$400 Farm Fresh Iroc
Got another great deal on a nice camaro. As with my '91 in my sig, I found this on Craigslist about 85 miles from me and couldn't pass up on it. It's an '88 Iroc, almost all original except no motor/tranny. Paid $400. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it yet as I haven't even started my '91, nor finished my '84. First pics are fresh off the trailer and it was absolutely FILTHY. I had to wash it 3 times to get all the dirt and grime and pinstraw off it. The last pics are after I got it pretty clean. The clearcoat is coming off the top and the interior needs redone + the drivetrain, but for $400 I couldn't pass it up. Here's the camaro ****....

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
Thanks guys. Haven't touched the inside yet. I had some other stuff to do today, so ran out of time. I think the interior will clean up pretty good. The plastics aren't dryrotted. It will need carpet, headliner and the seats redone. The drivers seat has the normal wear on the sides. It was a 305 tbi car. I think it cleaned up pretty nice too. The guy has a set of single line Irocs in perfect shape that I'm gonna go back and get in a couple weeks for $100 + a complete 3" exhaust set up for headers. He has several other camaros, some completely full of parts that he's collected. He talked about crushing the other ones. I might try and work out a deal and save at least one more of them. 2 of them were 91 rs's that were fixable. I'm outta cash for now though.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
No obvious rust from underneath. Underneath the carpet on the driverside is clean. That's as far as I've looked.
That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. I do like the color

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
Did you get the history on it? I think it would be great to find out about this car. Does it have a 9 bolt rear with discs?

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
I really don't know much history on it at this point. He had bought it for his wife and started to convert it over for a carbed engine. He changed the gas tank and lines. Then his wife found a 92 anniversary Z28 and he bought that and stopped working on this one. I believe it's a California Van Nuys car. It has NO options. No PW, PL, Tilt, Cruise, PM, drum brakes on rear, etc... He does have a perfect set of 85-87 Iroc wheels that I'm going back to get and a brand new 3" flowmaster exhaust complete from the crossoverpipe (for headers) back. Like I said, he has several other camaro's and they are all stuffed full of parts that I may try and buy to resell. I'm just tapped out for a couple weeks. I'd be suprised if he's not a member on here because he has so many 3rd gens.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
He had 2 - '91 Rs ttop cars and a B4c cop car from Doraville, GA., piles of wheels, disk brake rears, T/A parts. He had 2 - '92 Z's that were not for sale, but everything else was. There was more than that, but is was starting to rain, getting close to dark, and I was getting slap ate up by mosquitos, so I kinda got in a hurry to get this one loaded and gone.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
The B4c was primered over and missing the front bumper cover. You could still see the number on the roof and "Doraville Police" on the hatch coming back through the primer. It had a factory roll bar in it. It is very fixable and I believe for sale.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
It's showing around 88k on the odo. IDK if that's original mileage or not...
No, but I'm off work the next 5 days, so I'm gonna have some time to spend on it.
I know right. I don't know what's gonna go back in it yet. Maybe just a mild, carb'd 350 with a nice little cam... I can hear it now. Duu Daku Duu Daku duu daku duu daku....lol ( that's my written Impersonation of a cam)

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
I did get all the interior cleaned out. I wound up just tossing the carpet in the rear. It wasn't worth the effort to clean it. Glad I did, caust I found a license plate screwed to the floor where someone changed the fuel pump out. LOL. Real safe. I'll get more pics this w/e.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
That's a good deal for a complete car. I'd buy the whole car. Get what you need/want and resell the rest. That way, your parts are free.

Re: $400 Farm Fresh Iroc
Awesome find. I'd also like to go check out this guy's for sale items. Does he still have a list on Craigslist?
