    Default What is this?

    Hi just bought this. Anybody know what it is? There is no log book nor is there any numbers on the frame. The gentleman I bought it from had bought it from a barn find. The person said it sat for 20+ years

    Take some pictures of the frame, front back, sides. look at the base of the roll bar for Numbers. look carefully to see if the roll bar has been changed "raised up" by putting in a new one and losing the numbers. Good luck with your quest

    Not even close.

    It looks like some one started to copy a Z12 but it is not something that I or Zink ever built.

    After seeing more detailed pics, I completely agree with Steve.

    At some point a while ago, someone took some various ideas from various cars and built this car.

    What are your plans with it? This car will need a fair amount of labor and money to get it back on the track. Likely to be more than just buying a ready car.

    The rear bell crank system is probably mine. But I sold over 100 of those kits for various cars.
