Book is very good, Alot of pictures, Color,B&W,History. Book is expensive, and rare,out of print as of this writing,as a paperback version was canceled by MBI. Sheds light on the Car and it's creator, And The place where it was built, which later was taken over/purchased by shelby.

Great book on these Great Chevy Powered Cars.(Most were, with a offy here, and a olds there,mostly Chevy if not GM powered) And it was ALL-AMERICAN not a Anglo-American Hybrid(AC COBRA).

This is the definitive history of the Scarab sports racing cars of the late 50's and early 60's. It has a large number of photographs which will document the marque. Especially helpful in gaining an understanding of the mechanical variations and configurations of the early cars.

I was always thrilled with the Scarab. As a kid, I used to see them race at Riverside, Pomona, Santa Barbara.I bought a used copy in 2002 and along the way, I have had the privilege of meeting and getting autographs of many of the drivers from that historical era. The book is one of my most treasured possessions. That should say it all.
