Rad Red Vert: 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier RS Z24 Convertible
This next car is a classic Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 convertible, from the era when GM decided an economy-car platform needed hood vents, ground effects, a V6, and a power top. Under the hood should be the 2.8-liter MPFI V6, good for roughly 130 hp and 160 lb-ft when new. Not fast by modern standards, but plenty rowdy for a lightweight J-body drop-top. The Z24 package brought the good stuff: sport body cladding, front air dam, hood bulges/vents, alloy wheels, upgraded interior trim, and just enough sporty stuff to make it interesting 35 years later. Find this 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 Convertible offered for $3000 in Pittsfield, NH via facecavalier marketvert.

I used to sell cars at a Chevy dealer when i was in school back in the day and we could hardly keep these on the lot. Customers that couldn’t afford a Z28, still got a Z badge car and were happy… until they put their foot down.
