General Info

This Page is dedicated to mine '89 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z.
Original paint was a Victory Red, and car featured 'Gold Package' - golden rims, golden stickers (they were removed tough, because car was repainted in the past), and tan interior.
Car is equipped with LB9 engine (305 cid V8 with TPI intake), TH700R4 automatic transmission. It has removable roof panels - so called t-tops, leather seats.
