This Iroc-Z was the loaded Camaro of its time.  It originally came with the 5.0 V8 (F).  I believe I am the 3rd owner.  I bought the car in 2002.  At that time the owner had bought a BRE 383 Stroker crate motor (approx. $5,000).  He started a family and had to sell so I bought it and invested a lot of money in finishing off the build.  The biggest cost was installing a fully laptop tunable Accel 6.0 DFI Engine Management System.  Several years ago a rod broke and I had the motor fully rebuilt.  I changed careers and didn’t even pull it out (other than occasional starts) for a couple years there to save money but it only has about 2,500 miles on it since the rebuild.  I am currently driving it and I baby it.  I would guess it hasn’t been over 70 mph since the rebuild.  New performance heads were added during the rebuild and the engine builder estimated the motor setup should make around 500 horse.  Moreover, torque is really what this motor is known for.  I have not dyno tested it however.  I do know simply with street tires I cannot hook up the power without easing on the pedal; it can also spin the tires easy upon shifting around 50 mph.  It’s an absolute monster and has the complete quality sound of a well-built muscle car from idle to cruising.  As you can tell from the pictures the paint looks great.  The previous owner had it repainted and you can see there are no black lines around the bottom of the car like many Irocs, and I think it looks so much sharper.

 

It’s a very tough decision to sell since I think of the work and money that went into making it run so strong and clean as it does now.  However I’ve wanted to also experience other vehicles and can’t without money from this car.  I am looking to get a 47-53 pickup and would be open to such trades.

 

Issues: There is minor/surface rust as seen in the pics in small areas under the hood, hatch, and inside bottom of the doors.  I sprayed these with rust stop and have garaged/stored the car so the rust hasn’t really changed at all in the 12 years I’ve had it.  It could easily be repaired if you wanted to spend time on it.  Other minor things that are cheap fixes that I just haven’t had time to do: Needs new wire or connecter for wipers as they shut off but sometimes it takes many turns to get it, headlights take a couple times to shut off, gear selector indicator can stick and doesn’t always show what gear you are in, psgr door lock works but seems a little tired, dash is in perfect shape except one corner (see pic).  Steering wheel could use a rewrap.

 

I will list some of the mods but there are too many to list everything.  I have tons of receipts.  My guess is the spending on upgrades/rebuilds alone is $20,000.  I have original parts including the original red seats (faded but no tears), a/c, and extra set of T-tops that go with the car.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
