i found a white 88 iroc, 55k miles. its for sale for 2450. it looks like a nice clean car. the guy who came out to talk to me was an old man, so i think it may have been his weekend driver. perfect interior, wheel wells were in better shape than my 97 grand ams.

the guy was unsure if it was a 305 or 350. i said lb9 and he looked confused

anywho, its got a 70 mph guage i think...if that matters? what should i look for to see its options. i know there are rpo codes, where can i find them? i plan to write the vin, and find the rpo codes (owners manual?) and check out all the info.

i'm goin back tomorrow for a test drive, what should i look for?

if it passes my expectations its gettin checked out by a mechanic, then its goin in my driveway. it will be my first f-body after about 3 years of wanting one desperately

 

55k original miles? For $2450? That's a steal right there! RPO Codes can be found under the console lid. I think it was in 1990 they changed to the little storage compartment in the trunk. You can run all the codes/vin at www.thirdgen.org

I've never seen a 70mph gauge? Only 85, 115, and 145. I know you've been looking desperately for an F-body and all I have to say is Good Luck

 

maybe it was 85? for ****s sake, who knows, i could have been lookin at the tach

it was dark

 

ok, its definatley an lb9 or an l98, not a l03. it said tuned port injection on the plenum. i forgot l03 was tbi.

 

dude, do you understand the deal your getting on that car?

55K miles for $2450 for any car is a steal unless it's a Daewoo!
Congratulations on your new car in advance

 

its around blue book

don't see it as a huge steal, but i guess thats me.

 

Dude, scoop that car right up. Unless its got a manual tranny it should be the L98. And if its manual it will be the lb9. And with that many miles u better buy it before someone else does. Good Luck!

 

Blue book don't mean **** on these cars. They are the 69 Z28 of the future. Look at the 8th position in the VIN, it will be a F for 305 or a 8 for 350.

This car will be worth a lot more one day than what you're paying for it.

 

not when i'm through with it

 

Good luck but man thats a huge steal BUY IT if you do get it we need pics I`ve owned my 85 for 2 1/2 years and I love it and I just got a 81 Z28.

 

woah!!! you have an 81!?!?.......
