What is a car like this really worth? What would be a fair price? $30,000?
What is the price of a hemi 'cuda?
I know it is serial #1 but...............

Price of a hemicuda depends, highest I've heard of was 2.5 mil for a 1 of 1 car. Rest of em aren't anywhere near that high. This? I don't think 300 is gonna happen when you build your own for much less and have it exactly like you want it.
But I'm not a collecter, as my brain functions and I can think of stuff like that.

okay, maybe not a hemi 'cuda - but $300,000 can get you something sweet?

thats a tough sale - you have to be a big time fan of them and want the number 1 to roll off to pay that kind of money.

I wouldn't pay that much for it. Granted, I'm not as well versed in early Nissan/Datsun history as I probably should be, but it seems overpriced. Collectible? Absolutely, 300k? Nope. I can buy nearly anything I want at that price.

Scarab? Who?
While it may be collectible and it's definitely rare, for it to be valuable it needs to have a bunch of people with money wanting it. Hard to say if this car will qualify.
This is likely just a first pass to gauge interest in the car and develope a more realistic value.

Maybe if it was still 2007.

knock a zero off of it and it would only be slightly overpriced.

Cool piece of history.
I'd pay $10k for it, which is about double what I'd pay for any other V8-swapped 240Z.

More likely: 300 thousand dollar cars, with 5 of them running.

I would say that it's worth a few thousand less than a stock Z in similar condition.
At least to me...

Man, I haven't seen an original Scarab in years!
Thought most suffered the same fate as most Z-cars or Datsuns in general - rust. Those things ruled the freeways around San Diego and LA in their day. Known as Pantera beaters. I grew up in SoCal and came of age when these were coming out. At 16, I dreamed of driving one of these up and down the LA freeways passing everything. 
It's the documentation that will make this worth $$. Whether $300k is another question, definately over 6 digits to a collector though. The rest of us will just have to build our own.
