View the pictures VERY CAREFULLY, the pictures are very much part of the description! You will receive exactly what is in the pics, no more no less! If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask, but do so BEFORE bidding! I'll answer your questions the best I can. I am experienced with the Z32.

Ok, down to the Good, Bad, and the Very Ugly!!! READ &UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BIDDING!!

COSMETICS:
I'll open this listing with the Bad & Very Ugly first!! Cosmetically, this car is rougher than a night at Riker's!! I took it in trade on another Z32 I had probably around 2016. I had no plans on doing anything with it....and before I know it, 8 years has gone by. It's a shame for it to just sit any longer and rot away; this car has very good bones! Give it a new home and new lease on life!! It has the making of a great restoration, track build, LS Swap, or whatever you can think of! It's a blank slate! However, I won't gloss over the ugly or try and sugar coat it! The interior is rough. Paint is rough. The windshield is cracked, the rest of the glass is good. I nabbed the headlights years ago for another car, so they are not included....but they're still easy to find. If I dig through my parts inventory, I could probably scare up another set, but I will not promise this. The wheels I are off of a 240SX with matching tires, but the tires have some dry rot.

DRIVETRAIN (things are starting to get better):
The car does run, but it does not run well. The engine doesn't make any scary noises; infact it sounds very solid. It just has the classic Z32 bad injector miss....it's probably running on 4 or 5 cylinders. Someone converted it to Phase 2 (new style) injectors and didn't do the best job splicing the new plugs. I wouldn't plan on driving it anywhere until it's been serviced, but it could limp itself onto your car hauler under its own steam. I do not know when the timing belt was last done. Transmission is automatic; goes into Reverse & Drive without issues. No error codes and does shift, although that was just driving it around the yard. The engine at a warm idle does what it should as far as engine temp & oil pressure. The coolant looks gross....but it wasn't overheating; sat at a constant ~180* according to the gauge and Conzult....but it will definitely need to be part of the servicing as well. The idle fluctuates, due to the miss. Cold oil PSI is ~60. Warm it's ~30; exactly where it's supposed to be. See the pic of the cluster. The exhaust says 'FOCUZ' on the muffler tips, but is something custom using stock piping. The catalytic converters are still on the car. The exhaust actually sounds very nice!! Nice growl and not raspy.

ELECTRICAL:
The only way I can get the car to run is to jumper the fuel pump relay in the left side kick panel. The relay and the controller are good. The relay coil just isn't getting power. This car had some kind of aftermarket alarm on it at some point that has been removed before I got it, I suspect the culprit for this issue is in the wiring related to that alarm system.
As far as I can tell, everything electrical seems to work. The windows work, all the gauges work. The climate controls work. The horn works. The door chime works. I connected my conzult to see if it was throwing any codes, the only code was the infamous code34; detonation sensor. This is very common for these cars, the cause typically is a corroded connector on the sensor. PLEASE NOTE THE BATTERY SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDED!!

BODY:
This is the reason why I'm listing this car instead of just lugging it off to the scrapper. This car spent its entire life in the south. Zero exposure to road salt. There are very good bones here to build with if you want to build a Z32 and start with a great shell! No rust and no collision damage! Look carefully at the engine bay pictures, you'll see the core support & headlight buckets are in beautiful condition. The car is 32 years old, it has a few dings here & there, but as you can see from the pics, it very straight!! You will also note from the underbody pics, there's no rust on the rocker panels & floor pans; which is where these cars like to rot. This car would make a fine restoration project, track car, or just a parts car if that's what you're looking for.

TITLE:
I never titled this car in my name. I do however have a signed open Louisiana title from the previous owner. The previous owner is a friend of mine, I am still in contact with him if needed, but you shouldn't have any trouble titling the car.

Bidding & Buying Terms - READ CAREFULLY!!
Before bidding, get prior permission from whomever you need to get permission from!!!!! Bidding is fun, but when the auction ends, it's time to close the deal. I really don't have the time or desire to hear excuses....let's just get it done! Bidders with zero feedback - contact me prior to bidding or you will be canceled. This vehicle is sold 100% AS-IS WHERE-IS!! There is no warranty expressed or implied!

PAYMENT:
A non-refundable $200 deposit is due within 48hrs of auction end, the balance can be paid in cash upon picking up the car. You may also pay in full via the ebay checkout (if it lets you, IIRC eBay has changed this a little). I will not accept any checks, don't ask....so don't waste your time with the classic 'fake check & transporter scam', this isn't my first rodeo. I also don't need any assistance selling the car...

SHIPPING:
This car is located in Salem, Missouri; which is approximately 100 miles west of Saint Louis and 100 miles east of Springfield, MO....right smack in the middle. Salem, MO is ~20 miles south of Rolla. Highway frontage to the car's location, you don't have to do any off roading or traveling through any crazy 'dueling banjos' areas to get here. This is a commercial location, it's no problem to get a semi in here if you're using an auto transporter. Of course you're more than welcome to just come get it with your pickup & car hauler. I will assist in any way I can with transporting, however all shipping arrangements & costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer!

Again, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!! Thanks for your interest and HAPPY BIDDING!!
