Steve,

You may be interested to know that 1987 was the only year you could get a Yellow L98 IROC. Look for G92 on the RPO sticker (located in the console). It is the performance package which gave you 4 wheel disk, posi rear, better rear gear, bigger front brakes, dual cooling fans and engine oil cooler.

GM Canada can also document the car for you even if it is a US car! I'm speaking from experience since I have an '88 IROC from California. It takes a little longer than usual but it is nice to have GM docs for it.

Enjoy,
Hylton

Talked to the original owner today. Nice guy. He bought the car off of the lot at Bennett Chevrolet in Allentown, PA in Fall of 1987. The dealer had put in the woodgrain kit (Don't you all fondly recall the days of those extra "dealer added value" window stickers?) He paid $18k for the car which stickers for $21K. He is going to check his papers to see if he has any of the original paperwork on the car. He said he never had a mechanical problem with the car in the 8 years he owned it and he never drove it in bad weather. Its hard to believe this car was buiilt 19 years ago. That was the year I graduated from college...boy am I old. At least the car has held up better than me!

Nice car Steve. You'll appreciate the reliability and decent gas mileage you get with these compared to 69 cars. There is a certain calmness about driving around in these that you do not get when driving the 69 around. Maybe it's the fact that your not in a $80,000 car and it is still a fun car.

Paying next to nothing for good used parts is also nice!

After I pulled out the woodgrain panels I gave them to my kids to do something creative with them. They promptly nailed them to the interior of their tree house to make it look a little more natural.
