This deserves to be in a museum what a movie icon of the 80's era

I was a mechanic at a Chevrolet dealer's garage during the time this car came out. All of us in the shop got to check in new cars and prep them for sell. The IROC's paid more because there was more to getting them ready. At 7:29 minutes the man talking says he doesn't know why the passenger side doesn't have plastic on it. The drivers side has plastic on it to protect it from getting dirt or grease on the interior panel between the factory and the dealer. The passenger side didn't require any plastic. I got to check in a 1987 Buick GNX also. The best part was taking those cars for a test drive to make sure everything was working as it should.

This car needs to go to a museum of automobiles without question, a very fine example of preserving an original masterpiece.

Still one of the best car videos on KZfaq...never gets old

I've never wanted to wash a car so bad in my life lol.

Gotta love a speedometer that only goes to 80. "Sir do you have any idea how fast you were going?" "80?"

I had an '86 in highschool back in the mid-late 90's. Always loved these. This is amazing.

I had a 89' back in the day. The year I graduated. Mine had cross fire FI, It was pretty fast. Memories... Man time Flys! The good old days what I would do to go back

I had one same year. Sick fuckin car. Til I partied one night and totaled it. Yes, I am a dumbshit. Now I drive a fuckin mini-van.

It's missing the factory gold chain that came with it.

This video is over 10 years old. Thanks KZfaq 😂 Edit: Thanks for the likes guys!

I remember when I picked up my brand new 1985 IROC, of course it was at the dealer and clean and shiny. :)

That's every car enthusiast's dream. This is the first case I've come across where the vehicle still has the factory wrapper,writtings,price tag, etc. This trailer find is just amazing, my question is, how did it end up in the trailer and so as the plymouth?

Wonder if it has that new old car smell.

Many haters of these third gen cars..Personally, I love them.

Great in the snow, hung out with some guys that always showed up when it snowed. We had a huge parking lot to play in, and the cops didn't care! I had a second gen, but the IROC was just a crazy donut and drift car in snow!

Recorded with a 24 year old video camera for authenticity

A friend of mine bought one just like this in 1984. I remember going to the dealership with him to pick it up. It was also a 5 speed. It was a great car. But he could never beat me in my 1975 Hurst Trans Am :) What a great find. Thanks

This is truly an amazing thing to find a piece of history in the back of a trailer

Imagine a Camaro selling loaded for that price today. Dealers couldn't keep them on the lot long enough lol. And that's the problem today's cars are far from reach for the average worker.

How is the finder of this Z not acting like a fan-man ("fan girl"). This automobile is absolutely a beautiful find. Still wrapped, 4 miles! Hot dam I would have been ecstatic ear to ear smile. I would keep it as is and that would be my ride or die babe. Till the end. Awesome find to whomever found this.

Well now wait a second, if this car has been untouched and it's still in pristine, ''new'' condition... Why does it not have factory wheels? Something seems fishy. I come from a big Chevrolet family, I had some of my kin take a look, and they all agree. We know a lot about Chevrolet and reading the comments you do as well. It makes me proud seeing so many fellow Chevrolet brothers and sisters on KZfaq. My grandfather owned Novas, my dad owned these, and of course me being the new, younger generation took a liking to... the Corvette. I love Corvette's so much I even made a song about one. Could you please take a listen and help a young kid out? If you liked the song come back and like this comment so everyone knows it was worth the short listen!

That is one 80's camaro I would love to own.

So that car has been sitting just as long as the roadrunner in front of it! I think the real story is the road runner!

Honestly if I'd of owned it I would have cleaned it up and got it back mint and then drove it every single day thereafter.I hate guys who buy cars for their low miles just so they can stare at them all day everyday.Cars are meant to be driven,I understand how you would feel quilty putting miles on a car with so little on it but I'd feel even more quilty for not letting it soak up those miles like it was intended to do.

