This Very Original and Special Triple "000" VIN #// IROC Z28 CAMARO was totally gone thru restoration less then 10,000 miles ago at top shops in Northern California. Matthews and Sons Customs & Hot Rods, Alameda Custom Auto upholstery, Emmanuel's Muffler and Exhaust, ANH Tires, Edgewater Automotive, Top Nor Cal Shops, Northern California. Every nut and bolt, mount and screw, wire and bulb, and well you get the idea, Over $5800 in Labor and Shop work alone, to make this IROC run like new. Everything was gone thru and either a rebuild or replaced @ 103,000 miles, total 112.767. Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Running gear, Sway Bars, Steering, Steering Column , alignment, Shocks, brakes, ball joints, Bushings, Ignition, ETC> All Electrical, Dash, Engine compartment, interior and exterior lighting including Maps, Reading, Courtesy, Door, Kick panels, etc. interior lights work as new, all dash lights and gauges work as new, dimmer etc. Even the little green driving light bulb on the switch on light toggle was replaced new & works PERFECT, Original Stunning No cracks, splits, warps on Dashboard!- Doors or T-Top surrounds I am anal when it came to getting things fixed or to as new-original and when I bought this IROC, as I've always wanted one since watching the IROC match races in the 80s, I made it a Mission to restore I was not to spare a minute or hour of Labor or Item at expense to get it right, to get it stock from the Cigarette lighter to the Engine Compartment Light and get it to be a hot and dependable OEM driver, for both me and my wife. We get thumbs up everywhere we go! Everything was professionally done and installed, there was no scrimping, or amateur installs or shortcuts, all work was performed by quality shops, known for quality work and their opinions on conditions to replace or rebuild all systems. All options on this IROC, as you can see by the Manufacturers RPO plate in Glove box pictured, and they work as intended, it gets second gear scratch in solid tranny shifting in Drive or smooth kicks when up shifts or down shifts manually. Vin Tag/Stickers in Photos shows that all original on all Doors, Hood, Panels and Back Deck Lid, No Wrecks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Car Drives, Tracks and Brakes straight as arrow, Tight and responsive quick ratio steering Pkg. works as it should- Slot Car Feel-, whole car Tight, Stiff and Solid as it should, moves perfect and passionately, Transmission shifts solid and sure, and in overdrive with my foot out of it I can get 20-26 MPG sometimes more depending on traffic, but honestly on a run down hill from Tahoe to SF bay, at an Avg. of 72mph for 206 miles, I got 26+mpg coming down thru Sacramento, Now yes with my foot in it, yes substantially less MPG..

