- Recently I went to an auction to check out a couple cars and stumbled across this 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z.... with only 116 original miles! How crazy is that?!? Apparently it's never been registered. The original owner had a small collection of cars and almost all were low-mile originals. In this video I've got a little history of the '89 Camaro IROC-Z and of course the auction results. How much did you think it would go for? Did the new owner get a good deal, or overpay? Let me know what you think! With RPO N10 The 5.7 TPI was rated 240 hp. You could get a manual transmission with the IROC Z, but only with the 5.0 v8. When you upgraded to the 5.7 only an automatic was available. Interesting.

So what do you think? Was this car a good deal? Or did the new owner overpay?
It was a good buy good price
Way over what it’s worth! You can get one with 15 thousand for 10 gs
Brady - that's why I was interested to see what it would go for. Low mile cars like this are still cheap, but you don't see a car with 100 miles every day. So kind of a weird situation. I actually think it was a speciality dealer that bought the car. I'm sure they'll find a buyer for 70K at some point... but it might sit on the lot for 2-3 years.
@@CarsAndZebras Most likely go down in value if buyer drives the car. Way over priced.
You are right, and that’s exactly the problem with this car. You can’t drive it, because the minute you do it will suddenly plummet in value.
3rd generation Camaro is my dream car. When I was 11 my dad bought a 1991 brand new off the showroom floor. It was the first car I ever drove and can’t wait to own my own beauty. Awesome car.
i hope you get/ got it. im hounding for one as i type lol
I can’t believe your not a fan of these IROCS, they are so sweet, I had one like this including those head light covers, my favorite colors Blue #1 Yellow #2 red#3
The car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it and please show more videos of the auction
It was an online auction, so nothing exciting to see there.
They always had a good rumble
Worth every penny.
I had the same car bought it in February 1989.
First thing in I'd do is remove those headlight covers
Many camaro owners and car fan's consider the third generation to be the best looking CAMARO hands down. Its actually the last all new camaro design since the forth generation was just a sleeker third gen with more power.I dislike the new boxer retro one's, it's like gm ran out of ideas and went back to the first gen since ford did this on the mustang. I have alot of memories with the third gen, even got my licence on one. Beautful car.
116 miles that's amazing
Love iroc
I have a 89 with 305 tpi five speed it’s one of my baby’s just a blast to drive
the manual must be nice
That’s the good one with the big cam! They run.
LOVE this car!!
Same car is in my garage!
That pick up at 1:09 is amazing
heck yah!
I misinterpreted your presentation on the miles. I first thought you said 116k on it and when I heard what she went for I almost fell off my chair but then you mentioned again “116 miles”!!! Yes I do think whom ever purchased this beauty got a really really really good deal on this car. Probably the only one like it on the planet. I hope the new owner just bought it as a collector and doesn’t drive. This car belongs in a museum.
I noticed there was no clutch fan on this engine? What was the last year they used a clutch fan belt driven on these cars? As a kid in the 80's my parents had a 1980 Camaro bought new in 1980 from Ferman Chevrolet here in Tampa FL and it had a 305 V-8 with a 4 BBL carb and the old style belt driven fan..Mom's 1987 Town car had a belt driven fan as well
That’s amazing but how can you enjoy a car like that not driving it.
This is 4 years ago?...Well, this car with the plastic on the seat and the immaculate condition and the options with the 5.7 engine would go for 60K + today easily. Beautiful car!
Absolutely, at vanguard auto sales in my home state of Michigan which has tons of nice older cars, (but they are overpriced on every car they sell)has 3 of these right now , a blue one just like this with 13k on it they want $64900…so this car for 55 was a steal with only 115 miles….
@@toddprater14 I just saw on sell for 60,500! an '87 IROC on BAT (bring a trailer) Y2K miles . Rare Yellow color , loaded ( 5.7, T tops, BOSE) sell for 60,500 Last week. People paying these prices are picky too. A guy bought the yellow one over a red one that sold for less because it was RED ON RED ( and I do not blame him ) His was yellow on black with gold accents outside which bothered me. However with slim pickings I would be a bit more lenient. I would have gone for the yellow over the red on red too. I think the red one sold for 55 ish, you can get on BAT and look up past sales if you have never been on there. I love watching the auctions.
