@@barbershoppodcast I know bud, you fuckers make a lot of usefull random shits.. like those smell good dryer squares and just about every form of point to point connector 3000s aka tape. Canada is one awesome neighbor.
I would definitely paint it amd try today much interior stuff as makes sense, I think everybody would love to see this thing given a new lease on life!
I love the Cavalier, it’s a nostalgia thing. It’d be awesome if you would find a good Corsica and a Beretta, that would be epic, and Randy I hate to say it, but that little ‘92 Cavalier is more reliable than your Vette 🥴🤷🏻♂️😆😂
Nice to see it getting some love finally. Yeah, I honestly wouldn’t sell it for awhile if at all. If you like it that much I would do the paint, and some of the interior (dash headliner and such) and just use it as a car for yourself. It would be a great content car throughout the process since nobody sees these anywhere anymore besides a junkyard
For some reason, that car fascinates me!! Maybe due to me being a geezer, and remembering tons of these on the road. Cheap, dependable, transportation.
@90s Car guy I bought a 90 RS wagon with the 3.1 roughly 5 months ago in SC to go with my 89 Z24 convertible. Wagon is maroon with tan interior. I'm thinking about a Z24 nose, modifying the ground effects etc to fit the wagon. I have a set that I can sacrifice lol
@90s Car guy I'm in upstate NY. I have family in the south, as well as out west, so whenever I go visit, I make a point to get hard to find parts for my cavaliers, as well as my Beretta. I have 3 hoods, (one of em matches my wagon) 4 ground effects sets, 2 trunks etc. Those cars are essentially extinct up here so while some think I'm over doing it, well, at least I can rebuild my cars if I get in a wreck.
@90s Car guy I could write a novel about the parts I have stashed, but, it's nice to meet another person with similar taste. Never know, I may need something from you in the future. I hope Randy contacts you, you probably have a 91-94 tan dash, headliner etc. I'm sure you would help him.
Those were the good old days when them cavaliers lasted forever! It didn't miss a beat on that ride! I used to have a 1988 Chevy Corsica same color but it was a 2.8 5 speed. It was a rocket in the day! Loved it
Money maker when the car sells? No, but what a content car. Those of us who remember when these cars were the back bone of grocery getter's and Mom mobiles and the first new car for many people this is watch worthy to the first degree and for the younger folks who didn't live in those times it will be a time capsule repair of a low mileage car. Great video as always. Thank you.
I had the same car,a '92 VL 4 door.VL stood for value leader, the most basic model made.It had no mirror on the passenger door,had no A/C,just the basics.Drove it 6 years without a problem,had very comfortable seats!
The idle misfire could be an IAC(idle air control) valve or a TPS(throttle position sensor) in those older Cavaliers. I kinda remember my dad's 91 Cavalier doing that when he had it.
I sold a ton of Chevy Cavaliers in the late '80s...big value option with a/c, abs, air bags, auto transmission for the same price as a base, 5 speed, non a/c, non abs, non airbag equipped Civic. Was super easy to 'close' customers with just that one statement. The low interest financing was a no brainer for young families needing a 'new' and roomy 2nd car. Nice memories and happy customers because they knew what they were buying and the price/terms were great. Enjoyed the vid, btw!!
This car is so much cooler and way more unique than most of the "I bought the cheapest exotic yadayadayada" crap on many other TH-cam channels right now. Love it. Can't wait to see you fix this up. It deserves it. Spend some TH-cam money on it and make it super clean and nice again.
Great content Randy! I don't know why, but there's something very satisfying about watching old old but still charming little car getting it's first bath in years. :) Stay safe and well!
That car actually shines up pretty good , I think it will actually sell , congratulations on the great deal for sure, btw great job on the editing , AAR stepping up his game
Thankfully you arrived at HQ without any hiccups. I'm a very heavy set fella but if I could fit in that old Cavalier I'd be very happy to drive her. For my own peace of mind I believe I would've done a tune up and changed all the fluids before that little road trip as well as inspecting the brakes and most everything else. Show that ol' girl some love and I'm confident she'll be good to you in return. God bless y'all.
This video DID make me Happy! You'll never make a dollar on that Cavalier, but DAMN I love the content! Loving that car!!!! So glad to see it have a second chance. Great work Randy! Keep it up. I know you're busting your butt on all this and we, the true fans, appreciate the hell out of it! Cant wait for the next one!
