Looking for my old 88 Camaro IROC-Z.

Hi all,

Trying to track down my old 88 Camaro IROC-Z that i sold about 5yrs ago.
E503 NBP. Still showing as Taxed and MOT'd.

Stunning car that was all original, apart from the 150hp shot of NOS :-)
Would love to know where it is now.. One of those cars i should never had sold.

Oh no, sounds like I should never have sold it.
It almost was in showroom condition 6yrs ago. Utterly mint, with the engine all original.

Wonder why the exhaust was missing. I had a American Thunder system on it, should have out lasted the car.

Disappointing. Maybe its better sometimes not to know what has happened to your ex cars.

what's even sadder is I'm fairly certain that that is MY old car too!!! I'll have to look back in my pics at some point... another one who can say "I shouldn't have sold!!"

IROCFAN, how you doing chap !.
Used to chat to you a lot on the AACI forums, which no longer seem to exist.
And yes that was your old car.

What concerns me, is the mention above of not fuelling correctly. I hope some numpty owner has not taken all the TPI off, and just fitted big carbs. That would be really annoying.
I fitted the TPI Spoiler to the TB, de-restricted the front air filter boxes, so the K&N's could breath more easily, and added a Superchip to the ECM. Should have been about 240bhp, and still would almost do 30mpg when driven normally.

I only sold it as in the winter it would try to kill me almost daily. Every mildly wet roundabout it would go sideways. Not fun when your dealing with rush hour traffic.

Matt it was Registered in 1988 in the UK.
It also was a Roller Rocker engine, so it was indeed an 1988. Since Roller Rockers were not introduced into early in the year of 88.

No, it was a true IROC-Z. All RPO codes matching.

Came complete with Dealer supplied factory build sheet, and origninal bill of sale.
Was imported from North Carolina.

I also changed them :-)

When I picked the car up from its owner in kent, the Decals were Silver in colour, and at the front of the doors.
I wanted Gold as per some of the original cars GM used in Advertising, so managed to get a set of genuine GM gold IROC-Z decals from the US and had them shipped over.
I also put them on the front of the door since I think they look better in that position, rather than the rear of the door.