@@6.2ltrv85 these are gen x cars just like a 70 Chevelle is a boomer car… now that we are older and making decent money we want this car we couldn’t get back in 1989….I had a 1987 black with black interior and gold striping and wheels 305/5speed car in 1991 I bought used for 7000 on a 3 year deal 219 a month rates were right where we are today…crazy how these 3 gens have gone up in price …I want another because I’m 54 now and miss being*21 in 1991 driving my black iroc around…
@@6.2ltrv85 yeah I been on B.A.T. And I seen some real nice ones sold in the past..some with decent miles , even a few 1 le’s….there’s a blue 1992 z28 305/5 speed on car gurus a 1LE with 2192 miles he was at 64k then went down to 58999..now he’s at like 56899 I think ….1le’s have no creature comforts they are for racing . No a/c no power windows locks etc….bigger brakes , fuel tank baffles, aluminum driveshaft, engine oil cooler…..it’s a beautiful blue …
Best looking Camaro ever made
i just bought a tidy 89low milage rs camaro im in new zealand and hoping it goes up in value
Awesome, thanks.
👍
I bought an 89 IROC 5.7 3.5 years ago with 30k miles for $5k gave it new paint carpet tires and tuneup had about $3500 in the car and it was 9.5/10ths as nice as this one and sold it for $16k a year later so yes imo $55k is OUTRAGEOUS even with only 116 miles
55k what a steal this car is a classic in excellent condition worth slot more than what he paid he got ripped off! It's valued at 95k.
@ Steven M - 95K LMAO!!!! Ya ok!
All theses videos are very very interesting!
They weren't that rare then but us kids who bought them all drove the shit out of them... changed parts. And just didn't care, they were just cars then. So to find one in that condition is very rare. Mine was identical to that car color and all..
40k adjusted for inflation plus only 15k more seems a bit low since garage rent is worth at least 1k a year.
There was one year the tip 5.7 was 245 hp but I don’t think it was this year and no manual for the 5.7.
245 hp was 90-92 on then350..89 was 240. They gained 5hp when they switched from map air sensor to speed density system.
😳 oh my God! That is my exact dream card from when I was a kid. I always said I would own one, one day that has not came yet.
Hello again, upon further examination.....this car has the G80 limited slip, and J65 disc breaks so it automatically had the G92 performance rear end gear....Now with the L98 engine (5.7) we are getting more rare.
With options like split rear seat, cargo cover and rear defogger or premium Bose sound system
NOW WE ARE GETTING RARE. The low miles really makes the car special.
Not actually true for 1989. G92 was not triggered by J65 and G80. That was true for 1987 but not 1988 and newer. Now of course being the other way around G80 and J65 along with the KC4 oil cooler (all L98's came with the oil cooler regardless) along with the GW6 3.27 gear set were triggered by the G92 performance axle option.
@@LSswapGarage1 too bad Chevy can't make a great-looking Camaro like this anymore
Car does not have g92 option , t tops (cc1 rpo) was not available with g92. They are hardtop only cars
1426 cars in 1989 had the G92 performance Axel option, yes in 1989 over 30,000 cars had G80 limited slip rear Axel, and you had to ask for J65 4 wheel disc brakes, some 12,800 cars had this. It’s my understanding that if you knew what boxes to check you could have G92 on anything. 1LE was specifically a hard top car. And you had to ask for AC delete and ask for G80, G92, and J65.
A CAR IS WORTH WHATEVER SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR IT❣👍👌
Was my favorite car to steal back then.
I owned an 85 z28. It was a fun car but not worth 55g’s by any stretch of the imagination. I thought it might go for around sticker !
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I wasn’t thinking 55k! Thanks for watching!
I completely restored my 91 Camaro and put a 400hp 5.7 in the place of the old weak 305 and I'd take 14k for my car and it's completely restored
@@CarsAndZebras I've seen cars at auction way more money than that and they were a lot uglier
3rd gen are sweet
I want that car
My '89 Firebird Formula 350 turned consistent 14:30's and 14:40's in the quarter mile in stock form. My car had the dual catalytic converters and performance axle.
Yeah they feel like LT1 4th gen till 5k when it shifts.
I almost got it right. 50k was my guess. It’s only going to go up. These are 80s iconic cars. Mustang 5.0, Trans AM GTA, IROC-Z...still a demand for them. I use to have 89 Black IROC-Z. Should of never sold it. Would love to have one again.
There were no 1989 IROC-Z Camaro's built with t-tops AND the 3.27 rear end. All good geared (G92) cars were hard tops.
