I think they only built a couple of cars that year that had the 5.7-liter engine. I guess you were talking about a IROC-Z.

Thre are many (2,415 to be exact) 1990 Iroc-Z's with 5.7 in them. 1990 was the last year for the Iroc. I used to have a 1988 5.7 Iroc. Basically the same car.

so this scca scop b/s is b/s or can it be true he claims the hole car is stock dif ground effects and a cowl induction hood then a reg camaro but it came stock like that

Here a link with the 1990 show room brochures so you can see what GM offered stock

Hey, are you HAZMATIC from w-body.com

Anyways 3rd gen f-bods are nice if you like the body style, but I would hold out and find a 93-02 Camaro with an LT1 or LS1 I think you'll be happier with it.

I'd agree with gimp19. After being a HUGE fan of 3rd gen cars and owning a couple Irocs i got into the 4th gen cars. A 4th gen Camaro is twice the car. It is faster, handles better, is built better, the chasis is stiffer. You wont believe the difference.

Not to mention the available 6-speed, and the converts are not hacked up hardtops. 4th gen converts are OEM factory made unlike the 3rd gens. Also, 4th gen hardtops can be fairly easily converted to T-top. The only reason I can see to get a 3rd gen car is if you really hate the 4th gen appearance.

This 1990 SCCA car could be a factory built 1LE with the 5.7 engine or a B4C police car. Check the glove box for the option sheet and look for the 1LE or B4C options. If it has the aluminum driveshaft and big brakes, it's probably a 1LE. As for the 69 TA, is it a real TA? Pretty rare and worth some good bucks.

[hazmat]

yes it is real i did pay a pretty penny for it it was in good shape when i got it but im trying to restore it perfect and put it in shows

and i dont see now option sheet in the glovebox

If it is not a 1LE car or a B4C car it is not worth anything extra. In fact, if it has been beaten to death on a racetrack it is most likely worth less. It does not sound like it is a "factory" or "dealer" installed package. You have to be carefull when you buy cars like that and know *exactly* what you are getting beforehand.

I once sold an SLP Ultra-Z. It was a special car, but the fact remained it was just a bolt-on kit I installed myself. It did not change what the car was. It was just a plain Z-28 and in the end that is all it was worth.

See what I'm getting at?
