1980 Zink Z-16 Club Formula Ford
Car was run in 2007 East-West Challenge (CenDiv & Great Lakes SCCA). Always ran strong, finished 2nd in points with rookie driver. The car was always a pleasure to drive, behaved well, and is capable of running up front as is. The car is completely race ready. It could be on the track today. I am only selling this car because I quickly became hooked on FF, have already bought a newer FF, and need the garage space. For those not familiar with the Z-16 design, it is probably the most modern design CFF you can find. Inboard rocker front suspension. And the rear of the car un-bolts from the firewall back, similar to more modern cars. This makes the car very easy to work on. Everything on the engine is easily accessible, unlike other full-frame CFF’s. This car can also accommodate larger drivers. There is plenty of room in the cockpit.

I bought this car at the start of last season, and went about replacing any parts that were suspect. All of the items listed below were brand new last season:
All master cylinders
All brake and clutch lines
Calipers rebuilt with all new seals and all new stainless steel pistons
Front hubs
Front bearings
Hyperco springs
Shift linkage joints
Throttle cable
Momo chopped top steering wheel
SPA mirrors
I also had some custom machined sleeves made for the front hub/bearings. These pieces solved some front wheel bearing issues that I had.
