This beautiful Beck Speedster replica was originally Built in 2006 and is a very high quality build We actually sold this car to a gentleman in Texas 3 years ago and he recently contacted me to see if I would be interested in buying it back as he had his fun with the car but was purchasing a new toy and needed the room. Of course I jumped at the opportunity as these Speedsters have continued to grow in popularity and with a 3+ year wait from Beck this is a great opportunity for someone to buy a quality build without the wait…maybe you?!. Beck builds their cars on a custom tubular steel chassis and custom seat pans. They do not build their cars using VW pans. This is one of the early Beck Builds at a time when their cars were built in Brazil by Chamonix and final assembly was then done by Beck in Indiana. This particular car started life in Florida and spent time in SC, GA and then Texas so it has always been a Southern car. It is currently Titled as a 2006 ASVE (Assembled Vehicle).In addition to being a classic car dealer I am also a transport broker and can assist in getting the buyer a great rate on Enclosed Transport anywhere in the country. I will do my best to provide enough large images, a video and an honest description to help you decide if this beautiful Beck 356 Speedster replica should be in your garage.
If you are familiar with these awesome Speedster replicas you know how popular they have been and how long the wait time is on a brand new build. Here is a great opportunity to get one without the long wait in an iconic color combination and in beautiful condition. I will include lots of pics, a video so you can hear it running and an honest description to help you decide if this is the one for you. Sit back and enjoy!!
Gorgeous Merlot colored body looks fantastic overall. Overall condition is excellent with some minor paint chips that were touched up along the front nose. Body panel fit is excellent and doors open and shut beautifully. All of the body side molding, and trim looks excellent. This one has a nice set of Marchal Styled Driving lights, mesh headlight grille guards, and a luggage rack waiting for your vintage luggage or picnic basket. As you will see in the pics the paint looks great overall. I noticed 2 small spots on the passenger rear fender where some stones might have kicked up inside the fender well causing some minor spider cracks in the paint that cannot be seen from 10 feet away but I want to point out the bless I see so the buyer will be pleased when the car arrives to his/her garage. This one will definitely get all the attention you can handle and will be a great car for sunny day drives, cruise ins and the local car shows.
While I hope the next lucky owner drives this Speedster with the top down as much as possible it is nice to know this Beck does have a great convertible top with side window inserts that are in great condition as you can see in the pics below.
Complimenting the Merlot Exterior is a beautiful Whiskey Tan interior featuring very comfortable modified Speedster styled seats. There are 3 point seat belts for added safety and a beautiful woodgrain steering wheel. Original styled gauges adorn the simplistic dash. Speedometer and odometer read in Kilometers with current mileage at just over 7900 KM which is just under 5000 miles. Those of you in warmer climates will be happy to know this one does have air conditioning. It also has heat and defrost which is controlled by the knob between the seats. Door panels and carpeting are in great condition and a matching set of Beck carpeted floor mats are included. You will be proud to show off the interior of this Speedster!
Not only does it look great but it also runs and drives extremely well too. Powered by a dual carbureted 1915 cc with approximately 100 hp this Speedster is a blast to drive. Front disc brakes stop this Speedster with ease. Freeway flyer transmission makes this car fun to cruise at highway speeds as well as great acceleration around town. Front trunk has full size spare. Dual exhaust with dual tips sounds great as you can hear in the video. .Front trunk area is carpeted and we do have a matching spare wheel/tire that fits in the front nose area. As you will see in the pics of the undercarriage it is extremely clean and rust free and features Becks tubular frame design with custom pans. This Beck Speedster is turn key ready to drive and enjoy. Or, take it to your local shows and cruise-ins if you can handle the attention!