12 to 15 years old car standing in the same place, the air pressure in the Tyre is perfect not even close to flat.

1st time i EVER heard one of that gen open the door and it NOT squeak & not rattle when the door shut bc of the weight of the door opening and closing. The inside is the best I've ever seen inside one of them except when it was replaced. Awesome gem!!

2008? Nah 9? Nope 10? Negative 11-18? Nahhhh 2019? *Deploy video*

That is a GREAT video! At least this car was sold to a collector who will appreciate it for the circumstances!

fire it up, let us hear those 120 horses.

3:15 They just don't make...... window stickers like that anymore 😂😂😂

I can't remember whether it was Motor Trend or Car & Driver but I read an article about this thing, years ago. Amazing how it was just frozen in time for decades.

that car will be worth a lot of money 31 years ago.

Just gonna ignore the Plymouth in front of the chevy?

Had an 82,84,85 and 86......put em' all in the bone yard.Also had an 82 and two 86 Firebirds...also wound up in the bone yard.Those were some drunk and stupid days.Lucky to be alive.🙏🙌

I had the same car.. watching this brought back all the memories.. at the dealership weekly.. the transmission smell and catalytic converter fire🔥..oh the memories......

Wow, all the hateful comments and downing of this amazing find. For those who claim 'a modern Kia could outrun it', I have to be one old enough to remember when these were the 'style', and I hate to break it to you kids, but one of the first things many did was pull that 275-hp 305 and drop in 400+ 'replacements' with a Borg-Warner T10. These cars were low 15's stock, the 5-speeds could get into the high 14's, and I don't know a Kia yet that can do this for $16k and with a clean-up 30 years later, turn $27k at a Meccam's Auction with a minimal clean-up investment. FYI, the 64-1/2 Mustangs were almost all 6-cylinder 'economy' cars, too - they were (and are) STILL an investment. Go play with your 'good-for-one-year' iPhone version whatever.

Should have contacted GM to see if they wanted it for the museum! They probably would have paid good coin for it too.

What!?!?!?!! Very cool. Now I feel like watching reruns of “Miami Vice”. You be Crockett and I’ll be Tubbs.

This is like having a dream of finding an untouched old car. Except it's in real life

I had exact same one in collage white and gold with gold wheels .. Loved that car favorite thing was there was a light bulb in the engine bay you unscrew it and it had 5 feet of extra wire so you can use it anywhere on that engine

my dad had an 89 iroc, until i came along

Black, T-tops, 5spd......and BAM the base LG4 :/ Like meeting the "Perfect girl" and finding out she has 5 kids

Hey!! I like this car! It's from 1985,when I was 17 and high school! Let me relive! Those memories!! It's been 34 years now! A looking time ago!!! Now is It here 51..My GOD!

makes me sad to know that this car will probably never be driven, cars don't like to sit around they like to drive

In the 80's, we drove 1960's Musclecars, because we hated these kind of cars

I'm collecting dust too right now, in my recliner chair

I just bought an '85 Firebird today. It is crazy how similar these 2 cars are. Basically the same thing with a different badge, and different bumpers.

Where's the big excitement ? The guys voice was like "meh, brand new...so what".

why are you touching the car with all of the dust over it scratching the sht out of it

Lol loving all the comments from the kids who where only there in tad pole form! How do y’all remember that I can’t remember last week?

When that car came out i wanted one so bad it hurt . My rich Uncle bought both my girl cousins brand new Irocs we all went to the same high school i drove a old mazda pickup i found in a backyard . The day they got em both of them bitched and cried literally tears because they weren't the right color no joke . I realized at that moment rich kids suck I bought a used one years later It took me years to rebuild it , wile i worked at a sawmill all week and fought MMA in casinos on weekends . It wasn't as nice as theres but knowing how hard i worked and the pain and hard times i went thru to earn it every drive was nothing but pure happyness and pride . Just recently i had to sale my GSXR 1000 I rebuilt . It was my baby but a family member got seriously sick so i sold it . I live 30 minutes past Seattle and im trying to find a good deal on another sport bike now ive done it before ill do it again . Its awsome to see someone finding a treasure like this congrats fellas.

