Here is a pic of an original IROC Camaro. The site says it's a '74, but it's obviously not. 1974 Penske
That's a cool site! Haven't seen it before!
Looks like a '75 Camaro IROC to me.

What makes it so obvious its not a 74? Big bumpers were from 74-77 unless they didn't race IROC in 74, but I know jack about IROC.

Small rear window on a '74, and that one is wrap around. Not a '74. They also didn't have an IROC series until 1975.

I thought the window ended in 73. Guess I need to brush up on my mid years.

Actually, the IROC series did start in 1974. But that first year, they used Porsche Carrera RSR's. For the second year, 1975, they started using Camaro's, built that year by Penske.

Yes, I knew they were Porsche first, but meant the Camaros started in IROC when I said 1975.

At the top of the page it says

If a part begins with the letter "G" under "PART#" it is referring to fiberglass.
Any other instances are describing steel parts.
If you hit Cntrl-F and type "Motion" in the box and hit enter it takes you to the item. Under part number it says g. That would be glass. 4 piece kit is $249, not bad really I guess. I like that look too.
