Project Number Two With Jim Bova Back in October of 2001 looking through the Bargainnews (local sell 'whatcha got' paper) I spotted this '87 Soft-top Zook. Emailed the guy and he said he wanted $500 for it but it didn't run and he thinks it has a broken rod. I find out he is in the next town over from me. Well, I never get a chance to get over there as the Holidays approach and kind of just forget about it. While on Christmas shut-down from work I'm again looking at the Bargainnews site and see the Zook is still there. Figure at this point the $500 dollar price is really flexible. Had to run an errand right by the guys house so I go on by and check it out. First thing I notice is it has a aftermarket bumper. So I go to the door and the kid's father tells me he ran it low on oil and the motor is seized. I asked, will he take $300 and he says "O yea". I think he wanted it out of the yard. He pops the hood and there sits a Weber and a Jacobs ignition. The thing had brand new stock tires and Rancho shocks. I figured the parting out value is more than $300. So the next day I get the $300 and give the local garage $55 to tow her home. So the saga of this Zook starts. She has been dubbed Number #2. Follow along as I see where this project goes. It may become my Daughters Zook in a few years or it may end up still being parted in the future if the almost non-existing budget is killed.
