Hi Bill, Welcome to the Family! Where are you guy's located? The reason for asking is my father has our F500 (84 Zink 19 w/ Kawasaki 440) for sale in NC. We also have a Formula Jr. kart for sale with this car as a package as well as everything you could possibly need to go Autocrossing. Both of these cars were campaigned in NC for the last 4 years with excellent results. This Zink has been highly modified from it's original configuration. It now has a 4 Link rear suspension which is a huge improvement from it's original swing arm design. Very fast and very competitive Solo car and I must say the prettiest Zink you'll find. There are pictures of this car on the F500 site (F500.org) under the "User Contributed Images" . This car is actually pictured as the link photo.
We would love to see this team setup go to a family (Father / Son) team who could continue what our family started. We had three generations driving these cars and had a ball ! Kids and Grandkids get older and priorities change. Good luck on your search and if you want to talk about this setup give me a call at 704-747-0661.