I loved that car! My first car was an 83 TransAm and also briefly had a 91 Z28. Some important notes were that starting in '91, you couldn't get T-Tops and 350. That 89 had the tops and the 350. Also, in 1990, they upgraded the interior. The 1990 dash and automatic shifter share the same as the 1991-92.
As far as the 1-LE package, it was a road racing package. I'm not sure of all the details on how to order from the dealer, but my sister bought one used in the late '90s, and didn't realize what she had. The 1-LE package came w/ a 350ci engine, Air Conditioning, PWR Lock/Window, and Fog Light delete. No T-Tops either. The baffled gas tank was for road racing, so that the fuel pump wouldn't run dry in the corners. The brakes were different. From what I heard a while back, were "quick change" brakes. They just pivot'd up so the pad could be swapped quickly. Aluminum drive shaft.... Rear discs and posi axel (on both the Z28 and the Pontiac Formula / TransAm you had to specify the Z-Rated Tire upgrade/performance axel upgrade... and with that, you got the 150 mph speedometer..... if you didn't opt for the Z Rated tires, and only got the V Rated.... u got a 120mph speedo and the rev limiter kept you under that speed.... Thanks for bringing back my Teen years!!!!! Cheers!!!
Carl Rabe ..... no t-tops with 350 on 90-92 cars. I had a red 90 formula 350 no tops.....
The 1LE package did not come with a 350. It only came with a 305 and a 5-speed. also 1le package only came air conditioning delete. so if your sister had a 350 and air conditioning she did not have a 1LE!
I bought my 89 IROC right off the showroom floor. It was red and fully optioned with a sticker price of 23,000.
They never listed that high at msrp.
GM worker 😁
You are incorrect sir, the sticker price was just north of $23,000@@danielfair4675
Well he didn’t mention if it was a convertible..and 8t would have to be fully ,fully loaded and maybe dealer tinted windows and extra accessories…
@@toddprater14 It was fully loaded with t-tops, 5.7 tpi and Recaro seat covers which I've never on another IROC Z.
could find a junker and flip it and make it look worth $55k like DSE-Z (that car is wicked bad)...
and yes I have a 88 Iroc Z 5speed 305tbi no G92 but has a 3.08 gears-posi w/front and rear sway bars including a wonder bar in the front ...its Black on Black, T-Tops...its a fun car...I used to have a Black 92 Camaro Z28 5.7tpi G92 700R4 high wing spoiler (top speed 157mph) but was totaled (rear ended) by a girl on a cell phone at a stop light...miss that car...
DSE-Z very nice!!!
The DSE-Z has an LS-7, T-56 and a totally replaced suspension! I'd say that one is definitely worth a lot of money!! Lots of people are LS T-56 swapping these 3rd generation F-Bodies. They're light compared to anything made in the last decade and they hook up really good! I have an 87 GTA 5.7 TPI Hardtop, but it has the 3.27 optioned rear end. I've owned it for over 20 years and building an LS for it now that will be mated to a T-56 and a 9" Moser rear end. Gonna be one hell of a street car that's gonna hurt a lot of feelings when I'm done with it!! I have a few friends who have already done theirs and they're running in the 8's in the quarter mile on slick's. Can't wait to get mine finished!!
DSE-Z cost more than 55k
It is a lot of money but if you are a fan of this car it is a good deal
100,000 is what it's should be worth 2 million in class 1 condition!
It has chrome exhaust tips, it does not have original exhaust. From the angle of the chrome tips it looks like it has the Flowmaster American Thunder stainless exhaust system.
Interesting. I didn’t crawl underneath, so I’m not sure if that’s correct or not.
No it doesn't that's a stock walker exhaust system in that car lol
Fun fact....the trans is a TH700R4. The 4L60E and 4L80E are electronically controlled, hence the number change. Also when the 5.7 was ordered the manual transmission was not available as an option. The automatic transmission was mandatory.
Price was maybe a little high, but these cars are climbing in value fast. If you have a mint show car with under 50k miles they are going in the $20k Range and under 30k miles they are in the $30k Range.
So they weren’t “that rare” but they are an icon and hold lots of nostalgia points. Show up to a car show or a cruise night and you’ll turn a lot of heads and get a crowd because most of them were hacked up, beat on, raced and totaled. A mint, low mile, bone stock IROC is rare these days.
I would have guessed $45k range for this car. The price was high but these cars will continue to appreciate..
