I see that car salesman has another car on ebay that is....well not as he states. First listed as a 260z which it clearly is not. Then calls it a rare 280z lol just look how many 280z were sold in the US not a rare car at all. Why must he bend the truth so much?

Well by Australian / NZ standards the 280z is a rare car.

Why must he bend the truth so much?

 

Well he is a car dealer....

How did you work that one out ???

 

First glance the carbs sit oddly further from the head than usual.  I thought it was an L28 with another manifold.

So sad to see Zeds in that state.... :(

 

I've seen a lot worse than that...

Engines are actually R31 spec, but plenty of good parts on these, including the 5-stud hubs and strong rear-end

for those of us that live under rocks....what is/was a Scarab ? I presume it came with some sort of L series 6...was it like Nissans Zeds equivalent to an A9X  ???

SCARAB were like HSV (AUS) or Tickford (AUS) or Rolf (GER) or AMG (GER) or Perana (SA) (lets see if anyone remembers them?) or what Lotus(UK) used to be. 

 

SCARAB were a US car manufacturer that made some rediculous looking carsin the 30's and some great racecars in the 60's.  They then started taking a standard car and turned it into a fire breathing monster.  In this case it was an S30 with a thumping big Chev V8 in them, alomng with several other engineering and cosmetic upgrades.  Not many were made.  Originals are worth a small fortune, I think there are less than 20 still around, but there are several copies about.

I'm betting Scarab didn't fit the subwoofer
