Yep. I check the VIN on carfax and its an original TBI. Also, I still have the RPO sticker which has the same VIN as the vehicle and a Z28 RPO code. This car has a lot of abnormalities that at one time made me think that it was a fake IROC, such as the lower body stripe colors are in the wrong order, the IROC stickers are on the wrong position on the door for the year, and the speedometer is only an 85 mph. However unless someone was really smooth and switched both the VIN plate and the RPO sticker off of a different IROC which they happened to have the title to and was the same color, its an authentic.

If it were just 1 or 2 stickers, then I would buy that it is a fake, but its got the IROC stickers on both sides, the IROC ground effect badges on the sides and rear, and the Z-28/IROC-Z console badge, plus the correct RPO code. Thats a lot of work to make a car look like an IROC.

I guess the only real way to test if its an IROC is to measure the springs. IROC springs are 1/2 inch lower than normal Z-28 springs. I have no doubt that the factory labeled this car as an IROC but without the suspension upgrade, its just stickers.
