The last of the Scarabs
had a spectacular post-Reventlow career. John Mecom bought the car
from Reventlow and entered it in the 1963 west coast pro races with A.J.
Foyt driving. In 1965 Walt Hansgen drove the car with Chevy power
at the
Riverside
USRRC event.
Hansgen DNF'd at Riverside.
Augie Pabst bought the
car from Mecom and converted it to street
use. As of March, 2005 he still owns the car and occasionally
appears with it at midwest historic events.
