a little.

Are these the cars the Jessie James used to steal when he was a kid? New owner better check the vin on this sold beauty.
