    Chevrolet Cavalier — second generation, J-body (1988–1994)

    NICB's 1988–1992 VIN manuals list this Cavalier as the Cavalier, RS (with the convertible) and Z24 (with the convertible) (their multi-year car-line tables also print a CS, which no 1988–1994 kit shows), and the 1994 manual as the Cavalier (with the convertible and wagon) and Z24 (with the convertible); the Heritage kits show coupe, sedan, wagon and convertible bodies in base, VL, RS and Z24 form. Every row comes from the GM Heritage kit for its year: the MVMA specification forms for 1988–1994 (engine, transmission, convenience-equipment and optional-equipment weight pages) and the dealer order guides bound into the 1989, 1991, 1992 and 1994 kits; there is no 1993 kit, so no code is claimed for 1993. The kits give the 2.0L LL8 L4 and 2.8L LB6 V6 (1988–1989), the 2.2L LM3 (1990–1991) and LN2 (1992–1994) L4s and the 3.1L LH0 V6 (1990–1994). Paint and trim codes are not listed, because the order guides show them only as two-digit color numbers and four-character trim combinations, and a year is claimed only where a page prints the code legibly.
