This 23,000 Mile 1985 IROC-Z Z28 Camaro Is A True Survivor. Too Bad We Can’t Get Any Other Info From The Seller!


This 23,000 Mile 1985 IROC-Z Z28 Camaro Is A True Survivor. Too Bad We Can’t Get Any Other Info From The Seller!

I hate it when people do a horrible job of putting up a listing on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. This is especially bothersome when it is for something super cool that I’d really like more info on because I’m interested in buying it or because I think one of our BANGshifters might be interested in buying it. At $18,900 this 1985 Z28 Camaro is about $17,000 out of my current price range, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a rad car that someone else might want to own for that. Just look at the pics, it is seriously clean and awesome, with the only downside being the automatic transmission that some poor sucker ordered with this one. Even if it made less power, I would have gotten the 4 barrel carbureted L69 305 that was backed by a Tremec T5.

I love Third Gen Camaros, I always have, and that might partially be due to the fact that my dad drove one every day when I was in Middle School. He worked at the local Chevrolet dealership, Don Murtos Chevrolet, and had a Z28 as his Demo car. It was L69 equipped, which meant it made 190 horsepower and had a T5 in it. Growing up with a 1968 Z28 in the garage meant that there was some history with stick shift Camaros in our house.

But back to the survivor here. The listing has only the following information. “Rare survivor clean carfax 23,018 miles !!! 18,900 FIRM!!! Facebook will not allow me to list a car over 2500???!?!?” so I of course reached out and asked for more information and got only the following. “Very clean, lots of records , beautiful car … 19k.” If one of you contacts him and buys it, tell him you want $500 off for lacking the enthusiasm to type out the information.

Our Bonneville Speed Week 2020 Photos Start Right Here! Pit Photos Of Cars Getting Ready For Tomorrow’s Racing!

It’s Bonneville Speed Week 2020 people!!! As usual, there are folks saying the salt sucks, folks saying the salt is great, and somewhere in the middle is probably the truth, but we’ll just have to see when the first cars make their way down the courses at Bonneville National Speedway tomorrow. It’s opening day and that means that Speed Demon will be going after big numbers in their pursuit of 500 miles per hour, along with all the other heavy hitters you expect. All the streamliners will want to be at the front of the line to take advantage of the best conditions possible, and the other racers and fans will be on site to see if they can witness history in the making. I’m pissed as hell that I’m not at Bonneville this year, only the second one I’ve missed in 14 years, but with everything going on in the world we figured it was smart to send just one of the BANGshift staff out to shoot photos and that might as well be our in house bad ass Wes Allison. He’s kind of a big deal, so we figure he’s qualified to shoot photos of all the cool stuff on the salt.

Now we want to be honest with you, the crowd seemed light today, but that happens sometimes and with COVID 19 looming over everyone we’re sure that the overall attendance at Bonneville is going to be down compared to busy years. But that’s okay, as long as racers and fans are having a good time, staying safe, and going fast.

Here are the first batch of photos, from the pits on Friday, so stay tuned for racing photos and more pit stuff Sunday too. And if you are looking for the famed Nugget Car Show photos we’re famous for, don’t worry. Those are also being posted momentarily and you can find them right here on the front page of BANGshift.com.
