1988 CHEVY CAMARO IROC Z, Z28, MANUAL

THIS IS MY '88 CHEVY CAMARO IROC Z WHICH I HAVE OWNED FOR OVER 6 YEARS NOW. I RESTORED IT AT LEAST 4 YEARS AGO. AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN REASSEMBLED SINCE RESTORATION. DUE TO OTHER COMMITMENTS. I HAVE ALWAYS SWORN I WOULD GET ROUND TO IT WHEN I CAN. BUT ITS BEEN OVER 4 YEARS SINCE IT CAME BACK FROM THE BODYSHOP. AND IS STILL IN THE SAME CONDITION! 
IT IS OFFERED HERE FOR SALE AT A LOT LESS THAN IT HAS COST ME TO HAVE IT RESTORED. ALONG WITH THE NEW PARTS. I WILL ADD MORE PHOTOS LATER ONCE I TRANSFER THEM FROM MY OLD COMPUTER TO THE NEW ONE. THESE WILL BE TO SHOW YOU HOW THE CAR LOOKED AND WILL LOOK AGAIN ONCE RE ASSEMBLED.
I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE A LIFE STORY ON THIS ONE. IF YOU ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED. THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THE CAR ITSELF: IS A 1988 CHEVY CAMARO IROC Z MODEL. WITH FACTORY 5 SPEED MANUAL AND 5 LITRE TBI ENGINE. THE V5 STATES THIS CAR IS A 5. 7 LITRE. BUT THIS CAR HAS THROTTLE BODY INJECTION. AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE ONLY 5 LITRE MODELS HAD THE TBI??? I AM NO EXPERT. SO IF YOU KNOW ANY DIFFERENT. THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE HAD A '92 CAMARO WITH 5 LITRE TBI. BUT THIS ONE WOULD EAT IT ALL DAY LONG! IF IT IS ONLY A 5 LITRE. THEN IT DOES GO! I AM NO STRANGER TO AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS. I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF THEM. AND THIS ONE IS PARTICULARLY QUICK FOR WHAT IT IS! PERHAPS THE 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX HELPS. AS YOU CAN LAY RUBBER IN THE FIRST 4 GEARS IF YOU WISH.  
THE CAR IS 100% NUMBERS MATCHING. ENGINE. GEARBOX. AXLE. AND ALL BODY PANELS HAVE THE ORIGINAL GM CHASSIS NUMBER ON THEM. THIS WILL MAKE IT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHEN THIS CAR DOES ACHIEVE REAL COLLECTOR STATUS AND THE VALUES GO UP. WHICH THEY ALREADY ARE IN THE USA. AND THE REST OF THE WORLD NORMALLY FOLLOWS THEREAFTER.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE JUST PRIOR TO THE CAR BEING TAKEN OFF THE ROAD FOR RESTORATION: FULL GEARBOX REBUILD. NEW CLUTCH. DIFF REBUILD. NEW WHEEL BEARINGS. NEW ALTERNATOR. NEW STARTER. NEW WATERPUMP.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AS PART OF THE RESTORATION: FULL RESPRAY IN THE SAME BLUE IT WAS IN WHEN I BOUGHT IT. WHICH IS NOT IT'S ORIGINAL COLOUR. ORIGINAL COLOUR WAS A BURGUNDY METALLIC. THIS COLOUR IS A MERCEDES 'LAZULAUTH BLUE METALLIC'. (SPARE PAINT GOES WITH THE CAR) WHILST IN THE BODYSHOP. ANY RUST ISSUES (WHICH WERE VERY MINIMAL) HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. I WAS INSISTENT ON THIS AS I HAVE BEEN VERY ANAL ABOUT THIS CAR THROUGHOUT BEING MY OWN PRIDE AND JOY THAT I DONT REALLY WANT TO SELL. BUT I CANT KEEP THEM ALL AND CLEARLY CANT GET THE TIME TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER! CAR HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY RUST PROOFED WITH WAXOIL. UNFORTUNATLEY CAR HAS PICKED UP A FEW PAINT BLEMISHES DUE TO STORAGE AND BEING TRANSPORTED TO NEW HOUSE. THESE ARE ONLY VERY MINIMAL. AND CAN BE EASILY RECTIFIED IF YOU WANTED TO. JUST WORTH ME MENTIONING IT IN THE INTERESTS OF BEING HONEST!
NEW CALIPERS HAVE BEEN FITTED AND PAINTED AT THE BODYSHOP TO MATCH THE CAR. AS HAVE THE REAR DRUMS. NEW VENTED DISCS.
ALL PANELS WERE REMOVED FROM THE CAR FOR THE RESPRAY. AND THE DOORS WERE THEN REFITTED AT THE BODYSHOP. THE REAR BUMPER HAS ALSO BEEN REFITTED.  
