Hard to believe it still has new car smell if mice came anywhere close to cowl intake. They pee on everything.

Look at the air ducts in the video, they look nasty when they open the door. The mice probably went through them like one of those hamster setups.

Nice car, I think these had around 190HP while the TPI had 215. The 85 was much better then the 86, GM dropped the HP to 190 that year.

So it is essentially a great big paperweight?

Something doesn't seem right about this. Many of the internals should be or would be rotting all those years if any liquids were still in the car and humidity was in the storage area. Did you just turn it on after all those years and it worked?

So...You store a car and never use it for 25 years an you come out ahead 2k??? What in the world?!?! LOL....

Yes the price on the car is VERY FAIR to all of you naysayers...

Not if you have to replace anything..lol..

The way it was stored I know I would'nt want it. You start driving that thing and it will become a never ending leak.. plus other problems.
Clean it up good and make it a trailer/garage queen and make it strictly a conversation piece. Just MY thoughts.

Looks nice it needs the lower spoiler part. Probably discontinued

I once had a '85 Trans Am that had the 305 TPI in it , love the Iroc's , I'm surprised I haven't seen a picture of a 5th gen with the Iroc logo on it

brl45th · 12-27-2012, 06:35 PM

I think it sold at one of the major auctions for around his asking price... which IMO was a great deal. Has to be the nicest, lowest milage, most original 85 Iroc on the planet, and it's a stick to boot, which is fairly rare on 3rd Gens.

thats amazing!!

gmen09 · 04-29-2013, 09:42 AM

Very unique vehicle, truly one of a kind!

c_LoW29 · 04-29-2013, 10:11 AM

Is this the car that was on the news, that some dude bought a storage container and it had a Iroc Z28 in it and the people who sold the container didnt even know?
