I miss my Iroc-z (I didn't have a mullet)
 
Driving with my sunroof open on the Talon is nice but hot summer days really make me miss having the T's off on my Iroc.

The car really handled great and it was fun on the open lap road racing I did with AARF back in the day.

Too bad I sold this. It was a great cruiser. I'm still glad I went from an F-body to a DSM though.

Here's a couple pics.

305 TPI! It had good mid power which is what the "tuned" part of TPI was set for. The floor boards were rotted though so a motor swap wasn't worth fixing with all the hidden rust.

Here's a couple more I dug up. They were pretty rare I guess. Always got some weird looks.

Clean looking car. I'm still baffled why its right hand drive??

There were a ton of this generation F-bodies at Car Craft last weekend. Very popular.

13 car pile up :eek: ? Rainy freeway or something? Good thing you weren't in a lighter car!

Bang for the buck was hard to beat with the 3rd gens.

it was a iced over brige on 169. I saw it and stop before the pile up and the guy behind me did not even slow down. he hit me at 60 when I was stoped and slamed me into the pack of cars then got nailed in the pass door after that and was shoved into the bearier.

How the fuck do you get a RHD Camaro? You photoshop that or what? The Iroc Z isn't mirrored, so what the FECK!?

I call 22 minutes of photoshop.

I never knew too much about the owner before me. My brother in law bought if from a dealer in Rochester and I took over payments on it. You could tell the side skirts and bumpers had been swapped and the black was painted poorly if you looked close at it.

My brother still has his i roc but damn a RHD thats got to be worth a pretty penny

I sold it for $2800 and bought it for $3500 around 5 years ago.

Scrmegl, answer the question! Was it actually right-hand drive? or are the pics just inverted....

*edit* I see the lettering on the IROC is the right way....how the F did you get that here?

Chevy probably would not produce a RHD car. all the countrys I have been to and you see a ford they are all LHD. Maybe they did tho, IDK

Its has to be a photoshop, the emblem is supposed to be red white blue and its backwards, O and the signs on the trash are all crooked

There were quite a few RHD Fords over in Japan when I lived there. They were goofy little toy looking Scion things, not Mustangs or anything, but Ford's.

To pull off a good photoshop all details must be covered. Good try though.

I noticed that the blurry word NOTICE on the dumpster is written correctly, and not backwards.

haha you fawkers editing my pics. Nice.

Here is the large file for your examination. Sorry for the size. Notice the ignition is on the right side of the steering column. A flip would have shown it on the left side.

No I did not own a RHD F body. It would have been awesome though lol.

I didn't intend to post it RHD but I was challenged to do it and I had insomnia so I just started playing with it. I had never edited like that before. Took some shit to get the windshield logo to look proper and the lettering was a pain.

twack 08-01-2008 04:36 PM

Re: I miss my Iroc-z (I didn't have a mullet)
 
if you fixed the point of view on the WM sign and reversed the emblem you might of had us
