This was a project car that me and my son purchased 50/50 when he was a junior in High School.
The goal was to share the automotive skills I have obtained through many years of tinkering on cars, from engine tune up, replacing all fluids, filters, gaskets, brakes, suspension, interior work, body work, and paint. This car was purchased on Oct 29th, 2019 and we are pretty close to finishing it!
We are currently waiting for some new materials to re-upholster the front and rear seats, the new vinyls for all original pinstriping along the bottom of the car black, and gold along with new tuned port injection decals just below the Z28 on the lower ground effects, as well as the CAMARO decal for the front bumper insert. We are also planning on having the original wheels completely re-machined, powder coated and then polished and clear coated, then a entire new set of tires.
I would love any comments or suggestions.
Thanks for watching.

This here was a normal father and son project back in the 70's. Now these days it is rare. If I could give 2 thumbs up I would. Teenagers today really do not know what they are missing. Most of all, this is a great Dad, and should be proud of his son.

man i wish my father would do sumn like this with me though i think his motivation to do it was killed by my brother who took his truck there, worked on it for like 2-3 days, now its been sitting outside his house for the last 3-4 years

I absolutely love these IROC's, they are the Quintessential 80's car. My neighbors nephew had one when I was a teen, his was a little bit brighter blue with Silver wheels and Silver IROC Graphics and Grey Interior. I just bought a 84 Camaro (Not an IROC) that my son, grandson and I are going to rebuild for my grandson's first car. Were going to leave the base Camaro front end on it because we all like it better but were going to put a IROC Hood and Spoiler on it. It came with the plain jane 305 so were just going to rebuild it. We have no idea what color were going to repaint it yet but were thinking yellow, that's grandson's favorite color with grey interior, we live in the Arizona and black vinyl would get REALLY hot in the summer.

My second car after a 1981 280ZX was a 1987 IROC when I was @ 20. I kept getting beat on the street by 5.0 Mustangs at the time, so I bought a 1991 Mustang convertible. I currently drive a 2008 Dodge Charger Super Bee Edition #798 fast as hell, but out of all the cars I should have kept was my IROC. To this day it just felt right driving it, I wish you well on your project I know you will enjoy the heck out of it. I'm older now and retired, you can surely bet I'm going to get another find another. Thanks for saving your's.

My father found me my first and only Camaro 13 years ago (1988 rs), and I was 15. Today I ripped it down the highway for the first time in a couple of years. I love that car and my dad.

Bringing back memories of driving halfway across the contry to pick up his red 1990 Iroc in 2007. A few years later I brought home a 1984 Z28. We still enjoy our Camaro's and yes his is faster then mine.

Very nice. Thanks for the video. I bought an '85 IROC-Z in April of 1985. It was a lighter, brighter blue. A one-year only color. Electric blue I think. I kept it 12 years. I traded it in in 1997 for a '97 Jeep Wrangler. I still have the Wrangler. In immaculate condition. Before I had the IROC, I had an '83 Z-28. 5.0 H.O. with 5 speed. I kept it two years. I miss those cars. They bring back memories. Now I drive Dodge RT's.

When I was 19 (back in 1994) I almost bought an 1988 IROC in really nice condition, but the guy wanted 8 Grand for it and I just didn't have that kind of money. And my Dad reminded me that it snowed a lot in the winter in BC. So I opted for a Chevy Beretta GT instead. A good reliable car, but it would have been more fun to have the IROC!

The only thing I would've done differently is replace the hood. I have yet to see bondo on a hood that didn't eventually crack.
