Exterior:
The exterior of this car has good paint overall for an '88 model. The front bumper has typical chips from roadway driving. There is a dime sized ding on passenger door as well as a small rock chip on driver door; both are hardly noticable. Fiberglass wing is starting to crack underneath from vibration also a little around the base area where wing is fiberglassed to hatch. Equipped with a super nice fiberglass cowl hood. Has full decals for the Iroc Z, 434 engine and 500 horsepower bragging rights. Wheels are original aluminum Iroc Z; center iroz z sticker is missing from 1 wheel. Tire tread is good for the front 2 tires and ok for the back two; see pics.
Interior:
The dash is in great condition with no fading or cracks. The headliner is in great condition as well as the t-tops. Equipped with a Sony brand cd player. Vehicle has a non-smoking owner and smells good inside. The seats front and back are in good shape except for some wear to the drivers front as shown in the pictures. The carpet is in good shape for the age except for the area behind the passenger seat could use some attention. The door panels are in great condition for their age. All knobs function properly and are intact and the power windows roll up and down. This vehicle is equipped with air-conditioning although the system doesn't get cold and needs recharged. The switches seen in the pictures in front of the shifter go to the electric fans for the engine. T-tops remove easily as they should and fit right back into place with no leaks. Included in the trunk is the factory t-tops cover to keep them scratch free when taken off. The security awning in the trunk is tear free and rolls in and out as it should. The trunk shocks can't support the weight of the wing and won't keep the trunklid open on their own.
Driveability:
This Engine and all new parts only have 2,200 miles of use. Transmission is 700R4 with completely rebuilt kevlar bands and nitrous 2600 stall torque converter. Corvette servo rear end and Borge Warner positive traction 3.77 gears. Car has aluminum drive shaft with complete set of subframe connectors. Vehicle drives straight and does not pull left or right. There are no strange squeaks or rumbling at highway speed and the engine runs smooth with no hesitation. Transmission shifts perfectly and smoothly. Radiator does not leak and oil level is right on the full mark. Please remember this is a 500 horsepower car and is not a toy (well, not for just anyone). It does have serious torque and serious power and I would NOT recommend buying it for your teenage son to learn how to drive on. Horsepower is rated around 500 and that is a modest estimate. That being said don't take my word for the power of this engine, call and schedule a test drive for yourself.

Don't miss this opportunity to steal a bargain on a fully decked out Collector level Iroc Z with 500 horsepower. This vehicle is being sold for a personal friend of mine and has been greatly taken care of. This is not one of those ebay auctions where some guy bought it at another auction somewhere and doesn't know anything about the engine or history of the vehicle. All questions about this vehicle can be answered with honesty from someone who knows the vehicle.
