Sweet Find

Well guys while I was at my best friends wedding I was talking to one of his parents friends from boulder about Z's. Well Guess what he has, Any guesses?


Its an original "SCARAB"!!!! Black on black with the four speed and only 14000 original miles. Hes going to send me pics of it when he gets back home. Oh and he also has a 94' Viper RT-10 #34 off the line!!!! So I guess I will be having to make a stop to Denver to test drive them.

yeah the rt-10 was in my opinion the best. A scarab though is harder to find and worth more in the long run with low low miles.

Sorry, a well kept RT-10 is going to be worth more to 'the general public' than an original Scarab in similar condition, even over the long run.

The number of people who would recognize the 'collectibility' of the Scarab is WAY less than the number that would recognize the Viper and the number of people capable of paying for what each is worth is also greater in the Viper community.

Maybe it's just my ignorance, but I always like to one-up the original model:





Hennessey Venom 1000 anyone?
