There's a very rough runs/drives 86 IROC on Savannah Craigslist for $500.00.
It is not in my immediate area and I have no trailer or I would be looking at it tomorrow.
Might not have a title though as the seller has chosen not to share much beyond a couple bad photos....

What a waste.

It's like having a supermodel wife and not touching her, just saving her for the next guy.

I'd take a 1st or 2nd gen over a 3rd or 4th gen.

First car in the US back in 96 was an iroc. Didn't have the mullet or gold chain, but I did smoke Marlboro's. Fun car.

I would never save a car for the next owner. I would probably be the wrong person to own ANY low mileage original cars. I would drive the wheels off of them.

I think there is a clapped out one near me. If I had the $$$, energy, etc...I would LS motor it and make a fun car out of it. Keeping the factory style, but, with some thoughts of the autocross look to it.

As a matter of fact, just saw an article about ‘rad 80s cars’ earlier today, with a photo of an IROC at the top

https://www.automobilemag.com/news/c...-cars-buy-now/

Dude in high school had one (red - the color I’d get), was quite jealous

no.

I have a warm spot for the F-body Camaros and Firebirds. The F-bodies were the last produced bastion of the muscle car era; and I liked that point in time very well
