Teutonic fun without mortgaging your home

-

Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this steel 1957 Porsche 356A 1600 Super Speedster replica. In the seller's hands since 2021, this vehicle is powered by a 1,500cc flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a modern stereo, luggage rack, convertible top with side curtains, and a new pair of carburetors. Finished in green with a tan vinyl interior, this 356A Speedster replica is available now from a private seller and includes service records and a clear Texas title in the seller's name.

The fiberglass body, made by Vintage Speedsters of California, is finished in British Racing Green and features color-matched bumpers, amber fog lights, color-matched side mirrors, tan soft top with side curtains and a luggage rack.

A set of silver wheels with chrome center caps is wrapped in radial tires.

The front bucket seats, rear cargo area and door panels are upholstered in tan vinyl, all complemented by tan carpeting and dash pad. Other notable interior features include a floor-mounted 4-speed manual shifter, hand-operated emergency brake, three-spoke wood and aluminum steering wheel (with manual steering), and modern AM/FM/CD stereo.

A 130-mph speedometer, 6K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located on the dashboard ahead of the driver. Only 150 miles have been added by the seller, marking 3,351 miles total on the odometer, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.

Power is provided by a 1,500cc flat-four from a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle. Fuel delivery comes from a new pair of carburetors. The seller notes that an oil change and other fluids, plus the gas tank, were replaced within the past several months.

This Porsche replica is built on a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Features include a four-wheel independent suspension and manual drum brakes.
