riverstonefly Posted February 28, 2018 Share #13 Posted February 28, 2018 He only has two posts. And I think his avatar is a Porsche. Maybe he was being ironic.Sorry fellas just guess I'm out the loop on what something like this is worth. Yes I've owned many 911's but Ive been searching for a 240 and didn't expect them to bring this kind of $.

They tend to be very rare and one in great shape could bring this kind of money. Early year 240z's are bringing this kind of money and more if they are the right car in the right place... 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/59456-sold-1973-datsun-240z-scarab/?page=2#findComment-543403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 28, 2018 Share #15 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) The Scarab 240Z's are unusual and of higher value than the common 240Z to many people. Especially if they were built by the guy that designed them (I think that's the guy, right, Brian Morrow?).

TimN Posted August 16, 2018 Share #21 Posted August 16, 2018 Without verifiable documentation, this is just another V8 conversion. If I was contemplating paying 43-large for something described as "rare", "original" and "a survivor", I'd expect at least a modicum of documentation and certainly more photos showing the unique features and modifications that make this something other than a good fake. If it was converted by Scarab it's a low option version, no flares, different rear spoiler, etc. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be definitive information on the differences between factory vs. self-converted cars. Caveat emptor, friends. And seller, if you don't like my opinion, that's your issue, not mine.

Ahhh...memories of beating a dent in the shock towers with a small sledge so the 351 Cleveland would fit in to the little Ford Futura engine bay. Good times... It was a barn though, not a shed.

This is the basic problem of "no paperwork". Can't tell where it came from. If you could get even some old letters or find some scribble marks in the engine bay, it would add a lot. Some rednecks do fine work too. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/59456-sold-1973-datsun-240z-scarab/?page=2#findComment-555437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
