![]() ![]() I have had 4 lines melted in half or stuck to it. Quite a few vacuum lines run along the backside of the engine, and I have found that they like to melt against the EGR valve. While working on the car over the years, I have found out many things to watch for. I absolutely love the car, and it has been very interesting to work on. I have had a 1993 Z34 Lumina for about 4 years. I know, I'm crazy, but I love the looks and feel of this car. The car's paint is showing its age (spider cracks under the clearcoat), so I'm having it repainted stock white with red camaro style racing stripes. Since I've spent so much money on this car so far, I've decided to keep it since a new car would cost many, many, more thousands of dollars. The car runs great now (it should!) and feels good to drive. Counting my $2200 purchase price I've spent about $6,000+ on this car. Turned out the vacuum nipple on trans was leaking, and once fixed it drops into drive or reverse very smoothly. The car shifted hard going from park to drive or reverse. That repair was a cheap $100 which surprised me. It turned out a vacuum canister in the dash was leaking and was the culprit for the cruise and air vent issue. The cruise control would not hold speed, air vents would cut off when accelerating with a/c on. I replaced all the upper oil seals and valve cover seals. The timing belt broke once, a local mechanic fixed it and it had no valve or head damage as a result. I replaced the ABS sensor drum on the right rear for $800, replaced ABS master pump for another $800. ![]() I was told it was the result of sticky caliper slides common to this model and year. To date, I have spent about $2K just on brake replacements that include rotor replacements (twice), pads where the inside wears and the outside does not (twice). Not likely to be a car that will shoot up in value overnight.I have owned my 1993 white Lumina Z34 automatic for 3 years. The value of this car would depend on who wants one. There is a Z34 offered online for $14,000 and a Dale Earnhardt version is going for $16,000, so there isn’t a lot to go on regarding the Z34. Unfortunately, Lumina’s for the most part are priced as used cars in the low 4-digit range. Everything is said to work as it should except the passenger side window switch is not operating properly. The seller has just replaced the tires and the 3.4-liter Dual Overhead Cam V-6 might chirp the front tires. ![]() A mild detailing and this thing should be ready to go! The front seats have some fuzzy cushions on the bottoms that are likely there for looks and comfort, not to hide anything. The photos provided show a nice exterior and interior, with no issues that seem to need any attention. The seller says it’s never been in an accident, which would mean the paint it likely original. As part of the same family for 25 years, the car has accumulated only 37,000 miles and spent its off time in a nice garage. Presented here is a meticulously-maintained ’94 Lumina Z34, the last of the line and one of just 4,478 made that year. In 1995, the Lumina Z34 was replaced with the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34, so the consolidation thing had come full circle. Color choices were limited to white, red, black, gray, silver, and light blue and the Z34 was similar to the Dale Earnhardt edition which came in black with its own trim details. Add a half-second for the automatic in the 0-60. With the 5-speed, it could do 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 15.0 seconds, and had a top speed (with a limiter) of 130 mph. The Z34 also differently slightly from the stock Lumina in terms of physical appearance, including Z34 striping, a rear spoiler and a louvered hood. It came with a sport suspension package, 210 hp LQ1 V-6 engine (200 if an automatic), five-speed Getrag 284 manual transmission, dual exhaust, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes. ![]() In its second year, Chevy added the high-performance Z34, which was only available in the coupe body style. through 2001, but in other parts of the world for another dozen years. The first two generations would be produced in the U.S. When Chevy introduced the Lumina for 1990, it consolidated their mid-size nameplates, the Celebrity and Monte Carlo. Ikey Heyman has done it again with another great tip! It’s located in Lakeville, Massachusetts and available here on craigslist for $11,500. This 1994 edition of the Z34 has been owned by the same family since 1995 and has been sparingly used during this time. It was called the Z34 and accounted for less than four percent of all of the first-generation Lumina production. But the Lumina could also be had in muscle car form that was pretty potent for its time. It had front-wheel drive and a transversely mounted engine – signs of a changing U.S. For most people, the Chevy Lumina was family car that sold well for GM throughout the 1990s. ![]()