This IROC IS READY ,Dependable, FAST AND FUN Oil Change 170 miles ago @12,500--still Gold! I had everything from interior and mechanical professionally installed , rebuilt or serviced and more, Original T-TOPS and covers with original straps and Back Lid cover Perfect, Locking compartment option rear trunk left side rear wheel well, We drove this IROC from Lake Tahoe to Van Nuys, California, after all work was finished on her, on US395.... speed run between Mono Lake and Mammoth Mountain.....and Mammoth to Bishop California, we hit 126mph and 128mph, with no issues, no sputter or hesitations, until my wife started to freak out for me to slow down or risk a ticket, 91 octane/premium fuel----NO Regular fuel used since rebuild. 1044 mile round trip we used 43 gallons of fuel. For you that know this Desert highway .... Still lots more left in her, my guess is she would have no problems doing the 135mph- 140mph Range, The tickets will be your problem. AVG. #s : Top speed ratings were 149 to 156 in tech data Bone Stock according to Research. My Averages were as follows, Freeway On Ramp 0-65mph, 3 different on ramps all tested at around 7-8 seconds Freeway On Ramp 30-65mph, 3 different on ramps all tested around 4 seconds Standing start, measured 1/4 mile, 3 runs, were timed at 15.4 @ 98.4mph, 14.7@ 101.03mph , and 14.8@ 99.3mph, Keep in mind this is all equipped bone stock on 91 octane fuel no additives. The only things to make this a brand new complete restoration/show car -- new exterior paint, interior needs 1 small repair drivers front seat, lower outside corner fabric, could be replaced, $70-$90 estimate Alameda Auto Upholstery, I just hated the idea of painting her at a cost $3-4K estimate to match Original Quality and Color with a top painter (Spraycraft) in Reno Nevada , as I was setting this IROC up as a daily driver, drive anywhere, anytime, I did not want to cry at the first new parking ding, as has happened to me on 2 other of my 1969 Camaros, a original Z28RS and a 1969 SS ,Viper Blue 427 Yenko Tribute car, which I cannot just drive in any weather or to any parking lot without worries. I bought this IROC with the intent of keeping her for a long time, and I restored her to drive anywhere, anytime and park anywhere, anytime and walk away, without worry in coming back to a new door dings or dents or chips. Now after purchase 4 years, and after approx. investment of over $14,700 restoring her so far, not including the countless more unpaid personal (100's) hours in my work, on detailing and wiping and cleaning her and tinkering. Never thought id be selling. The only reason I am selling now, my wife JUST TOLD ME! WE are pregnant and our health coverage is limited on maternity(frickin Obama Care), and even though I want to keep them, Wife says I should sell one or two of my Camaros, (The Toys as she puts it), She loves them though I know! I have collected and restored 4 of them, to KEEP, and since 2001 they have been my prized possessions, But now its time to be a parent. That, and that she wants a NEW SUV in our future, She want the new Jag F-Pace S- CROSSOVER, as a Baby Transporter Family car. Geezers!@ 65k So my IROC, old baby, is the first to go in order to make room in the garage and make our first, new baby, safer and comfortable. Ask for more info and fotos, I have tried to cover everything and I'm limited to 24 photos. I will also be posting a 1969 Z28 RS 72,000 orig. mile car shortly, starting bid will be around 60k, its a 1% production car, Dusk Blue/Dusk Blue/Dusk Blue, high optioned, 302/3 deuce car. Keep In Mind!! Cars are for sale locally in SF bay, Los Angeles areas and also will be in Hemming's, Auto Trader, and may not be available if you don't bid NOW, could go anytime!!!!!! I reserve right to close this auction early if another buyer is produced offline, or on another site.

And yes both high and low beam headlamps are new. In answer to "Tom in Santa Cruz", YES, power windows work both sides no issues, Yes, power door locks work from both sides, but No there is not keyless entry this car was pre era for that and I do not know about having installed, its old school use a key to unlock.

BLOWS super cold and strong and yes all setting work as new, and all fan settings work as new, professional removal of old system and Install complete new system at Matthews & Sons shop, On Mar-13-17 at 12:09:56 PDT, seller added the following information: In answer to "Tom in Oregon", Your welcome, Yes I purchased it out of SeaTac and yes windshield wipers work all settings, I guess that would be important in Oregon, jejeje, I went to school in Eugene I know how much it rains, I spent probably 40 hours with a tooth brush cleaning all seams, moldings and gaps and edges getting rid of pine needles, leaves and green slime like algae from the moist Seattle weather conditions when I bought the car, NO RUST! No ROT anywhere. "IM A PROUD FIGHTING DUCK CLASS 1989" In answer to "Jerry in Seattle" The windshield wiper sprayer was working perfect, but I ran it dry one day and now it only works off and on, I was told I either needed a new pressure fitting / regulator or possibly just the lines need to be cleaned as I may have sucked something in(dirt or sediment) from reservoir tank when I ran it dry, it is original to the car, and was working fine when I had it in shop for all the work. the hoses all look good as well as fittings. Also I Believe I am only the 3rd owner from my research not the 4thOn Mar-14-17 at 10:37:11 PDT, seller added the following information: Answer to question Las Vegas----- Tires Are GOODYEAR EAGLES Z HIGH SPEED RATED 70%+ left on treadOn Mar-17-17 at 16:45:23 PDT, seller added the following information: can all you people who have me on your watch lists please remove me so i can get an idea of legimate bidders please
