- Anyone that would like to see what happened to this car after I sold it should visit www.thirdgen(dot)org. Go to the message boards and do a search for "4.3 mile IROC-Z". There are informative comments along with videos and pictures of the car cleaned up and running. All the people that have commented how much work would be needed to clean it up and get it running are proved wrong. The car was sold by that owner over a year ago at a Mecum auction for $27K and has yet to surface again.
This deserves to be in a museum what a movie icon of the 80's era
I was a mechanic at a Chevrolet dealer's garage during the time this car came out. All of us in the shop got to check in new cars and prep them for sell. The IROC's paid more because there was more to getting them ready. At 7:29 minutes the man talking says he doesn't know why the passenger side doesn't have plastic on it. The drivers side has plastic on it to protect it from getting dirt or grease on the interior panel between the factory and the dealer. The passenger side didn't require any plastic. I got to check in a 1987 Buick GNX also. The best part was taking those cars for a test drive to make sure everything was working as it should.
I've never wanted to wash a car so bad in my life lol.
Agreed
Hahaha, i was thinking the same thing!
I was hoping they would wash it.
What no rims
That Chicago Guy lmao
This car needs to go to a museum of automobiles without question, a very fine example of preserving an original masterpiece.
It’s only a 4.3 liter the true iroc z was 5.7 with a tpi still a good find but the 5.7 was a beast
I had one same year. Sick fuckin car. Til I partied one night and totaled it. Yes, I am a dumbshit. Now I drive a fuckin mini-van.
Hey man you win some you lose some. You'll win again one day.
+Phillip Exeterblue I killed a Camaro, too. They have hard lives.
LOL
I'm in a van now to. I wrecked my 1984 Camero

Gotta love a speedometer that only goes to 80.
"Sir do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
"80?"
hahah..lol
Good thing it won't hit 88mph and go Back in Time...😆

@@kenji_Noir lol
It goes to 85. Heh Heh... I have had a bunch of these cars.
It's missing the factory gold chain that came with it.

+iTheGeek HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Great point.
It's missing the AC/DC back in black cassette tape and my 15 year old 1985 ass in the seat.
This video is over 10 years old. Thanks TH-cam 😂
Edit: Thanks for the likes guys!
And the car is still new....
Weird algos
thanks for what? is this your vid or car?
Greg Williams no I thanking the people for the likes on my comment!!
@@nikorimac3094 edit: nobody cares.
That's every car enthusiast's dream. This is the first case I've come across where the vehicle still has the factory wrapper,writtings,price tag, etc. This trailer find is just amazing, my question is, how did it end up in the trailer and so as the plymouth?
I had a 89' back in the day. The year I graduated. Mine had cross fire FI, It was pretty fast. Memories... Man time Flys! The good old days what I would do to go back
im looking for a time machine to back to 80,s Mike n if i find one ill bring u along also and we can have a blast.id have my great physique back along with the broads,money and great times
Wonder if it has that new old car smell.
+DYNO DON
My thoughts as well. GM cars of the era had a somewhat unique smell
It does
hakim farhat m. Mhm Hyde
DYNO DON watch the where is it now video to find out
smells like a damp rug, Any car that sits like that is fucked, All the seals rubber everything is gone.
Still one of the best car videos on TH-cam...never gets old
I remember when I picked up my brand new 1985 IROC, of course it was at the dealer and clean and shiny. :)
What color? I'm guessing Green
@@Forgemno in '85 they only came in red, white, yellow, black and bright blue metallic. Mine was bright blue.
A friend of mine bought one just like this in 1984. I remember going to the dealership with him to pick it up. It was also a 5 speed. It was a great car. But he could never beat me in my 1975 Hurst Trans Am :) What a great find. Thanks
+MrTropics64 your 75 also had a small block 400
You are correct:)
MrTropics64 That’s because it was a TA. I’m still sad they are no more. I know you can buy an after market one but it’s not the same...

Recorded with a 24 year old video camera for authenticity
This video is about 10 years old. TH-cam started about 10 years ago. When TH-cam first started they were only 240! Then a bit later 360 came along. Then 480 we got. Then we got 720 later, and the list goes on. So, actually, it was probably uploaded with the highest quality video TH-cam accepted at the time.
