Hey guys! Ive been a member for quite some time, but haven't been on in a while. Unfortunately I had to let the 1985 go (engine seized up). I'm looking at a 1990 2x2, but it seems to have a few minor problems. I found it on Craigslist so I haven't had an opportunity to look at it in person yet. The seller states that it needs a new bush bearing in the shifter in order to find the gears more easily. I know this is an easy fix, but the one I'm more concerned about is the oil pump. I'm not sure if that's what the problem is, but that's what the seller speculates. He said the car drives great and then the oil pressure drops and gets boggy. Does this sound like a pump problem. The body and interior look great. Hes only asking $800. I would definitely love to have a Z again, but does it sound like an easy fix or something worse? Thanks guys, Chris.

 

Oil pressure Dropping?..

Never a good thing.. These cars have problems with the Oil Sender Overheating.. and needing replacement.. so the Oil Issue may or may not be a real issue..

anything you pick up for $800 is a good price.. running or not..

I'd buy it and toss in a New Oil Pressure Sender.. then check the oil pressure again..

Bogging after running for a while.. LOTS of things.. Fuel Pump Issue.. Temp sensor.. You'd just have to chase it down..

For 800 you had better know how to work on cars.. it's 20 years old now..