I love these style cavaliers nothing else like em at all and they are very reliable, I have an 87 cavalier, 87 Celebrity, 95 Corsica. Love these old chevys
I know people talk a lot of trash about 90s GM cars, but they’re my absolute favorite era of cars, mainly because they were brand new when I was old enough to drive
I would spray black truck bed liner on the trim and bumpers. A friend of mine did that with a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The paint on the body was almost the same shade of gold as your Cavalier. When he was done, it looked factory. It looked very good!
I wrote about this 92 before but didn’t know about the at idle miss. We owned a 94(same exact everything), we encountered the same issue. IF IT TURNS OUT ITS NOT OLD GAS, pull the EGR valve(super easy) and see if carbon has it cracked open. Just trying to help based on personal experience on one. Great cars, nothing fancy but it does what it was built to do and does it very well. Have a good one.
love you choice of music for the time lapses. the cavalier is a awesome little car. one of my friends had a green Corsica and it was one hell off a car. very reliable, always started and got him where he need to go. it was semi low mileage too, like 100k to 140k it did burn a quart of oil per gas tank fill. but oil is cheap and he always added oil to it. loved the car very nice and reliable. but sadly it got totaled in a hit and run. but then he got a 1999 Lincoln town car from his friend and he is driving that car now. miss that Corsica, i always liked that color of green.
Beautiful countryside where you live Randy. Wishes they still built cars like the Cavalier. We have freezing temps and a couple inches of snow in Northern Indiana. Take care and stay safe
That's awesome the car made the trip. You are right this weather is crazy. Stay happy healthy and also thank you so much for continuing to produce great content. Much appreciated.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Cobalt build. About 10 years ago I flew in to Tulsa on business, and rented a black Cobalt. I don’t know what motor it had, but it ran “like a scalded dog”! I have heard that they have problems, but it was a blast to drive, and is a very pretty little car.
Hi Randy. I enjoy all your videos. Currently unemployed due to covid 19. Your videos give me a temporary break from reality. Can't even watch television because they are always breaking in with news and then bring you a governor's news conference. We are all healthy so far but hopefully we can get back to work soon because money is getting very tight. Anyway thanks for your videos. Stay safe.
wow this car brings me back man used to have a red one just like it but it had trim pieces behind the rear doors and the power windows and locks funny thing is for an econobox it was a very comfortable car and one of the very few chevys i actually liked sadly they are known to leak in the trunk thankfully yours is in awesome shape definitely worth saving this old but trusty car
LOL wow. I bought one of those as a repo when it was 5 years old and this car is as nice as that car was 23 years ago. I drove that Cavalier everywhere. The only problem it had was a head gasket starting to go. It was running fine when I traded it in on a Mustang.
80s and 90s had some great body styles. It reminds me of the Mitsi Gallant shape. You should do it up over time. No rush. It can be one of your reliable runners when you need a chase car for Copart pickups. BTW, it's Autumn here in NZ so getting colder and wetter just like OK right now. We had a massive long hot summer so I'm not complaining
The cleaning content is so satisfying to watch. Definitely an important part of the rebuild/resell process. Now, send that car for a $350 MAACO paint job!
I can't wait to see more of this Cavalier!! It's a real survivor! You just don't see this generation anywhere around here in Michigan. Hopefully it can get a new headliner and a new dashpad a the very least.
Yes it will make it to AARHQ!! Excellent content as always!! You have no idea how much I love this cavalier!!! Randy I think you need to keep this one! 😎🤣
Cavalier looking clean after the wash. I would say keep it and have it as a project car. you can use it for video content after you are done with your other cars
Hey, Randy engine bay looks good, I think you should consider buying a pressure washer with steam will do a better job and make it easier for you. Good luck stay safe.
though your where a massive influence on why i started my channel and i was going to try doing the same kind of content i definitely thing i latched on to my real passion finding and bringing back barn finds. but that dosn't change the fact i really enjoy your content keep up the great work man
I had a 1992 Cavalier coupe in Medium Quasar Blue metallic. It was the only car I ever had that I knew how to work on. When you got behind the wheel I got verklempt.