Does it still have the new car smell??

Who stores a modern car minutes after purchase? Thieves?

T-Tops (They all leaked) manual trans and the upgraded interior! I had an 89. Loved that rattle box. Flexed like crazy, the car would literally twist when you floored it. Fun cars, would love to have one in pristine condition. 15 second car.

Factory new never used T-Tops......still leaks haha

With an "Eyebrow" Raising 190HP

Ok i finally clicked this video over years.

God damn a iroc in that shape is gotta be worth $700, maybe $800. Them some lucky boys.

very nice find and a very beautiful ride

sweet 70 Roadrunner sitting in front of the Camaro as well

to bad it's an 80's "Muscle Car". Would have been sick it were a late 60's or early 70's Muscle car. Either way pretty cool find.

I’m absolutely speechless. Did u do anymore videos on this one

Dude i got cold chills when you opened that door

An amazing find. Thats a true time machine immediately jumping you back 34 years! Incredible.

Those wheels and tires are not original- Maybe placed on because it was stored?

Your low enthusiasm is Killin me!!!

I worked in the new car dept as a tech prepping and checking the new cars as they came from the factory at a chevy dealership in costa mesa ca the year that these first came out.... So for me to see one again after all these years with the sticker etc still on it is really a trip... When the very first few of the IROC's started coming in they all had some issue that made the check engine light be on/stay on... Its been a long time since then and I don't recall all the details exactly but as I recall it was a known issue on all of them but was deemed not a real problem. more of a malfunction in the check engine light itself. An official service bulletin had not been put out yet on how to correct it but there were people who had already bought and paid for there cars and wanted them.. So, and I don't know if this happened at all dealerships or only at the one I worked at but the order came down for me to just disconnect the check engine light and sign off on the cars and let them go... I can understand the logic there at least how it was presented to me at that time but still it was my name and word on that paperwork and I did not like at all being forced to say everything was fine with a vehicle when I knew there was some issue and was told to hide it.... Very shortly after that or perhaps at the same time myself and my dirrect boss and another coworker were all talking as another tech was prepping a new pickup when all of us heard something hit the funnel as some oil was being put in. the tech actually working on it saw it was a small nut but was not quick enough to do anything and it went into the engine... We all tried trying to see it in there and the tech who's job it was tried like heck to fish it out with a magnate but nothing worked.. the sales manager came back saying the guy who bought it and was waiting was a real prick and pitching a bitch so the call was made to just let him take it and deal with any issues in warranty if problems arose... You know, I can then and now see the logic in those calls. But my word means something to me and I just could not live with being forced to do things I thought not right so I quit that job, partly over those IROC's..... Seeing this brings that all back up... Really my only point here is i sure wonder if when they get it started if that check engine light is going to be stuck on or not..... Im not really sure what the first year was and maybe this is later so it would not apply... but a bit of inside trivia for anyone interested anyways..... I know and see all the time a 69 shelby gt350 thats been burried in a garage for over 20 years and looks all orig and flawless under all the dust... I hope I get to post a video of it one day if i ever talk the guy into pulling it out....

Was unaware that they came equipped with snow tires.

BUT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT IS WORTH A HELL OF LOT MORE MONEY

I had a 1987 IROC fully loaded was my first car :-) good video guys I wish you were just a little more knowledgeable about the car and actually talked instead of just mumbling.

Wow, that seemed super close back then, and even closer now!!! Lol ? Sure does bring back alot of memories !0l!

if that was me looking at the car I would be squealing like a happy pig. That was a time capsule at its best.

The thing that sucks is I couldn't use the cassette player since my music collection is on 8 track tapes. 😞

I am so happy for you dude, I wish I had that thing!!

