Ok,up for bidding is my 85 Iroc-Z..it is all original other than the paint,tires,battery,carpet,headliner and stereo..it was recently re painted and was done right..doors were removed,all interior removed..etc.. Basically the complete car was taken apart other than drivetrain,painted
 in pieces and re assembled with some new parts that needed replaced..things that were replaced are as follows.
Door to window weatherstripping.(window sweeps)
Front windshield(safelite)
Trunk/hatch seal(lone star)
Exterior door handles.(a+auto)
Carpet(acc auto carpets)
Headliner(installed the new style ABS plastic backing board and reupholstered in factory correct material)(acme brand) the rear speaker covers were also reupholstered in the same material
Tires..245/50/16 (falkens)
Wheel centercaps( GM licensed parts)
Parking light housings(brand new GM parts)
Fog light grill(brand new GM part)
Door hinge bushings,rollers and pins(hawks 3rd gen)
That's all that had to be replaced,everything else was still in great condition and just needed cleaning..
Re assembly was done very carefully and put back to all factory specs.The power drivers seat works in all 6 positions and both front seats still even have the plastic covers that Chevrolet added to cover the ugly metal seat tracks.The doors open and close beautifully..just like they were when the car was new.
The rear window louvers I was told were original to the car too but I do not see them included on the window sticker or the invoice so I don't know for sure if they were or not..they come with the car regardless and can easily be removed if you don't like them.
I have the clean carfax report on the car that was done on 4/10/2014..it has been a Florida car it's entire life and it shows..I also have the dealership invoice and window sticker for the car so anyone can see that this is a true legitimate Iroc-Z and not just any car wrapped in stickers and badges..it is not showroom condition underneath but is very clean and rust free..still sports the original exhaust system and catalytic converter..just had a synthetic oil change,all suspension greased and brakes gone through..one of the wheel cylinders were leaking so they were both replaced..has the original Iroc aluminum drums on the rear brakes.
The original wheels are in great shape with very minor scrapes on the lip of one front..none are cracked or bent..
The interior as you can see in the pics is almost absolutely perfect..the front seatbelts are a little dirty and there are 2 very small cracks in the plastic stitching on the driver side..not too bad for a nearly 30 year old car..
The dash pad is in excellent condition with no visible cracks..(there is one small crack just behind the windshield on the driver side that is not even noticeable..if anyone wants to see a pic of this crack I will gladly add a photo of it.
All options the car came with can be seen in the pic of the dealer invoice I have attached and everything it came with is still on/in the car and in working condition except the factory floor mats..those are long gone..
The bad on this car..it has the notorious chevrolet puff of smoke at start up from bad valve seals..car has been stored quite awhile and thus causing the seals to dry out and most likely break..the power mirrors are not working,I am assuming the control switch is bad..and the air conditioning works but when it is running the compressor clutch constantly runs engaged..it does not cycle on and off like it's designed to do..not sure if this can really be classified as a (bad) thing since it is in working condition and blows super cold,just want all information disclosed that I am aware of.
One thing it could probably use besides the valve seals is new front sway bar bushings..they look pretty worn and sloppy..I have a new set that will be included with the car..I may even put them on the car if my time permits..
And lastly,the power antenna does not go down..
Other than that,everything seems fine with the car,the engine is very strong and responsive..the transmission shifts smooth..and the car handles awesome!!
Also has the original spare tire with the jack and the inflator can for the spacesaver spare tire.
I am selling this car to build a convertible camaro that I had to have..otherwise I would just keep it hidden in my garage and drive it occasionally.Unfortunately I don't have room to keep them both.
Car will come with the history report,the dealer invoice,the window sticker,owners manual and the sales brochure booklet.
Here is some of the history I found on the rarity of the color..this information I obtained from The iroc zone..it is a website dedicated to documentation and just for enghusiasts of these cars.
1985 was the introduction year of the iroc-z and was also the introduction year of the 215 hp. tuned port injection engine..of all 21,177 Irocs produced in its first year only around 3,000 of them were painted in the code 50 yellow.
This is everything I can think of that I know about the car so,as always,feel free to ask any questions and I will get them answered ASAP..if you want to talk to me one on one just message me a name,number and best time to call. Thank you

 forgot to mention...the windshield wiper motor cover is missing in the pics shown but I have a new one that I will be installing on the car.


On May-06-14 at 18:15:23 PDT, seller added the following information:

 I just want to add some info here..I didn't prepare this listing very well and I apologize for  adding the info now,but I cannot make edits on the mobile app so had to wait until I could do it from home pc....like I said to begin with,I want to disclose everything I know about the car.If I would have known there would be this much activity on the listing this early I would have spent more time proofreading it and taken notes before posting..here are the things I want to mention.

The check engine light is on when the car is running..I have ran the self test check and it is giving code 32(which is EGR) it doesn't affect the performance of the car and runs just fine with zero issues..I have a feeling the EGR valve may be plugged..again,there are no issues with the operation of the car in any way,just want this known to everyone interested in the car..
the other thing is the tachometer and oil pressure gauges are working but they are not reading accurately..the oil pressure reads around 55 psi at idle and pegs out all the way to the right when you tap the throttle pedal..  I do not believe this is accurate..I think it is actually supposed to read at about 35 psi at idle...the tach is reading around 2500rpm at idle and also pegs out all the way to the right when I hit the throttle pedal....that is way off,the engine idles at 700rpm,not 2500!!..I am not 100% certain but possibile causes are the oil pressure sending unit or the gauge itself on the oil pressure gauge and on the tach,possible issue is either the tach filter that is on the firewall next to the distributor or the tach itself has an issue..I am going to try and locate another tach filter tomorrow and see if that fixes the misreading and also will be installing a new oil pressure sensor.
the other thing is I thought the odometer read 43,580 when I first listed the car but it actually reads 43,539 at this time..it is only a 5 digit odometer so I am thinking the actual mileage is 143,539..I don't think it caould be any higher than that considering the car still has the factory exhaust and catalytic converter,and also just because of the overall condition of everything including the original aluminum brake drums and all original appearing suspension..


On May-07-14 at 16:11:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

 Hi,just adding an update for everyone that is interested and have been watching this...I tried the new tach filter and oil pressure switch today and no luck,the oil pressure gauge and tachometer are still reading higher than they should be..so looks like some attention to the gauge cluster itself will be required if it bothers the new owner that they do not read accurately..the battery,fuel and temp gauges all seem to be reading accurately..
And also,the sway bar links I mentioned are now replaced with energy suspension polyurethane pieces.

GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs

Mon, Oct 15 2018

Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.
