Re: Pics of when you brought it home
The is her coming off the truck when I first bought it:
About a week later I went back across country for school (after realizing trying to drive it to Florida from California in its questionable mechanical condition wasn't a great idea
, so this sat to collect dust, so here it is a few months later the day after I got home for summer, after a wash and wax:

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
Brought it home on 2-7-2009. Caught a 45min flight from Los Angeles to San Jose with my father. Drove it back home. Got the first "thumbs up" on the way back and got flashed by some chicks in an SUV. It was a great drive.

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
I fell in love with a 1986 IROC when I test drove one new.i was 26 and broke as hades,but I thought ...one day. fast forward to 2009 when I found my car in a barn where it had been since 91.a fully loaded 86 IROC TPI and all! I had to move 63 round bales of hay,two tractors and a combine to get her out and on the roll back.

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
Heres some pics of the cars Ive had. First was a 85 I bought in 08 from a lawyer which was the worst mistake ever as the thing looked mint but a complete rust bucket
Next is my 89. Got it as a roller on a dolly car but is solid
Now im moving onto a 86 Z28 as I want a car thats all done by me including the paint as if you havnt noticed all of them have been red and im really not a fan of red
It looks like a basket case but its the most solid 3rdgen Ive ever seen

Her names Monica. She was 2 grand and had 161k miles on her. A year later she still runs great, but is no longer as pretty following an accident.

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
Day I traded for her. She still looks the same except the interior. Going through and fixing everything to 100% then worrying about cosmetics.
At the point of this picture she didn't run due to fuel pump, had bad valve seals, leaking vss, and a batch of other things.

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
Those wheels really set your car apart. It's hard to find 1985-1987 Z28's like that anymore that are in good shape. GM made a lot of them and you really have to search hard to find one in that kind of shape now.

Re: Pics of when you brought it home
Definitely hard to find them like you said. There is a twin to mine local (super small town at that) but he has it all gutted and cages for a track car. Was surprised to see it at a car show last week.