To the haters on these cars, they are actually nice and torquey and from stoplight to stoplight they will put you in the seat. I just drove a Porsche Carrera 4S that does 12.3 1/4 mile and didn’t feel that different than the IROC between stoplights. In the 1/4 mile drag it’s the top end of the motor that peters out. The Porsche pulls hard when you wind it out and will smoke the IROC in a drag race. It’s low end torque but it’s fun. You can take corners faster than you’d think and the handling is superior to the average car today. The 80s brakes are a little lackluster and no ABS.
The interior quality is not the best and you have to remove panels and add insulation to get rid of squeaks and rattles..
It’s one of the most fun cars to drive and I drive a lot of cars.. I’ve had 3 IROCs and they were all great, reliable cars and easy to work on.
Another point, the 5-speed was only available with the 5.0 engine but with the G92 option the manual could turn faster 1/4 mile than the 5.7 auto. There was only a 10 hp difference between the 5.0 and 5.7 TPI engines. The TPI was actually designed for the 305 so it worked more efficiently and held back the 350. The G92 manual had 3.45 gears out back..
Thanks for sharing! It's funny for me because I remember these as throw away cars when I was a kid. You could routinely pick them up for $400-500. Just crazy seeing that change
Very well put IROCZ Vert know his stuff everything he said was on the dime from light to light these cars are A blast ive own 2 convertibles .
That's a time capsule, love the 3rd gens. These cars ran mid to low 14's all day stock, trust me.
I Thought It Was Going To Mid 70K. Anyway Nice Video Mate!
That's just insane
Sure seems like some just aren't paying attention. This car has the 5.7L Tuned Port Injection engine. Rated 240 hp net. Thats 300 or a little more at the flywheel. Couldn't get the manual trans with this engine. The aluminum case 5 speed wasn't strong enough to be reliable behind this engine. Earlier throttle body injected IROCs don't compare. Look the same and handle well but stock engine output was pretty weak.
I've heard that too but I don't believe it's true. That's because this same engine was available in the Corvette with the manual 5 speed.
@richardarehart9664 the c4 Vette's never came with a 5-speed. They went straight from a 4-speed to a 6-speed in '89.
The crappy Doug Nash 4+3 manual was junk. It was a 4-speed with an automatic overdrive in the top 3 gears.
Absolute garbage.
And I've had 2 Corvettes (still have my 2nd).
I would like to know what these other cars sold for as well as how many miles on each 1.
i guessed $60k...good video
Thanks for watching! 👍
Damn i love this iroc
I wonder if my 91 rs 305 tbi uneven color bald tires would go for 55.500 dollars
$55... yes. $55k? Not unless it comes with a free 2019 ZL1. Haha
Thanks for watching!
@@CarsAndZebras no zl1 but ill throw in a 1/4 tank of gas before empty
Dang, that’s a deal too good to pass up
I think the price is a little too high, but i understand why it went for 55K.
We need to understand that even though these cars were mass produced (in its time), 30+ years later, there aren't many of these still alive AND people still remember them dearly. They are becoming harder to find and especially one with such low miles.
Yes, we can find one with more miles and restore it for way less than 55K, but it won't be the same. A factory stock classic always gains more value than a modified car. These low miles classics will end up in museums and high end car shows (winning many trophies).
A restored Camaro will look just as good as this one, but the story won't be the same for sure. This is like going back in time and getting into a 1 month old 89 Iroc. Cars like these need to be left alone and let them keep aging properly.
I own a 91 Z28 and i love it. Still turns heads when im cruising and enjoying my ride. People still walk up to me and begin to tell me how they owned one and regret selling it.
These are becoming rare with high demand for sure.
People who don't like this Third gen of Camaro because they have low power blabla etc are just haters. Just remind when they were launched and why power was reduced. What the third gen have is her unique style to make her the most beautiful Camaro of all generation. Simply. It's easy to push power on these cars so....
Not overpaid if there aren’t others to compare it with. But I wouldn’t pay that for that car.
That’s a good point.
I definitely would...can't replace memories..
Nice car is it for sale
Hey I know this video is kinda old and I'm just now seeing it can you please tell me how much did the two swb Chevys and the mustang fastback go for , I would like to know
Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a God dang hot dog
Irocz are rare to find in good shape most were raced out i happen to own A 1990 irocz convertible only 1200 were made convertible so there definitely on the rise grab it i wouldn't take under 15 grand as mines sit .
I think we'll be hitting the peak value for these cars in the next few years. The muscle car era is dying, so the 80s cars will then be on the rise
@@CarsAndZebras well im hoping they will but the muscle car is really heating up with dodge and ford the thing that will shoot 3 gen well all camaros up is GM might discontinue the camaro.