TAILGATE GLASS AND DOOR GLASS WERE TINTED WHILST OFF THE CAR.
THERE ARE TONS OF NEW PARTS FOR THE CAR STILL IN THEIR BOX'S FROM THE STATES. I HAVE NEW SMOKED HEADLIGHTS. SIDE LIGHTS. INDICATORS. DOOR HANDLES. DOOR VENTS. NEW OLD STOCK NOSECONE BADGE. NEW IROC Z DOOR STICKERS. 2 SETS OF METAL STAMPED AMERICAN STYLED LICENCE PLATES. A WHITE FRONT/YELLOW REAR SET. AND A BLUE SET FOR SHOW USE. NEW DOOR LOCKS. NEW IGNITION BARREL WHICH IS ALREADY FITTED. FULL WEATHERSTRIPPING SET. HOOD LINING. FLAME KIT FOR THE EXHAUSTS (EXHAUST ARE LARGE STAINLESS STRAIGHT THROUGH SYSTEM. LOUD AND FANTASTIC SOUND!!) ALL KINDS OF OTHER PARTS I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BOX'S TO REMIND MYSELF! 
WHAT NEEDS DOING TO FINISH: REFIT WINGS. HOOD. NOSECONE. FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS. FEFIT GLASS AND INTERNALS IN DOORS. REFIT TAILGATE HATCH. REFIT DASHBOARD AND CENTRE CONSOLE. WHICH ARE IN PLACE. JUST NEED SCREWING BACK IN. AND PLUG THE ELECTRICS BACK INTO THEIR SOCKETS. ALL ELECTRICS ARE IN PLACE. NEVER REMOVED OR ALTERED. SIMPLY UNPLUGGED FROM BACK OF DASH. SO REFITTING IS EASY AND OBVIOUS.  
REFIT ANCILLERIES TO ENGINE. TBI. WATER PUMP. ALTERNATOR ETC. ENGINE AND BOX ARE STILL IN PLACE. NEVER REMOVED. ENGINE PAINTED IN HEATPROOF BLACK PAINT. AND HEATPROOF BLUE ROCKER COVERS. WATERPUMP IS NEW AND PAINTED TO MATCH ROCKER COVERS. ALTERNATOR IS NEW.  
WHATS MISSING: NEEDS A FRONT SCREEN AS OLD ONE WAS STONE CHIPPED.  AND IT CRACKED WHEN BODYSHOP REMOVED IT. A NEW ONE FITTED AT YOUR HOME BY AN AMERICAN CAR MOBILE WINDSCREEN SPECIALIST IS £250. DETAILS OF 2 SUPPLIERS WILL BE GIVEN TO NEW OWNER.  NEEDS A BATTERY. I DID BUY A NEW AND VERY EXPENSIVE ONE FOR IT. BUT AS IT HAS SAT FOR LAST 4+ YEARS UNUSED. IT WILL NOT CHARGE NOW.
i HAVE THE V5 LOGBOOK IN MY NAME AND THE KEYS. ALONG WITH LOADS OF RECEIPTS FOR WORK AND PARTS. ALL KEPT IN A HISTORY FILE ALONG WITH WHAT IS LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET.
CAR IS FITTED WITH STUNNING AMERICAN RACING ALLOYS WHICH LOOK AMAZING WHEN POLISHED.
I CANT REMEMBER EVERYTHING. SO PLEASE ASK IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ELSE.  
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY EASY. REWARDING. AND ENJOYABLE WINTER PROJECT. WITHOUT THE MASSIVE EXPENSE OF RESTORATION. THEN YOU HAVE JUST FOUND IT. YOU CANNOT RESTORE THIS CAR AND BUY THE PARTS FOR THE PRICE I AM ASKING FOR THIS CAR. I MAY CONSIDER A DEAL AGAINST ANOTHER CLASSIC THAS ON THE ROAD (EBAY RULES APPLY) I AM INTERESTED IN AMERICAN CARS AND CLASSIC BRITISH FORDS MAINLY. BUT HAVE AN INTEREST AND PASSION FOR ALL CLASSIC CARS AND MOTORCYCLES. SO TRY ME. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? 
PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CLEARED FUNDS READY TO SPEND TO BUY THIS CAR. OR SOMETHING TO DEAL WITH I MAY BE INTERESTED IN. I HAVE NEITHER THE TIME OR PATIENCE FOR MUPPETS. GENUINE ENTHUSIASTS/BUYERS WILL HOWEVER BE AFFORDED EVERY COURTESY.  
COLLECTION AND VIEWING IN BRISTOL AREA NEAR YATE.
