1987 High Performance IROC Z28

1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z28 Description

I was always a firm believer that if you owned a sports car it should be fast, have a manual transmission and 4 wheel disc brakes. This car has all of that and more.

I have owned this car for over 14 years and it has always been garage kept, stored winters and only driven a handful of days each year and only in good weather.
This 1987 is the pre-1LE version that GM officially introduced in 1988 and they only made 4 of them. This IROC had many of the similar options such as: LB9 5.0 TPI engine, G92 high performance axle (3:45 9 bolt), AC delete, Power Window delete, Power Door lock delete, Cruise control delete and engine cooler. The only thing missing from the 1988 RPO 1LE on this car was the Corvette rotors and calipers on the front, an 18 gallon baffled fuel tank and a unique PROM in the ECM.

So today, the 1987 IROC LB9 5.0 TPI rated at 215HP has been removed in favor of a 500+ HP forged 383 stroker. The Limited Slip 9 bolt 3:45 has been removed and replaced with a much stronger Moser Ford 9". Please see specifications below.
