texis30O Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Should go quick. A lot of car for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Beck Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Why do you cal this a SCARAB? No SCARAB I.D. Tag, no SCARAB Valve Covers, so much changed I don't see a lot of "SCARAB" left. Was it a SCARAB Factory Bulid at one time? Is there a SCARAB Invoice or other documents? The reason I ask - is I know a person that is looking for a real SCARAB. thanks, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Jesus...Carl thanks for reminding me. I didnt realize mentioning the scarab name would cause such distress. The Zcar was originally a California Car that a DOCTOR sent to SCARAB to have modified. Jim McNemar bought the car and it had all those crappy pieces *and I do mean CRAPPY when he bought the car. We jetisoned it all because the valve covers wouldnt clear the rockers we picked. The motor mounts put the engine in a horribly biased position, and the shifter linkage was crap. The bellhousing was the only thing worth keeping and we sold it. The bodywork was custom. If your buyer wants a scarab then this is not the car for him. Sorry for causing you such distress.

texis30O Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 lol @ Mikelly. Seems you have unjustly made a claim to the gods of Bomex and SCARAB parts you must pay...... Seriously this is a nice car. This should sell fast as it is properly sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombarace14 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Took a bunch of pictures, waiting on a nice day to get some walk around video and maybe some driving. I tired to show in the pictures the issues with the paint along with the filler at the the flare that has cracked. The front of the car must have the oldest paint as it fades back out if the car is not kept buffed and waxed. I did not buff the car out to show just that.Items just recently done new ngk -9 heat range racing plugs. new Bosch EV-14 38lb injectors. Filters, oil change done this week.Alignment Mild Street.This car will come with the Laptop and cables to tune the 950. I have yet to take it on many trips mainly due to the gearing. But it is a pile of fun to drive. This car is just shy paint and some WOT throttle tuning short of being a great car. Its had all of the typical metal work done and ready for someone to enjoy it. http://s189.photobucket.com/user/tombarace14/library/73%20Datsun%20240Z%20FOR%20SALE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombarace14 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Got the car buffed and valves adjusted up. Took it to my local cars and coffee last Saturday. Also waiting on a walk around running video to come through on Photobucket. . Edited May 18, 2015 by Tombarace14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevemd24 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 why are your wheel wells cracking, how are they installed? are you a private seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibthekid Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think they are cracking because of earthquakes... Probably because the fiberglass flares were bonded to steel quarter panels, and over time they have "separated" and have cracked the paint, which leads to this condition...it is fairly common.

dirty white boy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I see this is an old ad that has been bumped back up. Is the car still for sale, and if so, how much is it now? I see where you said you were a motivated seller. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
