Thought I'd post just a few photos, including the dozen Scarabs in attendance, the largest gathering in history. There were never more than six cars at Scarab Engineering when they were in business. This was special as we reunited Brian Morrow with the very first Scarab he ever produced in late 1973. Brian was unaware the car still existed and after 43 years he saw it for the first time. It's owner had it for 34 of those years and kept it in outstanding condition. Scarabs took four top awards at the 2019 ZCON. I debuted the Scarab book I have been working on for well over two years, after finding and interviewing all the original players. The book is titled, "Resurrecting…

Scarab #160 1 2 3

Thought I would start a thread here as I begin restoration on Scarab #160. I recently purchased the car after seven years chasing it. #160 is built on a 1975 280Z chassis. It has the wide body rear quarters and front fender flairs, I'm told it's one of three "wide body" cars currently listed in the registry. The car is in need of a full restoration and as such will take time. I plan to post updates as the project progresses.

For sale my factory built Scarab Z # 155. This is a true factory car -- one of only 17 known to exist. I have owned this car since 1996. The body and interior was done in 1997. The engine rebuilt in 2003 and the suspension in 2008. This car was built by Scarab in 1979 on a 1972 donor Z. The car has been in northern California all its life and has a good body. Floors are good. There is minor rust on the driver's door and on the rear tailgate finisher (a replacement panel is readily available) This Scarab has a 350 cu.in Chevy "Bow tie" block with angle plug heads, BRE aluminum roller tipped rockers, Edelbrock torker intake with Edelbrock carb. The transmission is a Borg-Wa…

Hello all this is my first post on classiczcars. I wanted to share with all of you the amazing news that we have found an original Scarab. It's car number #157. This car has an amazing amount of history and provenance to it. I have tried to post pics several times but have had no luck. I did post some on hybridz. I have included a link at the bottom of the post for any of you that are interested. We are planning a big time restoration for the car, it deserves it! I know we will have lots of questions throughout the restoration. If any of you that have gone through the restoration and have any input that can help, please let us know. Here is the link to the car over at hy…

Hey guys, The PO(s) cut a lot of the factory wiring in the V8 conversion of my 73 . I'm trying to locate where the tach wiring might have exited the firewall to the engine bay. I'm looking for a BLK/WHT". I think this one would have gone to the positive side of the coil. Thanks for any thoughts. Happy Motoring today!

I own what may have been the final Scarab before the company failed. It is a 1980 ZX started by Brian Morrow but finished after he sold his company. I have all of the ordering paperwork with Brian's signature and letters to and from him. It was started in late 1981 and delivered early 1983. A picture of this car is in Hot Rod magazine February 1983 pg 68 . Needs paint job and slight body work due to some minor rust issues. Does anyone know how to go about finding interested buyers for this car??

I`m really looking forward to receive the Scarab in mid oktober, and thanks to David who make this deal happend. Regards from a happy new Scarab owner Rolf Arne
