Scarab removed all Datsun emblems and badges. -
How about some of those real cool stickers that look like bullet holes? All the PT Cruisers in Florida are wearing them this time of year. Tee Hee !! :

Yes, thanks Chris! Perfect fit. Vicky
-
I've seen the Auto-Meter gauges in the Z dash but I don't think they sit back into the panel like the stock gauges. They sit up close on the lip of the opening. Summit should take those back with no problem as long as the package hasn't been opened. Maybe someone with those installed could post us a picture Vicky

Wheel covers yes but I thought the hood vents were the same on the 77 and 78. 77 was the first year the vents were introduced, no? 77 was also the first year for the 5-speed too. Vicky

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

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. -
I'm proud of this site. I'll be uploading more detailed pictures of our new Scarab later which some might call an "anti-Datsun". Some will tell me to take it to the hybridz site I'm sure, but I feel at home here. Vicky

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