These cars are made to be driven Randy. Cars arent made to just sit as you know as everything seizes up. That road trip only does the car a world of good!! Keep safe.
Randy! Make a video on how to fix those small rust spots. If the Cavalier won't bring money, it at least has the potential to bring more content. I think with $25 worth of sand paper (or a wire brush attachment for a rotary tool), filler and rattle can paint you can fix it.
Thoughts on the Cavalier. Tires, Headliner shop, maybe $125? Pull the dash, and slather adhesive, and use a board and C-clamps so it will bond. Dye spray (or a dash cover) Leave the paint. Weird Beard may be able to buff it so it looks nice. Honestly, it is maybe $1,200-$1,300 car for a person who just wants point a to b,c,d.
i love cavillers my 2,2 went 230 thousand miles drove from Connecticut to the Florida keys sold for 500 dollars probably still running never used a drop of oil ( AC Work DR wind sill worked ) she will make it to WB
I refurbish Adcom GFA-565 amps, and use Simple Green to ultrasonically clean circuit boards. This thing does wonder and washes the acidic deposit of the failed capacitors. Simple Green has many uses. 🤗🤗🤗 I also had a 1991 Cavalier RS 3.1 V6. It's been my best car ever. Had it 17 years. Only brakes and mufflers + normal maintenance. Here in Quebec, rust kills our cars. My dashboard was still pristine, no cracks whatsoever. Headliner was still pristine, seats perfect condition. But the body seams were rusted through on the firewall... water was entering the car, and that was the end of it. Engine was still running perfectly. 😥 Wish I could buy a rust free RS/Z24 3.1 Cavalier. I would jump on it like a wolf on a pork chop. Mine went to the graveyard at 80000 miles (123000Km)
My first car I bought was a 93' Pontiac Sunbird with the same engine inline 4 cylinder 8 valve, yes lol it was slow as a snail but was reliable. These are very rare too find now days up in Wisconsin.
They stopped making that shape Cavalier in 1988 in the U.K, she looks strong & healthy though, worth saving would make great content. Stay safe you & yours.
Never thought i'd be excited to watch youtube content on a 30 year old cavalier but i guess since it's something you just don't see anymore i'd love to see it look like new again
We are supposed to have a bit of snow tomorrow here in Maine. Most of it is going to be in Connecticut, Mass and Rhode Island but we are on the outer fringe of the storm. We've been in the 40's all week.
Hey randy great video and the car looks great im happy it made it the whole way but keep up the great work and awesome content i watch all your videos i been a sub for a long time on the channel
Not surprised at all. The "Iron Duke" 2.2 is a rock solid motor just has no power. Used to drive across NE Ohio 180 miles round trip in the summer with no issues and 40 mpg as long as AC was off. Only had one issue with blown head gasket which was fixed with a replacement head in under 2 hours. These engines have been a stable of GM cars since the 70s (maybe earlier) good for mpg but 0-60 is measured in hours not minutes. That being said, this is a 1992 so its probably TBI.. After putting some fresh gas in would check to see if the injector is spraying a nice pattern into the basket. 86 and up had electronic ignition so there should not be a distributor (there is a plug with an idler gear in the spot where the distributor would have bolted in on older models--this can leak oil!). Instead it has coil packs that sit on an ignition module bolted to the block. Colis are known to crack and cause misfires at low idle as well as the spark plug wire routing can lead to cracks and voltage loss. Probably would be worth doing a set of plugs and wires since they can be had cheaply. Also, these are pushrod motors so possible you may need a valve adjustment. From personal experience, its easy and you can probably have it done in 30 minutes including pulling the valve cover. Its amazing that this one has ABS on it. Any other options like AC, power windows/locks? This looks like a step above the base CL model but still a plain jane Cavalier. Glad you are trying to save it but dont try too hard. Many of these things are long dead and in junkyards for a reason. Only reason it hasnt rusted apart is due to being down south in Oklahoma. Up here that car would be an orange spot.
I prefer to drive these plain older cars to more exotic ones as long as they are reliable and readonably easy to keep on the road.I really don"t like the fact that most are fwd but that"s what cars after 85 are.I enjoy projects like this . Thx.
I love the older vehicles. An idea though; I'm fairly new to the channel & I'd love to see a video on your camaro & maybe more on the tesla. I know the corvette can't be spoken of so...

