This gorgeous Seal Gray Metallic 356 Speedster Replica was built by Vintage Motorcars of CA and we sold it brand new a little under a year ago to a couple in Northern California. It still looks like it did the day it was completed and has just under 335 miles on it. As you will see this one really stands out and was ordered nicely loaded up with options including Independent Rear Suspension, E-brake mounted under dash, leather interior, German Square Weave Carpeting, heated seats, driving lights, and more! Great opportunity to scoop up a stunning build that is like new without the wait!
As the exclusive East Coast dealer for Vintage Motorcars of CA I am proud to offer this like new Speedster Replica finished in a beautiful vintage color combination. I have bought and sold used 356 Speedster Replicas, built by various manufacturers , for over 12 years so I have seen quite a few. I can honestly say that the product being put out by Vintage Motorcars of CA is simply notches above what was being produced in the same facility for over 30 years. Everything from Paint and body quality, performance, options, fit and finish and right down to the undercarriage is a notch above!! If you have been considering one of these really cool Speedster replicas you have seen the values of the used ones rise for the past several years. If you appreciate quality you cannot go wrong purchasing this amazingly hand crafted, almost brand new, classic replica.
These cars are built on custom shortened, reconditioned VW chassis with a reinforced steel sub frame. The hand laid fiberglass body is top quality and workmanship is second to none. Building Porsche Replicas since 1995 the builders motto is “Quality over quantity” and I can attest to the high level of quality he is producing. In fact, it was because of this attention to detail and quality that I made the commitment to be a dealer for his product. I am 100% confident that the lucky new owner will be absolutely thrilled with the quality and performance of this car…maybe you!!!? Most people have no idea that this is not an original worth well over $300k and it will be up to you if you want to reveal the secret when you get stopped everywhere you go. I will do my best to provide you with enough large images, a video of the car running and an honest description to help you decide if this is the one for you. Sit back and enjoy!!
This particular build was done in Seal Gray Metallic which is one of the most popular Porsche paint colors and suits this car beautifully. It is absolutely stunning. The fit and finish most likely exceeds the original. As you will see, this one was built with the tear drop tail lights with European amber/red lenses, driving lights, Vintage 190 Wheels with emblem hub caps and all of the Porsche emblems to add to the authenticity. With just under 335 miles the paint and body are basically flawless. I always recommend driving these cars top down but of course it also has a black canvas soft top and window inserts are also provided and a matching boot cover when the top is down for a clean, sophisticated look. As you will see this Seal Gray beauty has an awesome stance and will attract all the attention you can handle.
Complementing the gorgeous Seal Gray Metallic exterior is a luscious Medium Red Leather interior with Light Gray German Square Weave carpeting. The colors really accentuate the beauty of this car and looks even better in person than it shows in the pics. The Speedster seats are very comfortable. Door panels have our custom door pockets with document compartment, the polished door pulls. Matching dash pad and passenger side grab handle. Period correct VDO gauges with a GPS Speedometer and digital odometer allow the driver to monitor the speed and performance of this air cooled Speedster. Beautiful Wood Grain steering wheel with a Porsche horn button and vintage style turn signal lever adds to the authenticity. The e-brake was mounted under the dash like the originals. The original owner added a custom, out of sight, bluetooth stereo unit with professionally mounted speakers under the dash that sounds amazing. This 356 is also optioned with heated seats , and a Vintage Speed Shifter for a crisp, short throw pattern for your driving pleasure. Shelf pad behind the front seats. Custom set of Coco mats have been added for that finishing touch. Simply gorgeous interior!!!
Turn the key and let the fun begin!!! As impressed as I was with the cosmetic improvements on these new builds I am equally impressed with the performance these new cars offer. With just under 335 miles this Speedster runs and drives like a new one. The 2332 cc. is a brand new, fully balanced motor with top quality components from CB Performance.Originally Rated at 125 hp with the dual Kadron carburetors and 8.2:1 compression ratio this motor pulls strong and crisp. I would be happy to provide more technical data on the engine build for those who need it. Transmission is a 3.44 ring and pinion freeway flyer type. This combination provides excellent torque and acceleration in 1st-3rd and also allows easy highway cruising at 75 mph. Empi 5 lug 5x205mm 4 wheel disc brakes stop this Speedster precisely with ease. Handling is superb with the optional IRS Independent Rear Suspension. Other features include electronic ignition, stock dog house oil cooler and remote 72pass oil cooler with electric fan thermostatically controlled, The initial Break in oil change and valve adjustment was just done about 10 miles ago. Polished Vintage 190 Aluminum 5 lug wheels with nipple Emblem hub caps. Great tone from the dual tip exhaust. Be sure to hear it running in the video below. The undercarriage is also nicely detailed and floorpan protected with a bed liner material to ensure it lasts the test of time. Make sure you watch the video to hear this car start up and running. These cars handle the road beautifully and are an absolute joy to drive. Inside the trunk is fully carpeted with matching German Square Weave carpeting.
