wont start help please

a guy I work with sold me his wrecked 91 V-6 camaro today and I attempted to start the car and nothing it cranked but would not start so I decided since I did not here the fuel pump to check for fuel pressure and found there was none I also noticed the anti- theft light on the instrument panel did not light up I am strapped for cash and trying to figure this out the car is not fixable I will just be parting it out but if I could get it started it would save me some cash which I already don`t have because I could drive the car home any idea`s or suggestions on what would maybe get the beast to start would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried some starting fluid. There may be a fuel pump reset switch. If the car was in an accident it probably kicked the switch. Check all your fuses. Where was the car hit at, or where is it damaged at??? Are you sure there is fuel in the car.

there is gas in the car and it was hit on the pass side at the back of the door and hard I checked the fuses and I don`t know if there is a reset switch and if there is I have no idea where it would be at the car is still drivable if I could just get it start it would at least get me back to my house.

Fords had/have a manual reset control for the fuel pump. GMs do not, but you can check the ECM/Fuel Pump fuse just in case the wiring got damaged.
