Take a look at the custom cowel induction hood that fits neatly over the air filter. That V8 can breathe freely.

There is very little chrome left on this 280. The Scarab logo looks right at home just behind the front wheel.

5 spoke rims with wider tires, very nice. I like the way the 5mph bumpers tuck into the wheel flairs. Very tough looking.

The louvers and whale tail are nice touches.

A closeup of the Scarab logo. It has breathing holes for the vent below, just like the original logo.

The Scarab is a really unique modification by Brian Morrow's Scarab Products. This is a complete conversion involving the engine (Chevy V8), body, and suspension.

Not a big fan of the color, but it is a good example of the 260Z in near stock condition.

Bill's running without AC, but his smog pump is still attached. The guides for his choke cables (on the rocker cover) looks really cool. Mine is on the left side of the engine, so the bracket is on the air filter.

Installed speaker boxes. Elbow rest. This is an early model 260, without the 5mph bumpers attached. I prefer this model to the later 260Z.

Looks like Bill ditched his late Hitachi SU's for a set of 71 - 72 SU's. A very common conversion from what I hear. Smart move.

The stock set of tools were in great condition too, with an added fire extinguisher.

Leather seats, aftermarket steering wheel. I should get an elbow rest like this one.

A better than stock engine bay. Notice the billet oil cap, the chrome overflow for the radiator, and the superb routing of the fuel lines at the bottom of the picture. Nice thick spark plug wires. Chrome in all the right palces.

Owner: Richard Shelton Club: Z Club of Houston Year: 1972 Model: 240Z Color: Red

Very clean engine bay. Plenty of chrome. Where are your choke cables?

Owner: Daniel J. Tucker Club: No Club Affiliation Year: 1970 Model: 240Z Color: Red

Unique licence plate. Wall to wall carpet.

Very nice work on the body colored piping on the seats. Very clean interior. Is that leather?

Owner: Paul Rodriguez Club: Z Sport (San Antonio) Year: 1977 Model: 280Z Color: Red

Looks like a fresh coat of paint on the engine components. Nice color. Hope Joey get's that dent out of his hood soon.

Owner: Joey Clontz Club: Capital Z of Texas (Austin) Year: 1976 Model: 280Z 2+2 Color: Blue

Thomas put on the licence plate that graced his bumper on the streets of Japan. Another seldom seen site is the grill behind the bumper.
