PhillLsx Ga. A black 00-02 WS6 6-speed is in my opinion one of the coolest cars ever made and definitely a car I want to get in the future. The reason for getting rid of my Iroc was because it was a 305 auto and I didn’t have the cash to do what I really wanted to do with it. And when I got in my LS3 6-speed it was a night and day difference lol.

I had an '87 Camaro RS-Limited that I bought brand new for $20K and had it made over with the hood and decals to look like an IROC-Z. Shortly thereafter I got married and sold it for $6k with maybe 30k miles on it, or not even that. My wife, 33 years later, is still mad about it. When I showed her a few of these videos and she saw that these are selling for $35K now, boy was she miffed.

Very impressive build ya'll. Your attention to detail and engineering efforts are high quality. Probably the best IROC Z I've seen built. Thank you for showing us Brad's car and what can be accomplished.

What a truly unique build, I'd say absolute genius. Looks and sounds perfect,great job.

This was one of thee cars to have in the 90's. Especially in high school. I was in high school in the early to mid 90's. When the new F-Body Camaros & Firebirds came out. So having the IROC style and the new F-Body Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am were thee cars to have. I had the pleasure of riding in a red 1992 Camaro RS and in a red F-Body Firebird. The Firebird was quick as heck. Both were V6

This is one of the sickest builds I've seen in some time. That 3rd gen looks right at home amongst todays popular hot rods especially with all the trick stuff done to it. Congrats on a super nice ride!!

Love that beast! One of my favorite cars as a kid. Sweet resto mod.

GORGEOUS!! Absolutely beautiful

Bruce at hawks motor sports what a epic build on this 87 IROC-Z. The best I’ve seen so far to this date. Heart of a 2015 and a body of 1987. Just awesome.

one of the finest IROC-Zs I've seen to date ! I like how the original formula of the 3rd gen 80s car was freshened up with modern components of the zeta generation Z/28, especially the mighty 427 in it !

I bought a 1986 Iroc Z 5 speed manual brand new back in the day...22 years young I was. Say no more. I can't tell you how bad I want to get another gen 3 and do an update similar to this one. Beautiful work and plenty of power.

WOW! When money isn't really a factor. Nice ride!

You open the hood to show it off, we can't help but see the headlight buckets and the grime on the lights. I'm a fabricator and I saw it. I imagine a detailer would be in mental distress haha.

brings back memories, I bought new in fall of 85, a 1986 black and gold z28 with beige interior and was loaded with 5 speed, t tops, etc... Real beautiful car Wish I still had it.

When the fans kicked on, i thought we were under attack. Dope iroc!

No rust to speak of. Still cant believe it. Anyway, she'll be going in the shop soon for her makeover into a killer queen. Pretty stoked. Thank you Lord.

That is a awesome result. These are the best builds. No flairs, or some weird body modifications, some nasty metal work that does not do anything. Jus a nice clean totally functional race ready car. Awesome.

By far the best rebuild I've seen. Sick!

Holy hell man that thing is damn gorgeous. I really like seeing things I might actually be able to afford one day, rather than just the wild million dollar builds. Just coz it don’t have a thousand horsepower that don’t mean it shouldn’t get a video

Looks great! In my 20s, I had an 84 Z28 with a Herb Adams upgraded front and rear suspensions, mainly beefy sway bars, and it could out-corner any car. It was a stripped down 305 HO (no smog pump), 5 spd w/short shift Hurst,TB work, 3 inch no cat Banks exhaust, and 4:10 rear. I could take on and off ramps at fantastic speeds. I can only imagine what the Detroit Speed set-up is like. When I'm done paying off my daily driver next year, I hope to find a clean 80's F-Body to work with for my 50th birthday treat.