1969L78Nova It wasn't even the camera... Is was the date / time. TH-cam didn't even have HD video upload capabilities at time of this video posters upload.
Earthling1984 youtube is 12 years old dumb bitch so you are saying if they upload the video all over again its going to work on 1080p
Earthling1984 its the camera
Earthling1984 didnt expect to see you on a car video. Love ur hedgie vids man!
I had an '86 in highschool back in the mid-late 90's. Always loved these. This is amazing.
Well now wait a second, if this car has been untouched and it's still in pristine, ''new'' condition... Why does it not have factory wheels? Something seems fishy. I come from a big Chevrolet family, I had some of my kin take a look, and they all agree. We know a lot about Chevrolet and reading the comments you do as well. It makes me proud seeing so many fellow Chevrolet brothers and sisters on TH-cam. My grandfather owned Novas, my dad owned these, and of course me being the new, younger generation took a liking to... the Corvette. I love Corvette's so much I even made a song about one. Could you please take a listen and help a young kid out? If you liked the song come back and like this comment so everyone knows it was worth the short listen!
I think it has the factory roller wheels. They would get replaced at the dealer maybe.
here is your answer! "
My buddy Jason at Katech turned me on to this incredible find. A brand new 1985 Camaro IROC was purchased right off the delivery truck from the factory and put into storage for 24 years.
The wheels were to be swapped with with aftermarket but the owner never got around to it. Ah... If I didn't already have 2 vettes, a supercharged SS Silverado, a chopper and my restored '89..."
Jeff Hanshew the original wheels was sold to help start the build. The car was bought with the sole purpose of making a streetrod www.thirdgen.org type in the search 4.3 mile iroc
do you know why? because the guy who bought it he bought it for to get the rims and leave the car there he didnt want the car he wanted the rims he switched them with those :P
SgtBlackburn5 This car clearly was never put up for sale, dealer I imagine would've installed the correct ones.
Many haters of these third gen cars..Personally, I love them.
Everyone else should think like you?
Great in the snow, hung out with some guys that always showed up when it snowed. We had a huge parking lot to play in, and the cops didn't care! I had a second gen, but the IROC was just a crazy donut and drift car in snow!
Imagine a Camaro selling loaded for that price today. Dealers couldn't keep them on the lot long enough lol. And that's the problem today's cars are far from reach for the average worker.
So true.
Correct
That's $40K in today's money. You can get a new Camaro for that.
You do realize $16,000 in 1985 was equivalent to $40,000 today, right?
@@scottsmith31 true. 16k in the 80's was more achievable. 40k today when most people are making 80's salary is far from their reach.
How is the finder of this Z not acting like a fan-man ("fan girl"). This automobile is absolutely a beautiful find. Still wrapped, 4 miles! Hot dam I would have been ecstatic ear to ear smile. I would keep it as is and that would be my ride or die babe. Till the end. Awesome find to whomever found this.
Honestly if I'd of owned it I would have cleaned it up and got it back mint and then drove it every single day thereafter.I hate guys who buy cars for their low miles just so they can stare at them all day everyday.Cars are meant to be driven,I understand how you would feel quilty putting miles on a car with so little on it but I'd feel even more quilty for not letting it soak up those miles like it was intended to do.
MrSteveo114 yup, yup, your mind set is gold
Alvaro Lopez don't get me wrong I understand the mindset these people have but its just not something I could do personally.For me a car is meant to be driven,that tachometer was put in that car to go up and not sit still.
I purchased a Toyota Chaser from Japan awhile back with only 34,000km on the clock.So many people were telling me not to drive it because of the low miles and its unbelievable clean condition.I just laughed and said"care and attention is all this car needs to remain flawless and that's exactly what I'll give it"
Well it just clicked over to 250,000km's the other day and it still runs perfect and looks better than it ever did before!People tend to forget that a mint car can always be a mint car if only you are willing to keep it that way,keeping a car mint doesn't require parking it in a heated garage all day and never driving it.
There's nothing sadder to me than seeing a car not driven.
You all are wrong! A "barn - find" in this condition is far more VALUABLE, than a same make / model / year car restored! Like, 2 -3 TIMES MORE valuable.
Robert Schreiber pipe the fuck down will ya,we're not talking about value here we're talking about how it's a shame to not drive a car simply because it has low miles.A car is meant to be driven it's that simple,if you want something pretty to look at then buy a fucking painting.
LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN! LET'S GIVE A GREAT ROUND OF APPLAUSE, TO SUCH A FINE JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MRSTEVEO114, HASN'T A SINGLE CLUE! FORGIVE HIM. HE'S ONLY STUPID. AND, WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT.......... BUY A PAINTING? WHAT IS THIS? A 1985 MODEL CAR, WITH 5 MILES ON IT! REALLY, MRSTEVEO114?

Definitely. the roadrunner is worth a lot more.

@@beatsworking1525 lmfao

Black, T-tops, 5spd......and BAM the base LG4 :/ Like meeting the "Perfect girl" and finding out she has 5 kids
To my knowledge this had the LB9 I think it was called. The LG4 was an earlier motor. Btw to the 305's defense when modified it reaches the same hp/L as a modified 350 so then it becomes more of a matter of more displacement.
Wow, all the hateful comments and downing of this amazing find. For those who claim 'a modern Kia could outrun it', I have to be one old enough to remember when these were the 'style', and I hate to break it to you kids, but one of the first things many did was pull that 275-hp 305 and drop in 400+ 'replacements' with a Borg-Warner T10. These cars were low 15's stock, the 5-speeds could get into the high 14's, and I don't know a Kia yet that can do this for $16k and with a clean-up 30 years later, turn $27k at a Meccam's Auction with a minimal clean-up investment. FYI, the 64-1/2 Mustangs were almost all 6-cylinder 'economy' cars, too - they were (and are) STILL an investment. Go play with your 'good-for-one-year' iPhone version whatever.
a borg warner 4 speed huh, i love you jackoffs that talk about cars after you read a few magazines, where did you get that trans, and very few used the 400 because it was junk, i should stay away from these comments, i know 8 yr old kids that know more than most of the morons wannabes
I know Kia Soul that can smoke this
Skeeter Saurus The Kia stinger would destroy this car
Dude the Kia Optima does the 1/4 mile in 14.9
The cadenza does it in 14.1
The fucking forte does it on 15.4!
The Sedona freaking van does it in 15.5
And the Kia stinger does ot in 13.2.

David, how would you like to put a brand new 1990 Formula 350 in the bone yard too!! I have one for sale. 9190 miles. Documented.
85 was the first year of the iroc
that car will be worth a lot of money 31 years ago.
chieftp worth double the sticker of then
Time Machine Toy Show
if it sold for that. did it?
28 grand at auction
chieftp It would be worth way more money now...JS
adjust for inflation and it would have been about $37,000 now
Should have contacted GM to see if they wanted it for the museum! They probably would have paid good coin for it too.

Haha see more of these on the road still than the fall apart fox body's
@Joel Osteen you prlly drive a fucking Kia
Relax, it's only a rattle box 80's camaro
So what happen to the IROC FACTORY RIMS
And tires! Same thing I was wondering!
If you notice the car was very low in the back of a trailer so I'm quite sure all 4 tires were flat so they replaced them with 4 tires so they can move the vehicle out the truck.
@@Scott-px6mi How is anyone going to fit in there to remove and replace the wheels? There's no room. They drug it out with a winch, anyhow. They could do that even if it had flat tires.
You didn’t see them on the flatbed? They were at the front of the flatbed by the wench.
sweet 70 Roadrunner sitting in front of the Camaro as well
Thank you, I was trying to figure out what the other car was.
how come the blue car in front of it is clean with no dust ?
John Branski,
the answer to your question is quite simple, the dust was on the car before it was put in the container. You don't get dust in a sealed container.
XE521 well a semi trailer isnt exactly airtight, but i guess that does make sense. Especially considering the changed tires and the hand prints and such even though we didnt see anyone touch the car. I never thought about the possibility of it being dusty already
if that was me looking at the car I would be squealing like a happy pig. That was a time capsule at its best.
Lol 😂
I'm collecting dust too right now, in my recliner chair
makes me sad to know that this car will probably never be driven, cars don't like to sit around they like to drive
Brand new car with those wheels and tires?? The tires aren't even the same all around
the guy that purchase this was going to turn it into a street rod ...he sold the tires to contribute to the project that never happened
it amazes me how many people point out the tires....anybody read the other posts?
