Hello

I am new to this forum and I am in the process of buying a Camaro. I used to own a metallic blue 87 Iroc Z28 with the 350 and t roofs as a first car and now at 40, I want my first car back.

I am looking for 87-90 Iroc with a 350 which has not been modified extensively. However I could be talked into a 91-92 Z28 with either a 305 or a 350. I found one on CL. I am a Canadian and this car claims to be a local car with 130 000 km on the clock. The owner has posted it as a 25th anniversary heritage edition. I am familiar with this edition but it does not have the tell tale striping running down the car. The owner says the paint is original. He is in the process of supplying me the VIN. I was wondering if there are key things to look for in the VIN to verify his claim. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Sorry I can not answer your question but I would suggest if you had a 350 you get a 350, on paper they a very similar but when you drive one they are very different. I have driven both cars on the same day when they where new. The L98 350 is a rock solid engine, I put several crank kits in the 305 version with as little as 15,000 miles on them. I can't imagine time has made them stronger. The only time I remember tearing into a L98 350 was when something else caused them to over heat.
