Just wanted to follow up on this and thank folks for the help. As far as
we could tell this is likely a FF Zink that was converted to FV. Yes I
know, but what can you do? :-) The attachment of the front suspension is
less than elegant. And the entire rear chassis from the rollbar back
unbolts and comes off as a unit, engine, transaxle and all. I have
posted a few shots of the chassis for anyone who cares. You can find
them at:

I bought it, and I will be picking it up in a few weeks. The owner did
take it to a SoCal vintage event recently to show it to the vintage FV
guys and see what they thought of it, and was told they thought it was a
home built. They told him it would be legal in their group if the front
bodywork were altered, but I guess they didn't think much of it. I will
be modifying it to suit my large build, and I will address some other
issues too, like the front suspension attachment. It may never amount to
much of a car, and as big as I am it likely will never be competitive
with me in it, but it looks like it will be fun to fool with. And the
guy knew what he had wasn't much, so the price was very persuasive. So
now I will have two race cars I have neither the time nor the money to
work on. :-)
