I'm Back in a 3rd Gen after 13 years!
 
I sold my supercharged 88 IROC years ago when I sold my house and changed careers. Since then I bought a matching #s 1970 big block Corvette and drove it 900 miles in a year and a half. All the while paying $500 a month for it. I decided it was too much money for something I couldn't enjoy because of insurance restrictions. It was funny, people would ask me if I missed the Corvette and I would respond by telling them I missed the IROC. So, here I am again! I bought a clean example of a 1990 IROC!

I know the feeling. I've owned 4 thirdgens and just sold my Lt1 Formula for my 5th 3rd gen. There is just something about those 80's mullet machines.

IROC/Z28 3rds are gaining popularity. My Z and I have been thru many sticky situations. Its basically family. I have over 340 K miles before I replaced the engine. I been getting more compliments than ever before.

definitely welcome back. yeah my 87 IROC may only have a 305 but it was in rough shape when i got it and I spent the last 6 months or so I was on active duty fixing it up and love it. I also have a 96 and a 79 but I love driving that IROC the most. :burnout:

Gaining in popularity isn't because they are getting the respect they deserve again, it's because 1st and 2nd gen cars have gone through the roof, everywhere is a 4th gen with an aftermarket ram air hood, and 5th gens are $30k for a V6. So now the people that shunned 3rd gens, are reluctantly buying them to hopefully cash in. I know it was that way when the 2nd gens started getting expensive because they couldn't afford a 1st gen and wouldn't be caught dead in a third gen and the 4th gens just came out.

I have been toying with the idea more and more lately of picking up a clean third gen and dumping an LSx motor in it. How about some pics of this new ride?

iroc7 06-10-2009 10:11 AM

I have found once you have had a third gen or two its hard to drive anything else.Thats why I have 2 Irocs and always will...

I'll never sell my IROC. '90 models are hard to find...nice score.
