The 5K mile 1985 Iroc on eBay

You guys see this one yet? Looks pretty legit, with maybe, the possible exception to tire wear, but thats very hard to see with the pictures posted.

Would love to see more underside pictures. I can never get enough of those on low mile cars. To be honest I am surprised there are not more of them seeing its up on a lift. Doesn't look like there is anything to hide on this one

Only thing I can pick on is the window tinting. I would remove that, just makes it seem personalized. Is the alternator correct? I thought the pulley should be black, but maybe thats in later years.

That car is owned by forum member rayjr. I'm surprised to see it for sale, it's a nice car and he purchased it not too long ago. The alternator + pulley is correct for an 85. If I remember correctly, the only thing that had been done to it was a repaint to the nose cap. There is a thread on it somewhere.

Re: The 5K mile 1985 Iroc on eBay

I bought my 89 GTA from the 2nd owner, & she owned it since it was 3-4 years old.
it has 52K on the clock & they installed a new alternator just the week before I bought it. They thought it was a good selling point, I was saddened to see the bright gold pulley & cooling fan. I didn't think of it at the time but I should have found out where the core went back to to see if I could buy it back. I've been watching ebay for an original & need to make a new post about how to correctly identify what I need.

Just when I think my white 85 is starting to look good, this near perfect white 85 pops up.

Very nice uncommon example.

I am just a fanatic about original cars like this. So the pictures are just for selfish reasons. I could look at picts like that all day. But, I do think they are really important on a car like this. No doubt anyone who isn't just window shopping will get the other pictures from you. What the story on it & why are you selling it?

Whoa! We need more pictures...

That looks like a really nice car. Hope you can post more of the detail shots of the stuff that is so synonymous with low mile cars like this.

My 82 recaro had those exact same wheel on it when I got it. Sadly I never took a picture. That was back in 1988 & it wasn't nearly as nice as your car even back then!

Love all the Eagle GT's you now have!