3.1 tempest or corsica....memories come flooding
Yeah beretta gtz and corsica and maybe even a lumina z34.
You are correct David..Yes sir

Jason AGREED 100%
I love that the caviller is parked next to its younger sibling
I love the Cav next to the Cobalt SS!!!
That’s not a cobalt. Looks like a bmw
@Tyson Kobe nice scam u got goin there
For some reason, that car fascinates me!! Maybe due to me being a geezer, and remembering tons of these on the road. Cheap, dependable, transportation.
So excited for this car. Love these late 80's/early 90's gems.
they are tough cars,,all my kids have a cav

Randy, I'll always have a soft spot for cavs too. Still have mine that I got new when I started college in '01.
If any car deserves the Maaco treatment.....
John Jansen I totally agree! This car definitely deserves a maaco paint job like paint it the color it is now but just a fresh coat of paint!
Yep $500 special . Black
Those were the good old days when them cavaliers lasted forever! It didn't miss a beat on that ride!
I used to have a 1988 Chevy Corsica same color but it was a 2.8 5 speed.
It was a rocket in the day! Loved it

Saw you pull in on the back yard, looked very wet, a miracle you make it without getting stuck.
First new car I bought was a 92 cavalier..bare bones had a heater,ac and no radio also no floor mats! Loved that little car it drove forever.
Hi Randy. Nice little cavalier. Deserves to be fixed up. A car that's affordable to own and operate. Nice video.

Brings me back when my buddy and i would hang out after school in his Cavalier (85) listening to VanHalen's 5150. Great memories.
I like the music. A heavenly choir lifting the cavalier to its destination.
whats the name of the song
I wanna know to
Randy you ALWAYS make us happy! That’s why we watch you buddy! 😁❤️
I love these style cavaliers nothing else like em at all and they are very reliable, I have an 87 cavalier, 87 Celebrity, 95 Corsica. Love these old chevys
I know people talk a lot of trash about 90s GM cars, but they’re my absolute favorite era of cars, mainly because they were brand new when I was old enough to drive
Slap some Back to Black on the bumpers and plastic trim. Worked great on my 04 CR-V with faded plastics.
New fan of your channel, my first car was a 1987 Chevy Cavalier, coupe, brown in color. I had for 5 years. Thanks for the memories
I would spray black truck bed liner on the trim and bumpers. A friend of mine did that with a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The paint on the body was almost the same shade of gold as your Cavalier. When he was done, it looked factory. It looked very good!
Love seeing the older car's come back to life. Even if there not worth much
Enjoyed the vid as always Randy! Looking forward to seeing the Cavalier again. It's a great old classic!
The heat gun on black plastic definitely works I just did my DD Honda CR-V and it worked great they almost look new

Absolutely LOVE that little thing, what a steal! 90's cars will run basically forever with proper maintenance
LOL wow. I bought one of those as a repo when it was 5 years old and this car is as nice as that car was 23 years ago. I drove that Cavalier everywhere. The only problem it had was a head gasket starting to go. It was running fine when I traded it in on a Mustang.
Worked for Delco engineering back in the 80's that brake booster master cylinder abs unit was made Bullitt proof like your copart tours
Randy are you on a spiritual enlightenment voyage with that music driving the Cavalier.
what song is that
I'm ready to see the video for the SS. That car brings back a lot of fun memories for me
She is one happy clean throwback 92" Cavalier I remember seeing these all over back then ah memories I'd say keep her Randy!
I love the Cavalier, Randy. You need to hold on to that.... If nothing else, for the memories. She's a beaut!
80s and 90s had some great body styles. It reminds me of the Mitsi Gallant shape. You should do it up over time. No rush. It can be one of your reliable runners when you need a chase car for Copart pickups. BTW, it's Autumn here in NZ so getting colder and wetter just like OK right now.

Getting cabin fever here in Australia. Your videos help - thanks a lot.
I liked that you showed how to use simple green and a pressure washer to clean the engine bay.
The cleaning content is so satisfying to watch. Definitely an important part of the rebuild/resell process. Now, send that car for a $350 MAACO paint job!
Uberman refills has some of my favorite videos , love this old cavalier
I had 3 of tbise cavaliers and i loved all 3 .
I can't wait to see more of this Cavalier!! It's a real survivor! You just don't see this generation anywhere around here in Michigan. Hopefully it can get a new headliner and a new dashpad a the very least.
Yes it will make it to AARHQ!! Excellent content as always!! You have no idea how much I love this cavalier!!! Randy I think you need to keep this one! 😎🤣
good shit randy! Im excited to watch you pick away at the Cavi!
Great little car I've a few of them back in day and I still wish I had my 87 Z24 hatch back .
Man, knew that thing was nasty, but when you did the before and after on the trunk, WOW.
Glad you're giving it some love.
I'd fix the interior before paint
After spraying with Simple Green, use a brush or paint brush to loosen stuff up and you should get a foamer like what Weird Beard uses.
Last weekend (South of Minneapolis) we went from 60 degrees Saturday afternoon, to having 8 inches of snow come down on Sunday! :-)
Great job! Looks much better! Put some freon in it to see if the A/C will cool and just do the best you can to sell it.
Cavalier looking clean after the wash. I would say keep it and have it as a project car. you can use it for video content after you are done with your other cars
Hey, Randy engine bay looks good, I think you should consider buying a pressure washer with steam will do a better job and make it easier for you. Good luck stay safe.

