1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible [with well-placed upgrades] for sale

The midnight style of this 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible makes it quite desirable

And that’s before you check out the A/C interior, five-speed stick, fuel-injected V8, and the well-placed upgrades.

The black paint gives this Camaro a cool/mean attitude. The factory-correct color was resprayed later in life, and it retains a nice shine today. So it makes for a good look on a sunshine-friendly convertible. The attitude on this one is taken up a notch with the quad exhaust tips and a lightweight fiberglass hood that has a scoop reminiscent of this car’s predecessors. If you’re looking for a perfect car, then you will probably see the value price as a good way to leave room in your budget for improvements. So you may have a professional detail done or get a fresh convertible top. But a stick shift Camaro is also about being a proper driver. That’s why the 17-inch Edelbrock wheels add a touch of all-American chrome that also let you fit some grippy modern performance tires.

A convertible is all about being open to the world, and so the gray pinstripe on the outside coordinates with the full gray interior for a very well-done style inside and out. And you’ll love showing off the interior because it has a quality look and a vintage style – right down to the correct Camaro stitching in the seatbacks. This is loaded with the best features, like power windows, power locks, alarm, the factory Delco AM/FM/cassette radio, and a tilt steering column that gives you a full view of the full gauges with large speedo and handy tach. Plus, the factory air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant so that you can stay cool even with the top down.

The engine bay has a solid stock appearance. Good maintenance of the essentials is combined with carefully preserved components (even the factory decals are still bright!) But we know you want this for more than just its preservation. The 305 cubic-inch fuel-injected V8 is a great power package for dependable delivery and tons of torque. Best of all, you have complete control over it thanks to the five-speed manual transmission – a true rarity in these 3rd gen Camaros. This one shifts cleanly and the upgraded exhaust with Magnaflow muffler has a great sound, so you’ll love taking it out on the road. There are even upgraded springs, a Hotchkis adjustable Panhard rod, power steering, power front disc brakes, and a Positraction rear end.
