I have a non-running Z31 for sale. It needs bodywork. It turns over but I can’t start it. It’s a GLL model with leather seats and cruise control.

That will sell for $3,000, easy.
86,000 miles is enough to need a timing belt, which might be why it won't start. Does it make little hammer noises when you're turning it over, like valves kissing pistons?

No weird noise. I sprayed starting fluid and it caught a few times then the battery died.

So the problem lies within the induction system. I know nothing about the V6 fuel ejection system, but have always wondered what one might look like with triple Webers on it?

The manual ejection method is just to pour it on the ground . . . . . seems like overkill to create a system for that. :mrgreen:

I'm not interested in buying, but if it's a matter of someone wanting and needing it trailered, my labor is real cheap for a Z. Gas might cost you. I can load a dead car up to 5,000 lbs.

Could be but the gas is probably 10 years old.

Any pictures of this beast might help sell it. Which wheels does it have? And it's an automatic, right?
