Batesville, Indiana.


Here's the ad:


1988 Iroc Z, 305 TPI 700R4. Both engine and trans have been rebuilt. 3.73 rear gears. New brakes. New adjustable shocks and moog springs. Drives really good. A/C was not recharged after engine rebuild and I haven’t messed with it. Rare medium orange metallic paint. Has been repainted once. Original owner is local to me. Spohn subframe connectors. Interior has gray 4th gen seats. Rest of tan interior is nice. Needs dash pad. Few small rust bubbles on passenger lower quarter. Overall really nice car. Zero trades.

Doesn't seem too bad for the money!

I really like that. Great color too! Except, "Few small rust bubbles on passenger lower quarter." This tells me that the prep work is garbage and was painted cheaply. So, even at 5gs, I'm going to have to spend another 10gs to strip it to bare metal and repaint it before it rusts out. Would make a good daily driver though to just drive it in the ground and not worry about it for that money.

Not to mention the metal work to repair all the rust under the paint.
