    As a youngboy i went to calvacade of wheels at notre dame. I am not sure what year but they had the zingers there and they blew my young mind. I know they dont drive or run but they are wild. Street- freak. Gasser the only other cars i can remember at that show were all traditional hot rods. Any pics of those old zingers.?or is it to off topic.?

    Moriarity is the official Zinger king.
     
  6. The 57 chev zinger is for sale somewhere on craigslist for cheap...saw it last week
     
  7. I cant remeber the exact price but remember it was still running and driving but had major paint checking and needed replating..so it was priced accordingly..maybe go to search tempest and try to find it..

    Look at the Lloyd in my album. People tell me all the time its reminds them of the Zingers toys they played with as kids.

    Back in the day, models of the Zingers cars and trucks were produced by MPC. The current owners of the molds, Round 2 models, reissued them back in 2010. You'll still often find them at hobby shops or they are still available through Round 2's website. Here's a link to it..... just scroll down to 2010 models and you'll find 8 of them there.http://round2models.com/models/mpc

  24. Good luck with that. Hostess went out of business in November 2012. Not sure if the Zingers are being produced by the takeover brand, yet.
