Cool story...too bad its an Iroc

 

I would be much more impressed with say a '70 Mach 1 fastback

[Bernie]

Mom's 1995 Roadmaster excites me more than that one. junk they were !

[GBW]

I would much rather DODGE Little Red Express...

[uglyfish]

what would u like to do to feel young today

 

id like to relive the 80s

 

on second thought, ill just stick to my diet pepsi. lol

[tschirk]

'89 5.0L 5 speed stick Mustang w 1200W of Alpine+ Sub....man did that ever rock my world!.... I traded it for a chev minivan...ughhhh

[OhioFisherman]

Apparently no one would bid enough to get to the reserve, story does sound fishy. Give me a 70 1/2 z-28 over it any day.

Cars worth about a Hundred / Hundred and Fifty Bucks

Yeap, broke down at 4 miles on the way home took it back too the dealer and it was out of warranty cause he drove it off the lot. Cost 25,000 to fix the engine, breaks everything else that broke from the factory.

 

Guy figures he might get some money for the rims and trashed the car.

 

Good old Mid 80's north american made car.

 

How a lot has changed since the mid 80's

I was 10 when these Irocs came out ,few guys around town had them with Loud Exhausts, just always stuck with me I guess

I had an 84 Z28 H.O, and loved it.

Wiped any mustang that was around

In 84 all they had was a 305 HO 4 barrel carb. No 350. And they were notoriously gutless wonders. A paltry 190 hp@4800 rpm with somewhat respectable torque 240lb/ft@3200. Somebody put a 350 in yours by mistake -right? Here's my whistle

Not much of a car enthusiast, but bought myself a '86 RS Camaro in 1990 as a gift to myself for graduating college. I put 300,000kms on it and had few mechanical problems.

[Raf]

slow slug my old turbo 4 banger made them look silly

[bow slayer]

I use to regularly embarress the owners of the Irocs with 350 TPI and all the 5.0 mustangs back in the late 80's with my Buick Grand National. I still own it today with only 90 ks on it.

[irishfield]

Bernie... lol

 

Buy it Darrell and we'll go to Taledaga and see how it does against mine.

 

[BillM]

Wayne, did you wipe all of my drool off the car? lol

[Bernie]

Hop in a Subaru WRX and push the throttle down. 4 wheel peel is an apt description.

Love the car! There are others out there too but I really would like one of those.

awd is great.. i owned the competition; mitsubishi eclipse turbo awd that wasn't stock for very long. there is a replacement for displacement - forced induction.

[BillM]

crankwalk?

[Raf]

 

I had a 1st gen. 4g63 was a 6 bolt & bulletproof in that generation. crankwalk started in the 2g 7 bolt motors. poor sods left by mitsubishi to rot

[ecmilley]

I had several z's and miss everyone of them, can you compare mid 80's power levels to what we have today? a corvette in 85 had all of 230 hp l98 engine. today a zr1 is pushing 625 or so

[Bernie]

You can't EC. You are right.

Had a couple late 70's Z's too. A set of cylinder heads, an intake, camshaft plus a few other fun items....Wahoo we have a car.
