Big Tav's Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z/28

[Big Tav]

Here are some pics of my old Camaro. This car was an 87 model with 52,000 genuine miles. I placed 3rd at the Nationals with it over here in Australia before I finished it to this concourse level. It was perfect.
350ci 5.7L, Targa tops and had ever factory option you could get. Had to sell it to fund a house purchase though. Biggest regret ever. I was my first dream car. I always wanted to have one since i was an apprentice and ended up with the arguably the best in Australia. Hope to have another one day. I could bring one over from the US since you can drive LHD over there! Very tempting!

What do you all think?

I like how they look, and that one seems very tidy. Interior is awful though, like something out of a 1970s Lada.
Mind you, I don't think you'd notice on a sunny day with the windows down and that V8 soundtrack...

Stunning car. I always wanted one. More so when i was 18. Much better looking than its rival the Trans-Am GTA.Lovely mate

Different and cool. Me likey

I think it looks much better than a TA too. The interior was actually really nice in an American car way. It's just not the best photo of it. This car was concourse. I really miss it!

Absoloutly love these cars! Wanted one since I was 11 & got one at 22, had to sell it to fund a house & still regret it. Very, very fun cars if a tad scary in the wet (was my 1st rear driver)
Looks like you've got a good one there, what options has it got?

Sorry miss read the 1st post, you had to do the same as me

Had one the same in blue. Objectively rubbish in every way but I loved that car. Fascia moulded entirely from recycled chocolate box trays IIRC. Great fun in the snow too

Don't forget the wiring done by a 5yr old too...

Were they as old as that?

Gotta ask this question...

It's RHD. I know there's some local laws in Aus about this, but how do they end up with the wheel on the "correct" side?

It's just a guess, when I had to sort the VATS out on mine it looked like someone had grabbed random handfulls of wire behind the dash & fused, taped & generally bodged together..... Would still buy another tomorrow if I could justify another car

In aus any car under 30 years old must be converted to rhd unless you live in Western Australia where you can drive it as is. My camaro was superbly converted by the corvette clinic. Looked factory but there are some really dodgy ones out there. A good conversion is about $10,000.

The only car i've ever regretted selling!
