Hi, everyone, this will be my first post and i'm going to need tons and tons of opinions. I saw 2 camaros one is a 79(350,auto) iroc z and a 91 rs(305,auto). I'll talk about the 79 first. It's a white iroc with brown interior(all power). The interior is mint mint, I was so amazed by the interior it was shocking. The car starts up runs and sounds good. It has a hurst shifter(which I never used before). The car has rust!!! both rear quarter panels, the framing on the front and rear windsheild. The frame I couldnt see to well has rust flaking and bubble rust around most areas also behind the gas tank there is rot. But for sure I know the front fenders, the rear quarters, the edges around the front(pieces of metal missing on drivers side) and rear windsheild and behind the gas tank is rotting. The lower part of the door jambs front and rear(part of rear quarter im guessing?) also has some rotting. I'm going to check more under the car soon.

Now the 91 has a 305 w/t tops, and drivers door hinge issue(guy is giving me another door). The mileage is unreliable and the odometer reads 289000, but previous owner said that it skipped from 99999 to 200000. So it could be 189000 or 289000(carfax wasnt completed but I can get one). No one knows the deal with it. Other than a little bubbling rust on the drivers side quarter it looks pretty good and nice interior also. I really wanted the 91 to be a 350, but they are very hard to find at a low price. I would still actually prefer to buy one thats a 350.


I have to check these cars out thorougly, especially the under carriage. I am worried about the rust on the 79. The guy has offered me the price of $3000 for both. I havent driven them yet to see how they drive. So let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks!!

 

Welcome to the forum and you have a tough decision, if you can, post up some pic's of the rot and maybe go from there. You have to decide which gen car you want more, remember a 350 will fit in either so pick the car you like best. Or, get both, swap motors and sell the other.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the IROC models didn't start until the 3rd generation which started in 1982. Pretty sure that '79 can't be an IROC.

 

welcome post pics

 

dude people who have 2 camaro's are dumb... and have huge ego issues

 

That's what Iwas thinking but...

 

Yeha I've never heard of a 79 IROC either...

 

Not so sure about the 79' IROC myself =P

 

Ya never know....lol

 

The first IROC was in 85. I would be leary of someone trying to sell me something like that. If it werent for the iroc issue I would go with the 79
