Yes Ben, Cromodora Turbina wheels. Thanks -
Alot of trophy shops can replicate VIN, door and engine bay plates. We had all the plates remanufactured for the 77..............in Red and silver! Some good shops can exactly match the original stamping also. Call around in your area. FWIW Vicky

Welcome to the site from another female lover of Z cars. The guys here are the best and most friendly bunch of Z nutz on the planet. :classic: Vicky

This in no way helps to install your radio, but Happy Birthday today! :laugh: Vicky
The Scarab was the name chosen by Brian Morrow, the builder of Scarab Automobiles. "Datsun Reborn" was the motto, hence choosing the Scarab meant rebirth and resurrection. The emblem is made of nickel with gold overleaf (sp?).
Hi Ahmed This car actually has dual exhaust and Scarab might have messaged the pan a bit to fit two pipes as close to the stock opening as possible.
Before Scott gets a hold of it.
Welcome to the site Bill:classic: What part of Florida are you from? Scott
We'll be getting more pictures this weekend. The color is called Sebring Silver Mist. All cars are "ours". I'm the one who always wanted a Scarab so this car gets Scott out of buying anniversary presents for the next 10 years. At 375 hp she's quite the sleeper Z. More details and specs this weekend.
It only has 18,777 miles.
From what I've heard it was only on the very early '77 280Z's. Mid year they returned to the flat even deck from the bulkhead to just under the tail light panel. Scott's 77 had that (he changed the deck and lowered it) and the Scarab, yes the Scarab has it also. It looks like this __/ . Sort of like if someone was going to mount speakers there. I don't know, I was just curious as to why the limited run. Another Datsun mystery. Thanks for the replys Vicky
Does anyone know the reason Datsun raised the last 6 inches or so of the rear decks on the early 1977 280Z only? Do you suppose it was to keep things from sliding into the access panel for the tail lights? If so, why would they change design in mid year (77) back to the flat deck. My 1978 had the flat rear deck just like the 240Z. Vicky
Beautiful. Love the contrast between the black, white and tans. Very well done.
The guy that photographed that Z was also on the west coast of Florida to shoot Scott's car just last month. The Z's are suppose to be in an British Magazine called "Japanese Performance". I've tried to find the magazine here in my area at local bookstores but nobody carries it. Vicky
That's Fred Sangalangs car. You can hear it run on that MSA Sounds thread that a member loaded here. So Tom (240ZX) it's now in the "TADPOLE" stage, blunt and roundish in the front and slender towards the rear Fred is a great guy with some different ideas on modifications, leans to the extreme. He also owns that wicked 4 X 4 Z with the shiny V-8. Vicky
Yes I know, I was just being a smart aZZ, hence the rolly laughing faces after my comment. My bad :cheeky: Vicky
Before or after you refurbish your plate, put a layer of clear coat on it. It will protect it from fading. The plate on the 240Z was starting to fade from the Florida sun so the body guy shot it with clear coat and it looks brand new. The 280Z plate was clear coated from day one and has not faded at all. FWIW Vicky
30K for a Delorean?!?! I do believe you can pick one up for under 20K. Know a guy that shows one around here. Bought it off the original owner for 10K.......and it has no rust . Vicky
