Heres a great way to get a speedy classic that is gaining major popularityand#44; on a budget. This 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z/28 convertible almost looks stock from the outsideand#44; but keen eyes will start to pick up on the subtle touches that lead to the LT1 beast within. Its hard to find a more desirable 1980s machine than an IROC Z/28 Camaro. Either you had oneand#44; or envied one at some time in your lifeand#44; and just like Ray-Ban Aviatorsand#44; these never went out of style. There was just something about the sharp-edge styling and ground effects that made these the kings of the boulevards in the 80s. It only gets better with a rare ragtop (only 744 droptop Zs in 87) that lets you go for a wind-in-your-hair cruise whenever you desire. And Camaro fans know that 1987 is a special year because its not only the first year for the 4th gen convertiblesand#44; but also its the 20th anniversary of the Camaro badge. This car celebrates its history perfectly by living up to its Bright Red paint namesake. And since we suspect most of the paintwork is originaland#44; you can just imagine the level of care thats gone into this convertible over the last three decades. Plusand#44; the black stripes are a great complementing piece to the headlight surroundsand#44; hood slatsand#44; and black cloth folding roof. And like any good American classicand#44; there is always room for brightwork. On this its reserved for the shining alloy wheelsand#44; which keen eyes will also realize this is hint to the younger Chevy legend under the hood (more on that in a moment.) The black exterior accents also do a great job of coordinating with the black interior. In factand#44; it feels like the colors have swapped as a deepand#44; dark finish dominates the interior with an aggressive red reserved for the accents. Just like the outsideand#44; there has been a lot of care to keep the inside looking amazing also. These cars struck the perfect balance between comfort and performance. You feel it the moment you slip into the high-back bucket seatand#44; and your right arm fall perfectly onto the center console. The original AM/FM/cassette stereo and heat/defrost controls are all within an easy reach of here. You get the comfort of an updated Chevy steering wheeland#44; and beyond that is a full gauge panel including a large speedo and tach. All you need is one quick peek under the hood to know that is something very special in the engine bay. Camaro fans would have to wait until the 4th generation to get the Corvettes LT1 as an optionand#44; but this special Z/28 is re-writing its history. Now with the more powerful electronic fuel-injected 350ci C4 motorand#44; this Camaro has over 33% more power than what the factory could install in 87. On the road the extra power is put to good use thanks to the total control provided by the IROC-Zs package that came with four-wheel disc brakes and a limited slip rear end. But there is more to this package than just high-speed fun. It has high speed cruising in mind with the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Soand#44; this added-power classic is also easy to take on the long haul. A total package thats beautifully presentedand#44; and has a healthy power upgrade makes this Z/28 convertible very desirable. And the affordable price on this rare rocket means you have to hurry if you want it to be yours. Call now!! |