Randel Dumas I c. Look suspect
Wrong! Chevy shipped these with steelies because customers had the option to choose a la carte wheel options that the dealer would install before handing it over to customer.
Ronin_69
Those rims and tires were put on before storing. There’s zero chance those wheels came on that car from the factory. No sense letting the car sit on the original rubber.
Screw the 'maro. I want the 70 Plymouth that was in the front
yes why does the fuck they left it??!!!?!?!
*****
where do you see it ??
God damn a iroc in that shape is gotta be worth $700, maybe $800. Them some lucky boys.
Sold for 27k @ auction
@Steve Campbell take a look at their horrible hp/liter, they lacked power, that generation is probably the Camaro's worst
@@TheJerrydon575 how much did they pay? If thats all they paid 4 that car, they basically stole that car if it was almost never ran. What a lucky SOB!!!
David Troia I would rather have that roadrunner myself tho
I'd be worried about cussing the name of God!
to bad it's an 80's "Muscle Car". Would have been sick it were a late 60's or early 70's Muscle car. Either way pretty cool find.
There's a '70 Roadrunner in the trailer also.
Buick Bubba I noticed that
probably needs a new paint job
Buick Bubba I was just about to post about that. I think that's even more remarkable. If the IROC has been there that long, the Roadrunner has got to be in pretty amazing shape too.
You realize after all the safety laws in about 92 (the last year of this generation camaro) they made a 25th anniversary edition with a 350 and the z/28s deducted a bunch of weight yet added parts. They are actually mean little cars. Stock they run a 1/4 mile in late 14 seconds
I've always been curious - how do you sell something from a "barn find?" Is the barn property yours? If not, how do you claim it? What if the original owner is dead?
if you buy the property say from a deceased estate and it has a shed/barn on it and the seller (relatives/bank/government) do not clear out what is in there, its legally yours since it is considered "abandoned property".
If its something with traceable tags like a car, probably best run the vin through to the police to make sure its not stolen before you try and sell it.
001Andrew100
The thing is...if the car was stollen on the way to dealer?
CapitainJack0502 it would be highly unlikely but still, tracing the vin number will show if its ever been recorded as stolen.
depending on the state if a car sits on your land for long enough u can file for a title registered owner then has like 90 days to remove it or its yours
MultiMe1990
okay, so what happens if it's NOT on your land? for example, there's an abandoned house near my gf's house. sitting in the front lawn is a red trans am that is unlocked. it's in pretty rough shape. if i wanted to claim it, how would i do it?
well it can't be that brand new if it's missing its rims those are the rims that came with from the factory they didn't come with snow tires on the back of it obviously it's been driven and stored that way
You must not have watched the whole video
This is like having a dream of finding an untouched old car. Except it's in real life
Those wheels and tires are not original-
Maybe placed on because it was stored?
Who cares.This video is 10 years old.All questions probably answered by now.
@@ahti29 sweet response!
ahti29 you watched this video. and then you read the comments. And then you commented yourself. Do you see where im going with this?
I noticed that too, those wheels are ugly as fuck
Or it was harder to trace back wheels than the whole car
I was REALLY LUCKY in high school I see now better! I had a Black/Gold trim 85' IROC-Z!! It was In perfect shape! Bought it off the lot at a small local dodge dealership in 1992 for I believe $5,800! Flawless shape with the good 16'' rims, T-tops, and I had a pussy magnet installed (not really but kinda lol)! Had no troubles going thru girls. SHIIIT now I'm gonna have to start shopping for one again! It was real fast! I moved fro iowa to cali when I was 18yrs old not knowing a single person there! Once I got there I traded for a PERFECT midnight smoke green Mustang 5.0 gt hatchback! I'm NOT a ford fan whatsoever but I had always wanted one! Mustang "felt quicker" when driving... But hands down my iroc wudda walked it!! Now Im older and have totally redone an 80' Malibu! Sleeper look but fun to mess with young kids in dad's car! They never expect what happens when they pull up and say green let's go!! awwhhh to go back to the high school days!! Best Days of ANYONES life! To bad we never believed that when we were that age huh?!?! bEe--
I'm way more interested in the story of how and why it ended up getting put away like that.
