A 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z, heavily modified for both visual appeal and performance, recently sold at auction for $15,000. While some might argue that such a heavily modified classic car is less desirable, others will undoubtedly appreciate the significant performance upgrades and attention to detail.

This particular Camaro Z28 has been equipped with a powerful 5.7-liter LS1 V8 engine, a substantial improvement over the original powertrain. The exterior is finished in a classic white with iconic IROC-Z graphics, complemented by removable T-top panels, body-color ground effects, and aggressive 17-inch wheels borrowed from a fourth-generation Camaro SS.

The lowered stance is the result of a revised suspension system featuring custom springs, Koni dampers, and other performance-enhancing components. The interior of this IROC-Z is a sight to behold.

Red Sparco bucket seats with five point harnesses, a roll cage, and custom instrumentation create a truly sporty and performance oriented atmosphere. Modern amenities like power windows and an Alpine head unit with Infinity speakers add a touch of comfort.

Performance wise, this IROC-Z delivers. While it may not have a massive amount of power, its lightweight design and well-tuned engine ensure a thrilling driving experience.

The 5.7-liter LS1 V8, equipped with performance upgrades, produces a respectable 327 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. This power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual gearbox, resulting in a driving experience that’s comparable to a modern hot hatchback.
