Unborn Scarab already challenged
What an awesome ride the Mullin Scarab (March 22) would be. A couple of years ago I got the itch to build a hot roadster, but I didn't want a Cobra. I discovered through an AutoWeek article the '58 (Chuck) Beck "Knobbly'' Lister. Fiberglass body on a four-inch tube frame, C4 suspension and a 350-hp fuel-injected Chevy crate motor created one sweet 1800-pound roadster. I can't wait to go up against the new Scarab. Retro style with modern mechanicals rules!
