Yes, 4.3 miles. Not 4.3k or 43k--4.3.

Seems worth the $22k he's asking (in terms of future investment potential) While not an heirloom, it certainly is an interesting unearthing.

As an Italian from RI, I'm well aware of what it stands for.

Frequenters of bringatrailer.com see that survivor cars tend to fetch decent money.

I'm more worried about you spelling out "acronym" and "originally", though.

Why did he never drive them??? That's a pretty big amount of money to just shelve and do nothing with.

I'd think he'd be sitting on a decent little investment as well. I'm guessing there are plenty of Camaro guys out there who would pay a good amount for a brand spankin' new '79.

Seems like they could wash the car before they listed it on ebay.

Sez in the description that he didn't even want to disturb the dust (or something like that).

I'd think that giving it a quickie wash/wax might help his cause, though.

yeah, the build sheet is in one piece. Car looks clean inside no doubt.. but not worth $22,000.

That's why I bought a black Monte, I'm not Italian, but I had good enough hair to fit in with the Guidos.

I guess someone has to preserve an example or two for posterity, just seems a shame to have any performance car just sit there like a rock... i couldnt do it.. i drive the snot out of my cars for as long as i can, then i usually give away whats left.. but they die happy..

I'm no IROC expert but I thought the 85 IROC had the 215 hp tuned port engine.

The TPI was available only on the auto the first year, if you wanted a 1985 IROC manual you got an LG4.

The input shaft was modified and a different gearset used in 1986 and newer trans so they could handle the brutal 225 ft/lbs of torque from the TPI engine...