I was way off - I guessed 30K
Are the headlight covers stock?
No
The car is worth what someone will pay for it. If there were no interest in Ferraris, would the value still be high?
6:55
700r4 transmission is the only one with the tpi engine. Do you know what your talking about?
Let’s see... I know that there were two different TPI engines in the IROC. The first was a 305 when you got the manual transmission, and the other was a 350 that came with the automatic. So yes, you could get a manual transmission with, “the tpi engine,” genius. Do you know what YOU’RE talking about?
@@CarsAndZebras Thanks for noticing and yes I know everything when it cums to third gens

@@jonathanlawson4667 Not at all, P T Barnum said it all. LOL
Hello, so if the car had G80 limited slip.....G92 performance gear....J65 4 wheel disc breaks, And the 5.7 motor
Now that’s a much rarer combination....
The only real special here is the low miles........ CAR IS IMMACULATE ANYWAY!
No iroc came without a posi so it wasn't limited slip
Untrue fact....you can go on line and see that many IROC were built....but only few by proportion were ordered with the performance rear end.

Oh it’s gorgeous. Such a beautiful car from the 80’s. These are going to be a very special car at some point imho.
A car that original would increase in value above inflation being close to brand new. I'd say it's worth 60K with that few miles. A fully restored would be half that.
@@joecraig6701 do you mean the bag or the glass pieces?
Wasn't rated 240 horsepower in 89. that was the rating the final year of the third gen in 92. The 89 has about 220 to 225. also you couldn't get a manual transmission with the 350. when you got a 350 you had to take the four-speed automatic
The TPI 350 with RPO N10 was rated 240 horsepower. And what was said in the video is that you could get a manual transmission in this car. Meaning a manual transmission in an IROC Z, which you could with the 5.0. All of this information is easily accessible on the Internet, not to mention listed in the video description box.
@@CarsAndZebras yes look the horsepower ratings on the internet. you'll see an 89 a 350 TPI had 230 horsepower. To get 240 you had to order a special option dual catalytic converters so in theoretically your partially right And it was a big disappointment for people that you couldn't get a 350 with the five speed manual in the third gen's only a 305. The 305 was a horrible engine cuz the boy was so small it shrouded the valves in the head so the breathing was so par with 350 was much better cuz the larger bore unshrouded the valves
@@darrenporsch yes it did have 240 horsepower when you ordered RPO N10 with it. Again, easy to look up.

@@CarsAndZebras yes I have seen those pages
$55,000 was steep for an '89 hardtop IROC-Z. But with 116 original miles, the car was new only once. And still is.
That's not a hard top it had t-tops.
@@darrenporsch Hardtop aka coupe with T-tops.
What kills the value of most American cars from the 80’s is the strangled horsepower due to emission standards at the time. Z-28 has a 350 motor but only 190 hp. The 1969 Camaro with a 350 went 325hp. They have torque but begin bottoming out around 90. The 1969 was just getting ready to go at 90mph!
Yeah, cars were pretty restricted then. Not to mention there was a lot of issues with quality/consistency in the 80s

is the 89 iroc zstill for sale
10000

- Not so great for producing remarkable ET’s!
In this era they had started up the ladder. I personally think it's worth about that but I am a GTA boy.
That car should’ve sold but 20,000 that’s all it’s worth I don’t know how many miles though it’s not a very good selling car
Weren’t most of these 305 with an auto?
My brother had a '87 Z28. What a piece of shit it was.
Haha, they aren’t my type of car either.
Did someone out of the country buy this car ?
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it was someone in the US
@@CarsAndZebras I like to see them stay here !
I could kill my dad forever driving his 1994 25th anniversary Trans Am convertible. It only had nine miles on it when he bought it and stayed that way for 6 years tell him at my mom divorced and he needed to look cool and go get some more ass. I owned it for 6 years got a divorce and had to sell it back to him but still a beautiful car.
Given it's birth date, the miles on it, the color and the fact that it hasn't been transformed to look stupid I was say the price for a literal out of the box car like this is ok. Although this person could have spent a fraction of that price on one a little rougher with plenty of money left over to make it look and sound good as well as being reliable. To each their own though
Worst thing you can do to a car is not DRIVE Einstein : )
Not worth that much I would say tops 20k. But there must be a lot of people with too much money 💰 in their pockets? Blowing it for everyone else!!