Increíble video, que lástima ver esos autos que no fueron parte de ningún " carrete " juvenil, saludos desde Chile.

I've always been curious - how do you sell something from a "barn find?" Is the barn property yours? If not, how do you claim it? What if the original owner is dead?

Screw the 'maro. I want the 70 Plymouth that was in the front

Joe dirt special. Did it have a pack of cigarettes and 6 pack of Miller lite somewhere inside. That being said , in the chevy community this is certainly a nice reference point for future car restorers to understand proper part placement , color , etc. Fun find.

That was awesome! I wish i could find a Cadillac Deville 1977 in this condition. :(

I was REALLY LUCKY in high school I see now better! I had a Black/Gold trim 85' IROC-Z!! It was In perfect shape! Bought it off the lot at a small local dodge dealership in 1992 for I believe $5,800! Flawless shape with the good 16'' rims, T-tops, and I had a pussy magnet installed (not really but kinda lol)! Had no troubles going thru girls. SHIIIT now I'm gonna have to start shopping for one again! It was real fast! I moved fro iowa to cali when I was 18yrs old not knowing a single person there! Once I got there I traded for a PERFECT midnight smoke green Mustang 5.0 gt hatchback! I'm NOT a ford fan whatsoever but I had always wanted one! Mustang "felt quicker" when driving... But hands down my iroc wudda walked it!! Now Im older and have totally redone an 80' Malibu! Sleeper look but fun to mess with young kids in dad's car! They never expect what happens when they pull up and say green let's go!! awwhhh to go back to the high school days!! Best Days of ANYONES life! To bad we never believed that when we were that age huh?!?! bEe--

how come the blue car in front of it is clean with no dust ?

Legend has it that the car is still dusty

Made me nostalgic for the 86 IROC I had back in 89 until I remembered how many T-5s I broke and, why I nicknamed it "Flexible Flyer". With the factory T Tops, if you didn't install subframe connectors, if you took a sharp corner, you could actually watch the dash twist....

the car in front of the iroc is a 70 Plymouth roadrunner why in the hell is he even worried about looking at a piece of cap iroc

What's the story on that B-5 blue 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner sitting in front of the Z-28? The owner mentions "take some pictures of the Roadrunner too!" The Roadrunner would be worth way more than the Z if it's in the same condition as the Z.

NO REAR FLOOR MATS?!? DEALS OFF OLD MAN!!

I was wondering about the tires also since they didn’t lose air. Also does the engine lock up after sitting for so long? If so did they have to overhaul it?

It funny how this cars interior is so much like the 85 Fiero GT

Doc Brown and Marty are gonna wonder where there back up time machine went?

Now that would be cool to find. Old car still wrapped.

I would pamper that car and drive it as it was found. Wouldn't mod it or change anything about it, call me boring but I just love cars out of the box in stock format. Great find friend and thank you for documenting it!

Brand new car with those wheels and tires?? The tires aren't even the same all around

So the man finally got out of prison and still has his stolen car?

I think I can vaygly remember a friend of mine talking about those type of cars but never seen any pictures or videos of one.

My friends dad won the lottery in the 80's a bought a brand new iroc drove it for a week and parked it I mean it has less than 1k miles on it. His dad passed away so it's now his car and still sitting in the same place it's been.

i'm betting the dealership was in troubled times, and a few nice inventory pieces conveniently disappeared. afterall, it came from a NJ dealership out near the horse race track

Thats pretty damn cool. I'd love a find like that. Driving anything that old the way it came right off the showroom floor would be awesome no matter what car. But a manual Z28 is just an awesome find. Any video's of this thing cleaned up with some new wheels?

This is a Chicago car based on '85 bears. U r very fortunate immaculate too. Congratulations bro.

My step father has a 89 with 63 thousand original miles on it that car is one of my fav of all time number one is a grand national ✊🏾✊🏾
