"If you're looking for a sporty, fun to drive small car with a
proven track record and the standard safety of BS, look at Cavalier
for 1993. The style of Cavalier reflects the design in excellence
of this easy to buy, easy to own Chevrolet. Choose from a wide
selection of Cavalier models, including coupes, sedans, wagons,
convertibles and the sport styled, V6 powered Z24." From the 1993
Chevrolet brochure.
For consignment, a 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 coupe with a title
verified 69,171 kilometers, or 42,980 miles. The Z24 dressed the
pedestrian Cavalier with cladding, wings, and graphics and created
a sporty version of an otherwise fleet vehicle.
Exterior
Sportiness is amplified by two stage Victory Red paint and thanks
to the late 80's Ford Taurus, front grilles became more streamlined
and clean, with the main intake being embedded in the front apron
of this sportster. Twin power bulges on the hood might not be
mechanically functional, but they go a long way to bolstering the
aggressiveness of the car and when coupled with a rear wing, might
even ride the line of intimidating at a red light. The body
cladding gives a lowering effect, like a GTP race car while 15-inch
wheels are understated but directional, the sign sporty intent.
Chevrolet's call outs during this period are red plastic and
they're all here in nice shape and the Z24 emblem is tri-colored,
also period indicative. Imperfections include dings, curb rash,
scratches, including some deep on the composite ends, chips,
scuffs, and chin scrapes.
Interior
The clean design of the inner doors include black plastic and cloth
inserts, along with the door-mounted 3 point seat belt. Somewhere
between the automatic seatbelts and airbags, Chevrolet provided
this alternative for a short period of time. Inside, charcoal cloth
bucket seats are in time capsule good shape and the rear mirrors
the color and condition and includes a middle lap belt and a fold
down feature to expand trunk capacity. An ergonomic steering wheel
would become commonplace, but in the early 90's, this was sporty
indeed! It fronts an otherwise basic instrument cluster in great
shape, and the center stack houses an AM/FM/Cassette radio
featuring state of the art "auto reverse" and the A/C panel,
simple, gray, and plastic. In the center console, a T-shifter moves
through a short track cut into the flat plastic panel where a fixed
crack is noted. The black carpet looks great and so does the fleece
headliner around the sunroof, while the trunk is clean and finished
in gray cloth panels.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a transverse mounted 3.1 liter V6 with 140
horsepower and fuel injection. It presents in clean, driver quality
condition and is tied to a TH125C 3-speed automatic transmission
that keeps power up front with 3.33 gearing.
Undercarriage
Other than age induced metal color change, the underside also
serves as a time capsule with rust free and dry conditions. A
single exhaust runs through its original muffler and which emits
twin tips, the only location of some surface rust. Power brakes are
on board as front disc and rear drum and suspension includes
Macpherson struts up front and coil springs on the independent
rear.
Drive-Ability
The V6 comes to life without hesitation, and the car delivers what
all 273,617 Cavalier buyers expected in 1993; a smooth ride, a
comfortable interior, and a reliable ride made just a bit quicker
with the Z24 designation. We're on tires from the same year as the
car, so we're not testing the car's limits, but at pedestrian
speeds, it does just fine. With the exception of the trip odometer,
all functions in this commuter car work as intended. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
More than half of Cavalier production were coupes and they were
marketed to a youthful market with the Z24 appealing to those with
a penchant for a sporty appearance, something every American
manufacturer offered in one form or another. Chevrolet did it well
with the Z24 and online testimonials are filled with nothing but
good memories of former owners. Now, you can relive those days with
this well preserved, low mileage example.
