Wonder if they'd sell the whole car they have to rare as hell!! I've only seen 1 in the past 5 years and 2 older grand prixs with a 5 speed hey pad what year is she, and that would have the 3.4 dohc correct there is one just like it only red and an auto 7 miles from me in a junkyard but it's rotted out underneath pretty bad

In most states you can not buy complete cars from salvage yards... It's there for a reason, so it's junk! If you lok at the pic, you'll see that someone wanted $650 for it before junking it which means nobody was even willing to offer more than scrap price for it... It is what it is, just a parts car... Though rare, like you've heard before, it's not worth anything! Yes, it's a DOHC 3.4, all Z34's are.


Yum! Nice car, but it just shows ya how worthless these things are...

I figured I'd add to this and show the 1991 GTP 5 speed I stumbled across at the salvage yard earlier today! The H.U.D. is pretty rad! Anyone needs parts??? ;)

I hate when people junk these cars, they are so hard to find now because of it but whatever u guess you outta get the emblems gently off that car I took the trunk one when I worked for the salvage yard I told you about, wish I had the money i'd buy the whole setup engine harness, engine and tranny to have when I do find one in nice shape like an se and clone it

I like those cars except the plastic fantastic feeling.. Maybe if the interior would be covered in nice leather and stitching, and make some of that 80's style body cladding go away, paint it very dark black... Mmmm

gtz's are rare, and they aint worth crap either, high output quad 4's are rare, and again, they aint worth crap, doesnt mean someone out there doesnt want the car...

What's your point? Yeah, enthusiast want to save every one we see, but not enough to travel more than a couple hours away to do so... I'd love to have a lot of the things I've seen in yards and 99.9% of the time I can't prevent it. So I do the next best thing and save what I can by buying, selling, and shipping parts before they all get crushed.
