Then I had a 74 nova, that was gonna get a 502. was on the way to order it and seen the Iroc, and came home with it.

latly I haven't really been feeling four wheels. Im 98% sure me and the Iroc/parts will be parting. Just not sure if Im gonna keep the formula
I hear you man, I figured it wasn't your first project car, but it was your first 3rd gen

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Re: Formula or Iroc ????????

shocks/struts are factory unit, atleast the rears are. they worked prefect when I parked it 4 years ago. I do have brand new sportlines, but they maybe spoken for(Vin hit me up). I'll sell the racing seats for $200/pair, if you looking for stocks that falls under interior parts and will go with the body, plus there not that great looking. Im to lazy to list all the parts I have, do a seach and Im sure you'll find everything. Im only posting because I just got off work and Im coming off a NOS high

as for the formula I don't know yet. but if you give me $3500 I'll have it town to you house

Re: Formula or Iroc ????????

I'm actually keeping the formula, gotta have something to drive during the rainy season. eric(porkyzilla) was nice enough to give me a 350 8 just been slacking on ordering the pistons and rods(will get done this weekend).

I was gona post a new thread to sale the Iroc. $1000 as is, I almost have that in the front end. I don't really wanna work on it anymore.

Re: Formula or Iroc ????????

Other than El Camino's, I've thought the IROC was by far the best looking of all the 3rd Gen styles; which is why I've got an 88 IROC money-pit. IROC's seem to sell for more $$$ than Trans-vestite Am's in the Sonoma County area, but I just took a trip up to Albuquerque, New Mexico and noticed the complete opposite. In fact, I saw very few Camaro's at all, but nice looking Trans-Am's were everywhere I drove.

If yours is a money sponge I would sell both. It's cheaper to buy one off of Ebay that's already been gone through than to make an old one new again. I think I've got close to $20k in my IROC and it still looks like a turd after two years of constant work. Nitro-Nicky