Thumbs up for Randy and his questionable choices. Keep up the content brother
Thoughts on the Cavalier. Tires, Headliner shop, maybe $125? Pull the dash, and slather adhesive, and use a board and C-clamps so it will bond. Dye spray (or a dash cover) Leave the paint. Weird Beard may be able to buff it so it looks nice. Honestly, it is maybe $1,200-$1,300 car for a person who just wants point a to b,c,d.
i love cavillers my 2,2 went 230 thousand miles drove from Connecticut to the Florida keys sold for 500 dollars
probably still running never used a drop of oil ( AC Work DR wind sill worked ) she will make it to WB

They stopped making that shape Cavalier in 1988 in the U.K, she looks strong & healthy though, worth saving would make great content.
Stay safe you & yours.
Never thought i'd be excited to watch youtube content on a 30 year old cavalier but i guess since it's something you just don't see anymore i'd love to see it look like new again
We are supposed to have a bit of snow tomorrow here in Maine. Most of it is going to be in Connecticut, Mass and Rhode Island but we are on the outer fringe of the storm. We've been in the 40's all week.
I love that cavalier that car never died yet #longlivecavalier
It would be cool to see you put a new interior in it, I think it would be good for your channel!
Hey randy great video and the car looks great im happy it made it the whole way but keep up the great work and awesome content i watch all your videos i been a sub for a long time on the channel
Warm I just had 4 inches of snow here. Good job guy. 👍
Good job cleaning the engine and the car. Paint look pretty good 👍👍. You can get cheap seats and interior from the junkyard 👏👏.
Have to say these videos on the Chevy cavalier have made me happy!!!
Totally enjoy all the content randy we love the channel since the very start.Hope you and your family are safe in these hard times 👍
New favorite TH-cam channel!!! Thank you for the videos! I’m binge watching all of them
Not surprised at all. The "Iron Duke" 2.2 is a rock solid motor just has no power. Used to drive across NE Ohio 180 miles round trip in the summer with no issues and 40 mpg as long as AC was off. Only had one issue with blown head gasket which was fixed with a replacement head in under 2 hours.
These engines have been a stable of GM cars since the 70s (maybe earlier) good for mpg but 0-60 is measured in hours not minutes. That being said, this is a 1992 so its probably TBI.. After putting some fresh gas in would check to see if the injector is spraying a nice pattern into the basket.
86 and up had electronic ignition so there should not be a distributor (there is a plug with an idler gear in the spot where the distributor would have bolted in on older models--this can leak oil!). Instead it has coil packs that sit on an ignition module bolted to the block. Colis are known to crack and cause misfires at low idle as well as the spark plug wire routing can lead to cracks and voltage loss. Probably would be worth doing a set of plugs and wires since they can be had cheaply.
Also, these are pushrod motors so possible you may need a valve adjustment. From personal experience, its easy and you can probably have it done in 30 minutes including pulling the valve cover.
Its amazing that this one has ABS on it. Any other options like AC, power windows/locks? This looks like a step above the base CL model but still a plain jane Cavalier. Glad you are trying to save it but dont try too hard. Many of these things are long dead and in junkyards for a reason. Only reason it hasnt rusted apart is due to being down south in Oklahoma. Up here that car would be an orange spot.
I love the car my grandpa had a 93 it was Blue you don't see these anymore probably my favorite bodystyle cavalier
It will be a great little car for somebody! Great content Randy as always!
I can't stop watching your videos.
Thank you!
I prefer to drive these plain older cars to more exotic ones as long as they are reliable and readonably easy to keep on the road.I really don"t like the fact that most are fwd but that"s what cars after 85 are.I enjoy projects like this . Thx.
Please! Do the interior and the paint job! I like content just like this! :D
I love the older vehicles. An idea though; I'm fairly new to the channel & I'd love to see a video on your camaro & maybe more on the tesla. I know the corvette can't be spoken of so...
I have a perverse want for this car as well Randy. It's a good honest car.
I like seeing you bringing old cars back to life.. Great content 👍🏻
