dsommer

Just ran across this thread. I'm David and sold the car to Rolf. I do miss the car but at the same time you move forward. The last owner contacted me about 6 months ago wanting to by the car back. Funny I tried to sell it back to him before I listed it for sale. Currently I am building another V-8 car, a full on project. 1972 with a 383 stroker. It will most likely be for sale as soon as it is completed and tuned. Here are a few pictures of where I am right now with the car (will have G-nose) NOS items: tail lights, front turn signal lenses, door panels, G-nose head light covers. LSD, coil overs, sumped fuel tank, on and on. Well cant post pics will try later. David

Shows the car sold for $8700. http://www.silverauctions.com/auction_carlist.php?id=78&type=2

Not leaving the Z car ranks, just need a 4 seater so I can take the family to car shows. I'm still in the process of building another V-8 car. http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4256&cat=1

No reply from the auction, too bad.

I contacted the auction company and asked them to forward my contact info to the seller to see if he'll get in touch with me to verify the car. Let's keep our fingers crossed and see what happens. David

I used to be a member of this board a while back, just here and there. My name is David Sommer I live in Rogers AR. I have and original Scarab #154 (240Z)and a 73 240 with a 350 chevy. I just posted some pics of the Scarab in the album section under dsommer if anybody is interested. David

Looks Great!!! Is this for the red top? Are you going to be fabbing these or is this a one off for you? I'd be interested in buying one.

Yes the white Scarab above is mine #154. As far as the pics if somebody would like to copy them to the gallery please feel free. The link to the pics shouldn't go away but yeah you never know. So far I've replaced the rear suspension with Tokico Illuminas (adjustables) and Tokico springs. The Scarab springs were sprungs, thus the rear tire was rubbing pretty bad. Since my last post I've aquired the original 14" BBS wheels, gold centers. I'm thinking about refinishing them with out gold though. I can't decide between; black, white or silver. Just not gold ugh, looks u-g-l-y. The last owner is trying to track down the original owner, seems the original Scarab paperwork has been misplaced (shoot). The car did not come with the Scarab valve covers or breather, the window stickers are gone, looks as if some of the glass has been replaced when the car was painted. Still to do is replace the front suspension, ceramic coat the headers and button up an oil leak here and there. The car has a Bow Tie block (thanks Craig S!!!) angle plug heads. I'm eager to pull the oilpan off and check for a few "tweaks" that may or may not be present according to Craig. (silently praying for that 302 forged crank;) I'll try to take some more pictures soon, I got a new camera when the twins (boys!) were born (12-08-05), so you can figure where all my time is currently being spent. Not in the garage working on cars but rather feeding, burping and changing diapers. The car the twins and the wife will all be attending Branson Zfest next month, I'm really excited to show this piece of Z car history to the folks that will be in attendance. goto bransonzfest.com for more info.

Not the best pics (need to take more) but here is Scarab #154 1971 HLS30 12297.

Just wanted to keep this thead alive, I'll be taking delivery of a 1971 Scarab from the second owner this weekend. Car is in excellent condition with all documentation. I will share photos & specs this weekend. Color is white with aftermarket Panasports, Autometer guages, Recaro seats. David
