Engine toast at 25,000, rebuilt it myself.
Transmission is slightly weak now with only 37,000 on it.
Total rattletrap. Avoid GM convertibles made in the 80's. They "farmed" them out, and didn't do the work themselves.
You get a nice breeze with the top up or down. Bring a Parka if below 20 degrees.
Decent economy, around 25 mpg.
Very good performance for a V6.
Z24 aerodynamics make for a sporty looking car.
Rides fairly well, with decent suspension.
Steven, I have to disagree with your statement of the 88 Z24 Convertable being a rattletrap. I have one that I love. My first Convertible. I was hesitant to buying one for the exterior sound difference between a Convertible and a hard top, and also that breeze that I was warned about with Convertibles. I live in Michigan, I bought mine in Feb. Sure you have a little whistling as it is hard to get a tight seal around the door windows. But It doesn't rattle and I do not lose heat or get cold when its arctic outside. I would recommend a 88 Z24 Convertible to anyone. I have the Met. Blue with silver Ground effects. They look tough and stylish and sound great with the right exhaust. Ride is quite nice also. Corners almost like my BMW 325i used to.
Just got a z-24 10/23/04 love it it's a convetiable. drive, s nice. It is also blue. looking for a boot.
