I sold the Chevelle last month and started looking for the next project. I set my budget and pretty much narrowed it down to 4 choices. C4 ZR1, 4th gen WS6 LS1 6 speed Formula, 3rd gen GTA Trans Am or a 3rd gen IROC. I am a Gen Xer that grew up in the 80s after all.
I ultimately decided that the ZR1 was out because of parts availability and lack of aftermarket mod support. I still want one someday but I didn't want to use up most of my current budget on just a car with nothing left over for mods/improvements.
I also decided that I didn't really want another 4th gen right now. I've had several of them over the years and I just wanted something different.
That meant that IROC was now at the top of the list with a GTA a close 2nd. It needed to be one of two colors, yellow(IROC only) or black with gold accents. I've wanted a yellow IROC since I was a kid. There was a girl in my hometown that got a brand new yellow one back then and I've wanted one ever since I saw it.
I ended up finding a nice yellow hardtop and it's supposed to be shipped tomorrow. Here are some older pics of it. I'll update when it arrives.
My plans are to LS/T56 swap it. It's a base LG4 305/auto car so I don't mind swapping this one, even though it's super nice and original.
