it's goofy to say the least. the price also IMO is a little outrageous. if that car really is worth that much i don't see why he's selling it on something like ebay. But I'll be damnded if that isn't one clean *** thirdgen.

Not as rare or as cool as the California Iroc that was on ebay a few years ago... I can't find the pics of it but it was a two seater and kinda had a top like the Transmaro on this site does...

No 350 until late late 86( there were a very small handfull) and officially in 1987 . That ones a 5.0TPI and in 85 , you could only get a manual with the base carbed 305 .

What a time warp , I was big Iroc fan so seeing this ( less all those signatures ) is really cool . This car should be a barret jackson or being possibly the rock and roll hall of fame , not ebay . The car has the history , all the documents ect. to get big money , not on ebay though ...lol . Without of the historical value attached from Live Aid , the car alone would fetch $20K plus . Whites a fairly rare color for an Iroc , the option list is healthy and its 25 yrs old and classed as a classic now . Ive only seen 1 other Iroc in my life with that low of miles , it was 90 1LE with 69 miles that went for $25K .

All the crazy auctions like BJ and such have made cars rediculous to buy, and people think everything is worth north of 100k. Too many times on BJ cars are sold for way too much, it makes me sick! All this of course is my opinion.
