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. 
Payment
Deposit of US $2,000.00 within 48 hours of auction close
Full payment is required within 7 days of auction close
Car will not be released until funds have completely cleared.
I will assist in shipping provided you set everything up and pay all costs.

Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks

Fri, Aug 1 2014

If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
