Mr Buick Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi, I was wondering if anyone would know the value of a 1986 Chev Camaro IROC? It has 10,000 miles and is like new. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 December 2011 "Old Cars value guide" did not list 1986... it stopped at 1985.That year is listed from $740 (parts car) to $18,500 for a #1. A #2 is listed at $12.950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brh Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Something else you might want to keep in mind. Price guides are all well and good, but survivor cars seem to be "hot" right now. If this car is a true IROC, survivor with only 10 grand on the clock, it could very well exceed book value. Just my 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this car is a true IROC, survivor with only 10 grand on the clock, it could very well exceed book value. Just my 2.True, but even then, if one is selling a "survivor" one must be prepared to hold on to the car for 6 months or more until the right buyer comes along. People with 20 grand to throw on a car are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940_Dodge Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would probably say ~1200 depending on how pristine it is. If it's beautiful showroom condition then probably ~2000. Not popular cars at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1940_Dodge Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Don't you mean to add another zero onto those numbers? Not in the LA area, they just aren't sought after.I always think of this guy when someone brings up an I-ROChttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NidZFl-iius Edited January 30, 2012 by 1940_Dodge (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If its red or black that definitely helps.Not having any details and making some assumptions I'd say $11k-$14k if advertised nationally. Slightly lower if there are condition or maintenance issues. Slightly higher if its the right color, right options, and absolutley pristine.Check ebay completed listings.

60FlatTop Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I love the Youtube!!!!!I had an 1988 IROC, black, slightly modified, and very clean. I bought it for the looks and performance. It didn't take long to before bored with it and the seat hurt my back. I felt very lucky to sell it.It might be that GSJohn has found one he likes. If so, spend a few bucks on the 2000 Silverado and wait for a nice Buick.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Buick Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) A big Thank you, to those of you helping me out with this. Here is the story, my brother has an 86 IROC that is essentially new, with 9800 miles. He is the second owner and has fallen on hard times. He lost his job and can't land another one, has a mortage with 3 kids. He asked me if I wanted to buy it. Knowing that I have been pretty lucky in my life, I said I would. He told me to figure out what it's worth and we can come together on a price. Me being a Buick guy, I don't know it's value. What I am going to do, (he doesn't know this) is figure a value of about $15k, then I am going to add 15% to that and buy the car for $17,250. That will give him a little extra to go on. I told him though, as a condition of my purchase, he can buy it back when he gets back on his feet, less the 15% of course. Aside from his wife and kids, that car is his life and I am glad I can help him out and keep it in the family. Again, Thank you guys and have a good day.

60FlatTop Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You are a good guy, John. Always remember that the reward is being able to do that for him.There is a reason you have been lucky.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 As a BCA member who was around those cars when they were new, there are TWO IROC-Zs. First, there is the "normal" IROC-Z with rear drum brakes. These cars had normal Z-28 stuff under them and nothing special in the rear axle area, ratio-wise. More for profililng and getting beat by Mustang 5.0L coupes.The OTHER IROC-Z has rear disc brakes. This got the slightly heavier-duty rear axle and deeper rear axle ratios (what would be expected for a performance car). Somewhere in the mix, there were the IROC-Zs that, if ordered in a particular manner, got the UPGRADE stuff . . . like a fuel tank that would pickup fuel down to about 1 gallon left in road racing situations, an aluminum driveshaft, upgraded front brakes, and a few other things which later were incorporated into normal production Z-28s over the course of a few model years.And then there were the IROC-Zs (or possibly prior Z-28s) which came with a Recaro-like pair of front seats and unique upholstery. At the time, they were neat cars, but could be made much neater and much more rare with the right mix of options.Now, for the information you're wondering about . . .NADAGuides.com shows a "High Retail" of $7700.00 with "Average Retail" of $4427.00. A normal Z-28 shows "High Retail" of $6902.00.The very low mileage can bump things up a little past that, but not to the numbers you listed, with all due respect. Still, the low mileage can come back to haunt as rubber under the hood and such has been deteriorating somewhat over the years, just sitting. Same with the tires. So it can be a mixed bag.There was also a neat radio option back then, too. AM/FM Stereo/AM Stereo/Cassette Tape. Hope this might help. Seems like there's another online price guide that will figure the mileage factor into the price?NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brh Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 John, that is by far the definition of "family" and what it means. A real brother, good for you. Good things happen to good people thats why your lucky. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 GS John, you have a better handle on what is truly valuable than anyone on this forum can give you. Great plan on the car.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Buick Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Guys, Thanks for the kind words, but I am just a guy and I am sure you would do the same thing if needed. I always put others before myself, I guess that's just the way I am. Thank you again for the help and alwaysremember, it pays to "pay it forward" Thanks again.

NCReatta Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What a guy! That right there is family. I'm glad you're able to help your brother out. And get a pretty sweet car in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Wrench Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Wow, what an awesome twist to this thread. When I first read the thread I was really sad for John as to how little value was being placed on the car. Then I read the rest of the story and I was touched at John's generosity. You bump into great people in this hobby and this is just further proof of that.BTW, I looked at the NADA price guides and I did notice that 'family loan value' of the car was around $17,250.

The Continental Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Depending on options and color it could hit $20k, but as said it could take you some time to find the right buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
