Rare factory built race car- 1 of 34 of the track ready cars built in 1990 and 1 of 62 total production that year. . Most of the 34 were converted to full race cars, aced hard and turned into junk. This one was never converted or raced and has been in collector hands since new. Documented less than 1400 original miles. Car is exactly as delivered with dealer stickers still on the windshield. All delivery documentation. In the mid 80', he C4 Corvette dominated SCCA /sports car racing and as a result was banned from the Escort racing series in 1988-89. One of the most successful Corvette racers Tommy Morrison, as asked by GM engineering to help them develop the IROC Camaro into a winning race car. He took delivery of 6 specially prepared 1988 Camaros from the factory in VanNy, C, rucked them back to his race shop in Albany, a. and proceeded to work his magic. Wearing Morrison"s #97 and #98 with Mobil 1 sponsorship, is Camaros won 15 of 16 races in 1988 and 1989 against the best that Ford and Chrysler and Porsche had to offer. Only 4 official 1 LE/G92 Camaros were produced in 1988 but the special option package that was developed with Morrison became the must have car for many teams. In 1989 the word was out on the package and 111 were produced. However, he 1LE option came in two flavors: one was intended for the track and was equipped with a hotter LB9 305 cu in small block engin, speed transmission and no A/C or other non essential power options. Another 1LE version came with the 350 cu in -L98 motor and automatic transmission; these were intended to be strictly street cars and were produced to justify the expense of developing the 1LE race package. The race 1LE's were equipped with: 5.0 TPI race tuned LB9 engine, speed transmission with special gearing, arger (11.8) front disc brakes from the Corvette, ear disc brakes, affled fuel tank to prevent fuel starvation under hard cornering, pecific front and rear shocks, pecial suspension bushings, ual catalytic converter low restriction exhaust, 92 limited slip diff (3.42 gearing), og lamp delete to improve cooling, adio delete, ower accessory delete,and Aluminum driveshaft. In 1989 the 1LE swept the SCCA and IMSA showroom stock series. It won every race in the SCCA Escort World Challenge championship and won car of the year for the series. Only 34 of these rare factory built race cars were produced- very, ery few remain in as delivered condition. This rare example has less than 1400 original miles and is a delivered condition except for a new batter, resh fluids and a new fuel pump. Gas tank was drained and fuel pump/sender were replaced last year so there will not be an issue with stale gas. Comes with the window sticker, uild sheet, ons of articles, ealer invoice, tc. CarFax documents three owners and original mileage. This is a rare investment quality IROC Camaro. 1990 was the last year of the IROC and this car was one of the last IROCs produced. The 80's and early 90's cars are rapidly appreciating. There were many thousands of Gen I Z28's produced and thousands of "made" cars. Why not own a rare original. check out L88 or '63 Z06 prices to see where these are heading. Only selling to make room for an L88.
