Travel back to the 80s with this 6,000-mile, single-owner Camaro IROC-Z | Carscoops

      A third-generation Camaro from 1987, equipped with the IROC performance package, features an immaculate tan leather interior and a tuned-port injection V8 engine that delivers a tire-busting 190 hp.

      This one-owner vehicle has less than 7,000 miles on the odometer and is priced at $34,000.

      The 1987 Z28 comes with the optional IROC-Z package and includes a 5.0-liter TPI engine. Additional sought-after features consist of leather seating and a shorter 3.23 axle for improved responsiveness.

      Locating a well-maintained pony car from the 1980s is quite challenging. Muscle cars from the hair-metal era, like the third-generation Chevy Camaro and Fox-body Mustang, often experienced tough lives in the hands of enthusiasts enjoying their performance capabilities. However, this stunning '87 IROC-Z defies that trend.

      With only 6,575 miles (10,580 km) recorded, the vehicle has been owned by the same person since it was new. For those who dreamed of owning a Z28 during high school in the '80s, or who had the fortune of purchasing one new during that time, this is a fantastic chance to revisit those cherished memories.

      The IROC-Z performance package debuted in 1985 to commemorate the Camaro's participation in the International Race of Champions throughout the 1970s and '80s. This package included chassis enhancements such as lower springs, upgraded shocks, anti-roll bars, additional bracing, and unique 16-inch wheels. Opting for the IROC package also introduced model-specific graphics and the possibility to replace the carbureted 305-cu-in (5.0-liter) V8 with one featuring a Corvette-style tuned port injection.

      This specific car houses that engine, although by 1987, the LB9 TPI was no longer the top factory engine option as Chevy reintroduced the 350-cube (5.7-liter) V8 that year. The automatic-only 350 engine produced 225 hp (228 PS), while the 305 came close with 215 hp (218 PS) when paired with a five-speed manual.

      By choosing the available four-speed automatic, as the first owner did, the car had a milder cam that reduced the output to 190 hp (193 PS). However, this buyer wisely opted for the G92 optional 3.23 rear axle to replace the less engaging standard gear ratio.

      Additionally, they selected a set of Light Saddle leather seats, which are in perfect condition, unlike many Camaros from this era that have seen multiple owners and are often marred by issues like heat damage or questionable stains. What happens in high school tends to remain there, mainly because the specifics are often forgotten.

      This Camaro is currently listed for $33,995 at Rev Up Motors in Michigan. While this price might seem steep for a car that was once ubiquitous, such well-preserved examples are not found every day.

      The remarkably low mileage—though not merely a couple of digits—makes it more appealing than those rare Camaros that have never hit the road. This is an investment-grade vehicle that can still be enjoyed without the worry that each additional mile will diminish its value.
