im thimkin bout buyin this car off a friend of mine it is a 1983 z28 iroc-z wit no motor and a 5-speed tranny. i've looked and cant find anything about the z28 iroc-z in the year 1983. can someone tell a lil bit bout this car. i can get it for a lil bit of pocket change and i dont want to pass up a good deal. i know there would be some work but this car wit a tiny bit of body damage that can be fixed with a sldge and some spray paint for a $150.00? anyone know anything i'd appreciate it.

 

There's no such thing as a 1983 IROC-Z. You can get a 1983 Z28, but there were no IROC-Z Camaros until 1985.

Aside from that, you will want to change out that transmission 'cause you'll blow it apart if you put in an engine that makes any kind of power.

Got any pics? I personally wouldn't say it's a bad deal based on what you said, but pictures always make it easier.

 

yea that tranny is no good. how bad is the damage?

 

I'd say not too bad if you're good with a sledgehammer and a rattle can.....

 

well saint ebony, the glovebox has a emblem that says iroc-z z28, so thats just what i thought but if ur right which u probably r i'd say it was a just a z-28, or the boy just dont know what year it is and thinks he does,or its not the original glovebox door. i dont have any pics yet but as soon as i get some i will post. and i do plan on puttin a 350 in it which is what ive been told come out of it, but i plan on beefin it up some and i'll just leave the tranny in it till i blow it up. save some money and time. the damage aint really that bad it was just metal that is messed up no fibereglass so im ok there. i appreciate it if yuns know anything else let me know.

 

Get the VIN and run it through one of those VIN-check sites, it'll tell you what year it is.

You can also check the RPO codes inside the center console. If you see "B4Z" it's an IROC-Z, which also means it's not a 1983 car.

Either way, for $150 it's either going to be total crap, or a hell of a steal. 'tis your call which

 

You can call or think that car for $150 is z28-irocz or anything else but just a emblem dose NOT make it one.

 

150 i would take it. this way you can build it up to your likeing. does he have any inf about the car and know what it really is. even if its not a z28 its still a camro for 150
