BODY OVERVIEW: The 1988 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 convertible was one of the most stylish small cars of the late ‘80s, and this example remains a head-turner. With its sporty stance and unmistakable Z24 badging, this Cavalier still carries its original attitude. Body imperfections are at an extreme minimum, and the original wheels are in great shape. The body is straight and solid, making this an excellent example of a well-kept ‘80s classic!

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The car has been repainted in its original red and silver two-tone, and it presents beautifully. The color is vibrant, the shine is strong, and it complements the Z24’s aggressive styling perfectly. There are some very minor scratches here and there, as can be expected with an older paint job. While not a brand-new paint job, it still looks fantastic and adds to the car’s already eye-catching appeal.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The gray cloth interior is in excellent original condition, a rarity for a car of this era. The seats are comfortable, the dash is clean, and everything inside appears to have been well cared for. Everything from the radio to the window switches is pure 1980s nostalgia. Whether you’re cruising with the top down or enjoying a night drive, the cabin feels just as cool as it did in 1988!

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The 2.8L fuel-injected V6 is a lively little engine that provides plenty of power for a car of this size. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, making for an easy and enjoyable driving experience. The one notable change from factory on this car is that the catalytic converter has been removed, and as a result this Z24 has a bit more growl than stock—giving it a surprisingly aggressive exhaust note. Pretty hard to argue with results like this! Power steering makes maneuvering a breeze, and the air conditioning ensures you stay comfortable even when the sun is shining. Last but not least, power windows and a tilt steering column add a touch of luxury to an otherwise performance-oriented automobile.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: It’s a fun, affordable, and unique ‘80s classic that stands out at any car show! The combination of the red paint, white top, and sporty styling makes it a conversation piece wherever it goes, and an affordable way to show up in something unique.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you need a high-horsepower muscle car, this probably isn’t your ride, but seriously–this thing is peppy!

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? This car is turn-key and ready to enjoy! Buyers should note that although the tachometer illuminates correctly, the needle is stuck.

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This is the perfect car for someone looking to own a piece of 1980s nostalgia without breaking the bank. Whether you want a fun weekend cruiser, a unique show car, or just a cool convertible to enjoy, this Z24 delivers!
