So... I'm turning 40 next month..... Related? Maybe..


I've been looking at getting a car to play with for a little while now,  I stumbled across this Iroc-Z on Craigslist the other day. Ironic, as I was just talking about Irocs with a friend and how they were the bad ass rides back in high school... I was 17 years old when this car rolled off the Chevy production line and headed over to ASC to get the top chopped off and converted to a "Factory" convertible Iroc-Z.   Turns out GM didnt produce any actual convertibles, anyone who ordered a convertible from the dealer would get a coupe produced off the line, and then Chevy shipped the car to a third party to get Converted.  I verified my VIN code is indeed a "3".....  So this is one of 3761 convertibles "Chevrolet" produced in 1988. Its a pretty rare car as Chevy produced almost 100,000 various Camaros in 1988.

The overall condition of the car I would rate very good.  The odometer reads just over 62,000 miles.  I was skeptical at first, but Autocheck came back as clean as can be, And the car drove great on the way way home.  Has some rattles on the inside, but the suspension, and steering all seemed tight and didnt hear any alarming clunks or bangs.  


I figured I'd start this blog to keep up on the progress of the restoration.  I've always been sort of a computer geek, and this helps combine the car with the computer stuff.  :)


Weather permitting, I'm going to get some better pictures this weekend.  Snapped a few in the driveway so far, but its been wet an rainy since I bought it.  I hope I didn't doom Chicagoland to an eternity of rain and snow due to the fact that I bought a convertible!
