    Steve, yes there were a few built based on Datsun [ Nissan ] 240 Z's with an American V8, the Scarab name was previously used by by Lance Reventlow for his Sports Cars in the early 1960's - guess no copyright issues as " Scarab " is a type of Beetle

    Thanks Roger, I knew a little about the Scarabs, just didn't know about the history of this car.

    Not quite sure what these were for. Perhaps PDL II?
