f you were able to suddenly don a mullet and hop in Doc Brown's time
machine to travel back to the year 1985, you'd find that the pinnacle
of affordable performance was available at your local Chevy dealership
in the form of the Camaro IROC-Z. This was the first year that the Z
was offered, and though this particular example seems to be equipped
with the 4-barrel 305 and a five-speed stick, the IROC was the first
Camaro to get the Tuned Port Injection engine, which displaced 305
cubic inches and offered up an impressive-for-the-day 215 horsepower,
hooked up to a four-speed automatic transmission. Other uplevel bits
included 16" 5-spoke alloy rims and meaty 245/50ZR16 tires
cribbed from the Corvette.

Here we are in 2009, and most of these cars were snatched up by young,
hot-headed male drivers once they hit the used market, meaning that
nearly all of the Z's still on the road are in less-than-stellar
condition. Fortunately, eBay has come to the rescue once again with
an auction for a factory-fresh '85 IROC with just 4.3 miles on the
odometer. Most of the parts are there, minus the stock set of wheels
and tires, but the car has been sitting for the last 23 years inside
a warehouse of some sort. Perhaps it's a gem underneath all that dust
and muck, but expect to perform lots of hard work if you actually want
to make it drivable again.

The current bid is well over $15K and the reserve has not yet been
reached. We're not sure what an untouched '85 IROC is really worth,
but apparently it's a bit more that we'd have guessed. Check out our
gallery below