It didn't even have the dealer prep work done to it, as the front air dam is still in its packaging and the plastic wrap is everywhere, and it wasn't a rare or special enough model at the time for anyone (sane) to want to preserve like that either. And what happened to the original wheels?
Still, its a great find and a piece of history.
I worked in the new car dept as a tech prepping and checking the new cars as they came from the factory at a chevy dealership in costa mesa ca the year that these first came out.... So for me to see one again after all these years with the sticker etc still on it is really a trip... When the very first few of the IROC's started coming in they all had some issue that made the check engine light be on/stay on... Its been a long time since then and I don't recall all the details exactly but as I recall it was a known issue on all of them but was deemed not a real problem. more of a malfunction in the check engine light itself. An official service bulletin had not been put out yet on how to correct it but there were people who had already bought and paid for there cars and wanted them.. So, and I don't know if this happened at all dealerships or only at the one I worked at but the order came down for me to just disconnect the check engine light and sign off on the cars and let them go... I can understand the logic there at least how it was presented to me at that time but still it was my name and word on that paperwork and I did not like at all being forced to say everything was fine with a vehicle when I knew there was some issue and was told to hide it.... Very shortly after that or perhaps at the same time myself and my dirrect boss and another coworker were all talking as another tech was prepping a new pickup when all of us heard something hit the funnel as some oil was being put in. the tech actually working on it saw it was a small nut but was not quick enough to do anything and it went into the engine... We all tried trying to see it in there and the tech who's job it was tried like heck to fish it out with a magnate but nothing worked.. the sales manager came back saying the guy who bought it and was waiting was a real prick and pitching a bitch so the call was made to just let him take it and deal with any issues in warranty if problems arose... You know, I can then and now see the logic in those calls. But my word means something to me and I just could not live with being forced to do things I thought not right so I quit that job, partly over those IROC's..... Seeing this brings that all back up... Really my only point here is i sure wonder if when they get it started if that check engine light is going to be stuck on or not..... Im not really sure what the first year was and maybe this is later so it would not apply... but a bit of inside trivia for anyone interested anyways..... I know and see all the time a 69 shelby gt350 thats been burried in a garage for over 20 years and looks all orig and flawless under all the dust... I hope I get to post a video of it one day if i ever talk the guy into pulling it out....
You are so nice sincere person,telling the truth is gods love people like u,hopefully u doing well and succes whatever in ur lifes,im from malaysia.a wise men lovers
What's the story on that B-5 blue 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner sitting in front of the Z-28? The owner mentions "take some pictures of the Roadrunner too!" The Roadrunner would be worth way more than the Z if it's in the same condition as the Z.
Did it still have a new car smell inside?
lol
doubt it. probably smells like the moldy old trailer it was in
in the aftermath he says it still smells new
how could it smell like the moldy old trailer it was in when all the windows and all the doors are closed?
reply please

I would just take the gauge cluster out and disconnect the speedometer. Fix the car and drive it. Forever having 4.3 miles :)
Vehicle speed sensor would not let car run very good, or very long. ECM needs speed info.
not on a car this old. computer has nothing to do with the speedometer on this year camaro.
malthof200 not anything prior 91
If im not mistaken i believe the 92 camaros were still able to do this. any other cars im not sure of but i had a 92 Camaro and it has a cable driven speedometer i think. not sure.
James Nicholson wrong. 92 is electric
When that car came out i wanted one so bad it hurt . My rich Uncle bought both my girl cousins brand new Irocs we all went to the same high school i drove a old mazda pickup i found in a backyard . The day they got em both of them bitched and cried literally tears because they weren't the right color no joke . I realized at that moment rich kids suck I bought a used one years later It took me years to rebuild it , wile i worked at a sawmill all week and fought MMA in casinos on weekends . It wasn't as nice as theres but knowing how hard i worked and the pain and hard times i went thru to earn it every drive was nothing but pure happyness and pride . Just recently i had to sale my GSXR 1000 I rebuilt . It was my baby but a family member got seriously sick so i sold it . I live 30 minutes past Seattle and im trying to find a good deal on another sport bike now ive done it before ill do it again . Its awsome to see someone finding a treasure like this congrats fellas.
