    This here was a normal father and son project back in the 70's. Now these days it is rare. If I could give 2 thumbs up I would. Teenagers today really do not know what they are missing. Most of all, this is a great Dad, and should be proud of his son.

      man i wish my father would do sumn like this with me
      though i think his motivation to do it was killed by my brother who took his truck there, worked on it for like 2-3 days, now its been sitting outside his house for the last 3-4 years

    The IROC decals are the ultimate final touch on a IROC Z, it BLOWS my mind you made this car look awesome but left the most important final touch,,,,, IROC Z

    My father found me my first and only Camaro 13 years ago (1988 rs), and I was 15. Today I ripped it down the highway for the first time in a couple of years. I love that car and my dad.

    The fastest this old man was in one of those. It was a year or so old the frameless side windows got pulled out so much I could stick my hand out. The best part of your vid is father n son working on it together.

    My second car after a 1981 280ZX was a 1987 IROC when I was @ 20. I kept getting beat on the street by 5.0 Mustangs at the time, so I bought a 1991 Mustang convertible. I currently drive a 2008 Dodge Charger Super Bee Edition #798 fast as hell, but out of all the cars I should have kept was my IROC. To this day it just felt right driving it, I wish you well on your project I know you will enjoy the heck out of it. I'm older now and retired, you can surely bet I'm going to get another find another. Thanks for saving your's.

    Can't even sugarcoat.. This video made me tear up. My father and I were supposed to build a Camaro together, but he passed away before we started.. I was 14. I'm 27 now..

  • @TheREALOC1972

    I absolutely love these IROC's, they are the Quintessential 80's car. My neighbors nephew had one when I was a teen, his was a little bit brighter blue with Silver wheels and Silver IROC Graphics and Grey Interior. I just bought a 84 Camaro (Not an IROC) that my son, grandson and I are going to rebuild for my grandson's first car. Were going to leave the base Camaro front end on it because we all like it better but were going to put a IROC Hood and Spoiler on it. It came with the plain jane 305 so were just going to rebuild it. We have no idea what color were going to repaint it yet but were thinking yellow, that's grandson's favorite color with grey interior, we live in the Arizona and black vinyl would get REALLY hot in the summer.

  • @Viking8888
    @Viking8888 Год назад +1

    When I was 19 (back in 1994) I almost bought an 1988 IROC in really nice condition, but the guy wanted 8 Grand for it and I just didn't have that kind of money. And my Dad reminded me that it snowed a lot in the winter in BC. So I opted for a Chevy Beretta GT instead. A good reliable car, but it would have been more fun to have the IROC!

  • @LAMB53087
    @LAMB53087 2 года назад +11

    Very nice. Thanks for the video.
    I bought an '85 IROC-Z in April of 1985.
    It was a lighter, brighter blue. A one-year only color.
    Electric blue I think.
    I kept it 12 years. I traded it in in 1997 for a '97 Jeep Wrangler. I still have the Wrangler. In immaculate condition. Before I had the IROC, I had an '83 Z-28. 5.0 H.O. with 5 speed. I kept it two years. I miss those cars. They bring back memories. Now I drive Dodge RT's.

  • @robertfarris7375

    It's good you took it down to bare metal because even if a car looks great, it can hide lots of nasty surprises that will catch up with you sooner or later. You really did an excellent job. It looks even better than new!

    Nice Job! Working on a project with your Dad or Son is special. I painted few in that color, definitely one of Chevrolets best color. Painting in the garage brings back memories. The only thing I would've done differently is replace the hood. I have yet to see bondo on a hood that didn't eventually crack.

      My favorite Camaro body style, I had finally gotten one about 18 years ago and lost it In less then a couple months!
      I guess it wasn't meant to be😢 it only needed a paint job and minor interior work.
      So mad about it.
