1986 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

“Camaro stretches the limits of today’s technology,” said its 1986 brochure. Everything about the third-generation Camaro, produced from 1982 to 1992, was indeed shaped by the times. With engines capable of only a fraction of the horsepower from its glory days of the 1960s, Chevrolet had to build a new Camaro that was smaller, lighter, and more aerodynamic, with a slim and angular design that shaved seven inches off its wheelbase and weighed 500 pounds less. Thanks to its large glass hatchback and folding rear seats, the new Camaro was also more practical. Four Chevrolet Camaro models were offered in 1986: Sports Coupe, Berlinetta, and the Z28 and Z28 IROC Z performance machines powered by Chevy’s 305 cu-in V8 with Tuned Port Injectors producing 190 horsepower. How good was the Camaro IROC-Z? It was on Car and Driver magazine’s 10Best list for 1985. 

This well-preserved, original condition 1986 Camaro Z28 IROC-Z shows just under 45,000 actual miles. Being an IROC-Z, it’s loaded with factory options, including air conditioning and glass T-Tops. As Chevrolet said of the ’86 IROC Z: “Inspired by the International Race of Champions, it may be the closest thing to a race car that’s still street-legal.”