I'm confused as to why anyone would think this is fake? It has roller transport steel wheels the interior clearly shows no wear or sun damage, ofcourse it won't be flawless the car has still existed on earth since 1985
+jamison s They didn't ship with steel wheels-they shipped with the aluminum wheels with the centers in a box in the hatch area. PDI'd many new GM cars in my day.
+jnf91 but who's them? In 30 plus years it could have been shipped around many times by different people
+jamison stagaard General Motors. Actually, out here it was Jack Cooper Transport to the dealers. The point is, this car was delivered to the original dealer with the aluminum wheels. This is no way suggests this car is not legitimate-it simply had it's original wheels removed for whatever reason.
What I meant was over all these years the car could have gone through many hands, my uncle at one point bought an 80's Camaro about 5 years ago from a wealthy man who bought it new and put it in a garage. My uncle bought it from him with plastic on the seats and all and sold it within a few hours. Who's to say this hasn't been shipped to different people and gone through different hands in all these years even while in that shipping container. At some point someone thought to put crap wheels on for transport.
somebody stole the IROC package off it. the wheels, front lip, and rear louvers. all but the decals lol
What!?!?!?!! Very cool. Now I feel like watching reruns of “Miami Vice”. You be Crockett and I’ll be Tubbs.
How's the tires filled with air for 25 years im skeptical
I wonder why it has those ugly rims on it?
@@HEADBANGRR when you buy a car like this and it isnt registered ,titled or run through the dealer procedure of customer pick up,this is how they are delivered
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411
Oh ok. Thanks for the info.
Hey!! I like this car! It's from 1985,when I was 17 and high school! Let me relive! Those memories!! It's been 34 years now! A looking time ago!!! Now is It here 51..My GOD!
The thing that sucks is I couldn't use the cassette player since my music collection is on 8 track tapes. 😞
I'm guessing that engine is the L69 305 with a whopping 190 horsepower. Still a cool car though.
190hp on this car is different than 190 in a Civc or SI. This thing is making peak torque at 3200rpm.
alexinnitro2 Oh I know, my first car was an 84 Camaro with the L69, I know these cars all too well. It was still slower than shit dude.
Nope, the low output LG4 (VIN code H). Manual trans 85-up Z-28 and IROCs were all the low output carbed motors till 88 when they went to the TBI injection. I dont think the TPI was ever available with a manual, I know it wasn't up til 90 anyway...
a1veedubber You're right, the L69 had dual snorkel intakes.The LG4 was a dog, my Camaro had that engine until I found a wrecked 84 Z28 with an L69 and did a swap, it was better, but not by much. The TPI 5.0 was available with a 5 speed, but the TPI 5.7's were all automatics.
a1veedubber you could get a 5.0 tpi with 5 speed starting in 86 I believe....I own a 88 tpi 5 speed iroc with the G92 package its a fun car
Who stores a modern car minutes after purchase? Thieves?
I once did a safety inspection on a Hemi Super Bee with the original oil filter. I was afraid to touch it!
Collectors. Similar to vintage toys in the package.
@victorgonzalez97 my guess is a rich guy with a lot of property didn't want wifey to know, the car didn't get delivered due to a mistake in bill of laden or thieves
@victorgonzalez97 right. I love Monte Carlo s. I got an 88 ls I'm building a 350 for.
@victorgonzalez97 okay! My stepdad had ordered an Iroc in 88. But when he came from overseas they didn't have the blinds on the back window he ordered. Wound up with a Cougar. It was okay. The Iroc, he'd probably STILL have. My Monte is like the one in the Str8 outta Compton movie. Thanks for the kind words.
I just bought an '85 Firebird today. It is crazy how similar these 2 cars are. Basically the same thing with a different badge, and different bumpers.
Ok i finally clicked this video over years.
I can almost hear a "Kool & the Gang" cassette tape playing on the stereo !
You mean journey
Thats pretty damn cool. I'd love a find like that. Driving anything that old the way it came right off the showroom floor would be awesome no matter what car. But a manual Z28 is just an awesome find. Any video's of this thing cleaned up with some new wheels?
th-cam.com/video/sy8lSv35iEQ/w-d-xo.html
Here’s that vid you wanted
T-Tops (They all leaked) manual trans and the upgraded interior! I had an 89. Loved that rattle box. Flexed like crazy, the car would literally twist when you floored it. Fun cars, would love to have one in pristine condition. 15 second car.
