Re: 3800 mile '85 IROC

Is that a crack to the top right of the radio?

Re: 3800 mile '85 IROC

Rather amazing. If I was a Camaro guy I wouldn’t see myself paying more than 15k for that car. And at 23k the reserve is not met 😂

It's worth a lot more than that. I just sold my 45k mile 1990 IROC-Z for $18,000

Re: 3800 mile '85 IROC

Amazing car but most definitely the rear wiper would have to go day #1. Love that color and no doubt value will continue to rise on this American classic. It has the right emblem right down side of that door.

Yup, that's where many of them crack. Not sure why some do and some don't. My 86' was cracked in the same spot.

Re: 3800 mile '85 IROC

That crack's gonna hurt someone's feelings for sure. That's a lot of money to spend, just to have to replace IMO one of the more vital original interior pieces. "All original except the entire dash has been replaced"

Very true. And then proceed with the "No way that mileage is correct" bandwagon...

Oh I’m certain it is. I was just stating “I” would only pay that. Formula or Trans Am, different story. My number goes higher then

I honestly thought that was part of the original design, and that they changed the dash on later year cars to remove it. Makes no sense why my '91 didn't have that crack when the whole rest of the interior was trashed, particularly the dash pad and console.

The newest car I can recall seeing that crack is 86'or 87', I can't recall ever seeing an 88-92' with a cracked dash, although maybe there are some out there. My 86' was built in late 85' (I don't recall the month) and the dash was cracked when I bought it in 1996. I remember looking at a bunch of 83' and 84' Z28's back then and it seemed like just about every one of them also had the cracked dash. My guess is that there was some design or manufacturing issue that was identified and corrected somewhere around 1987.

Just take solace in the fact that you will continue to save thousands and can have the exact same suspension and drive train by buying a Formula or GTA. You can probably buy two in perfect shape with low miles for what Camaros are going for. Enjoy that while it lasts, which I hope is forever.

Hmmm, maybe it's not sold. But I heard from someone else that it was sold. Who knows.
