Awesome collector toy or fully street legal (currently in az) daily driver with a lot of power that sounds awesome. This is a true iroc convertible verified by vin and RPO codes. This is a rare factory convertible (not a T-Top conversion) that has a number 3 in the 6th digit of the VIN number for factory convertibles of this year.  Only 3,940 were ever made of these.  I have owned this car for about 4 years and it has a box a title (no accidents). Also this car does not have the standard 5.0 engine, it has a much faster 350 sbc 5.7 liter.

Here is a video of the car running.

Here are some high res pics here

Irocs were only made from 1985 to 1990 and even then it must be labeled in the vin and rpo codes, or it's just an RS or Z28. You can easily Google how to verify a real iroc if you want more info. Power is near 500hp, but if you want exact you'll have to pay to have it put on a dyno which i will do at your cost (contact me to make arrangements). Its sounds like a true muscle car, and everyone loves it when I take it out, so if you want an attention getter, this is the one.

All new seals and gaskets redone 2 years ago, and all the performance mods put on, and car has been driven less than 500 miles since this time. Automatic transmission Th350 with no issues. Cold AC, passed Az emissions for another year no problems, so new Arizona tags for another year until October.

This car can be used as a daily driver if you wish, it runs great as a daily driver, never over heats, etc... no problems, just as reliable as my other car except everyone stares and points, and when i'm sitting at a light everyone also turns and a looks as where the rumble is coming from. New tags a few weeks ago,  

Engine replaced with 5.7 sbc with the following upgrades:
  • Patriot performance all aluminum cylinder heads
  • Comp 270h cam 
  • Holly stealth ram intake with high performance fuel rails 
  • Bosch 36lbs injectors 
  • New high volume race tronix fuel pump with wiring kit
  • 58mm polished holly throttle body 
  • Edelbrock headers with y pipe. Titanium coated. 
  • Flow master exhaust with full 3.5" tube exhaust piping
  • Computer chip reprogrammed.

Recent Paint job costing over 5k, entire body was dismantled, all trim was removed, ground effects, front and back, even the door locks and handles. Premium RPG paint, and triple clear coat.  It is Not a maaco paint job with bumpers, mirrors, and trim still on, those don't last, the paint will start to flake around the edges over time.  
Color is bright red, matches exact original color using original RPO codes.  I had the car painted again only because the prior owner repainted it a different red and was poor quality.   Been garaged ever since, no snow (az) and never driven in rain or storms, and only driven a few hundred miles since new paint put on. Chrome iroc replica rims. Tires have only a few thousand miles, still look great and have those rubber tabs still hanging off that new tires have. Interior is all stock.  New door and trunk molding also recently put on.

Other stuff:
ac, power driver seat, upgraded cd stereo, etc... Several other parts replaced as well such as power steering pump, starter, battery, and alternator, new brake system front/back, and new front suspension, alignment, tires balanced. I have a folder with receipts.

128k on frame, < 2k miles since all new gaskets and performance parts. I've put about 3k miles on the car since i have had it about 4 years (3,000) just driving around town and having fun.

The 3 only minor things i am aware of with this car:
  • small oil leak at oil pain (I was told), was quoted 200$ to fix, and i don't ever need to put any oil in between changes so only if you don't want a metal drip pan on your floor in between rides. 
  • small wear in the carpet just in between the 2 rear seats (center console), as you can see in the picture. Replacement carpet can be purchased online for 200$ or less. Not sure what happened, was like that when I purchased the car 4 years ago and carpet was next on my list but never had time. 
  • very small clean/cut "pinch slice" on side of convertible top, i included a photo, it's patched from the back and not noticeable unless you are very close and know to look for it.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD electric buses at Special Olympics, hybrids perform better than rated

Mon, Aug 3 2015

A new study finds that real-world fuel economy of hybrids could be significantly higher than EPA ratings. Researchers at the University of Vermont, with the help of their own "total on-board tailpipe emissions measurement system," found the fuel savings of Toyota Camry Hybrid over a standard Camry to exceed its sticker values by 18 percent on the highway and 33 percent in the city. The results of this study suggest that the projections of the fuel and emissions benefits of hybrids could be adjusted to reflect more these more positive real world values. The study's authors, Britt A. Holmen and Karen M. Sentoff, say more research is warranted based on these findings, and that "similar studies can be used to develop robust models of all types of HEV platforms under actual driving conditions and improve quantitative estimates of the future fleet contributions to the US CO2 emissions inventory and petroleum consumption." Read more at Green Car Congress. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt made an appearance at the 2015 Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Chevy displayed the silver Volt alongside a Camaro and Malibu of the same color and model year. The Volt also recently made an appearance at the premier of Tomorrowland with George Clooney behind the wheel. Read more at The News Wheel. BYD electric buses provided transportation at the Special Olympics 2015 World Games in Long Beach, CA. Shuttling 6,500 athletes required the help of multiple charter companies, including local buses from the Chinese automaker. "BYD stepped up majorly as one of our key supporters and their tremendous efforts made our athletes feel welcomed," says Long Beach Community Foundation President and CEO, and 2015 Host Town Transportation Coordinator Marcelle Epley. "We depended on them, and they came through 100 percent." Both Los Angeles and Long Beach have recently decided to purchase electric buses from BYD. Read more in the press release below. BYD Zero-Emission Buses Used to Transport Athletes at 2015 World Games LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- This week the largest Special Olympics ever was hosted in the City of Long Beach – thousands of athletes, coaches, dignitaries and families descended upon Los Angeles for what was a spectacular week of uplifting camaraderie, sportsmanship and competition.