Amazing that this video is almost ten years old and people still trying to claim its fake. The car is real. Original owner sold the wheels to fund the racecar project he planned for this car. Front splitter was in the backseat. Those didn't get installed until PDI at the dealer. Yes it was possible to refuse PDI, therefore you got the car with all of the plastic inside, etc. TPI was an option on IROC in 85, rear discs were option on IROC in 85, 145 speedo wasnt until mid year 86. The car now sits in a small museum in Tennessee.
Finally someone with some common sense. Who would go through the effort of covering this vehicle in plastic from the dealer (and furthermore where would you find it?), putting the original sales sheet, and not to mention rolling the odometer, and all for the purpose of tricking some people on TH-cam. It's truly mind boggling how jaded people are from seeing so much garbage on the Internet
somebody obviously worked at a dealership
It funny how this cars interior is so much like the 85 Fiero GT
Wheres the FACTORY MAG WHEELS ?
thepatriotsrock2 it was an option to order them with different wheels. My uncle has one EXACTLY like this. He bought new only has 35k miles on her.
@@RoGuExPaNcAkE so you could order PLAIN STEEL Rims on the car ? I remember when I got mine it had mags on them.
My friends dad won the lottery in the 80's a bought a brand new iroc drove it for a week and parked it I mean it has less than 1k miles on it. His dad passed away so it's now his car and still sitting in the same place it's been.
Was unaware that they came equipped with snow tires.
I am more interested in the Road Runner in front of the Z28
Doc Brown and Marty are gonna wonder where there back up time machine went?
My step father has a 89 with 63 thousand original miles on it that car is one of my fav of all time number one is a grand national ✊🏾✊🏾
Those cars were the easiest cars to steal back in the day...
Nearly all GMs
BUT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT IS WORTH A HELL OF LOT MORE MONEY
That's what I was thinking! Fuck the IROC....get me the keys to that Mopar!
Yeah but its probably not factory fresh.
@@jeffstrohman6282 dont matter it's still worth money
I'm curious why the mopar is so clean not dusty but in front of this one and this one was just found and hasn't seen daylight???
How tire is still inflated ?? Filled with Kryptonite ?
Excellent question! How is that possible! The tires are wrong too. They could have changed the tires before shooting the video, but you would have to take the car out to change them right? Maybe, just maybe they could have squeezed in there to put those tires on it
Michael Bauers not
Michael Bauers could have been a base modle car
thandermax
Depending on the state--i.e. down south/doesn't get too cold--the tires will actually hold air pressure for some years.
the tires were flat gomer do those look like original wheels not at all they just slapped em on to get it out
7:30 factories usually dont put protective wrapping on the passenger side because most of the inspections are done on the drivers side, the wrapping is there mainly to keep the factory workers footprints out of the carpet and to keep them from scratching something while working.
Edit: so I literally watched the PowerNation video right after this one about this car, and they basically said everything I just did. Oh well.
An amazing find. Thats a true time machine immediately jumping you back 34 years! Incredible.
He’s got the Title, yeah Right. Lmao
I can hear motley crue playing with some guy rocking eye shadow and lipstick
Hell yeah!!!
Take a ride on the
WILD SIDE🤘🤘
These 305 powered Irocs lost a lot of drag races back when I was in high school. The original owner probably lost 3 or 4 drag races on the way home from the dealership and parked and walked away.
Wow, if that 70 roadrunner was sitting in there just as long then that thing is worth some BIG bucks!!! Untouched since 1985.....wow
I would bet $100 this car was stolen back in 1985... Car still has wax pencil factory markings on it and the car is put in the back of a trailer on some old overgrown property for 23 years.... lol.... Yup... I'd bet $100.....
WOW a whole $100!!!! You really are a player. How about we make it $10,000 seeing I bought it from the original owner with all the documentation and clear title. That would be impossible if it was stolen.
Fucking rekt.
I thought the same
smart place to store a stolen car and resurface it 30 years later... interesting
I r
does it have a backup camera?
Lol
Yep, also comes with heated seats, On Star, and XM radio!
scrotum massager?
***** That's the best part of an IROC!!!
Air bags?
Never touched since 1985, but all four wheels removed and replaced with crap, also the rear windshield recently finger marked, wow....
