1967 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica

This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was reportedly built in 2005 by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, California, using a fiberglass body mounted over a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. The car is powered by an air-cooled 1.6L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. It is finished in off-white over beige vinyl upholstery, and additional features include a beige soft top and boot, headlight stone guards, a luggage rack, chrome-finished 15? steel wheels, a Nardi steering wheel, sisal floor mats, retro-style instrumentation, lap belts, and dual Kadron-style carburetors. This Speedster replica is now offered with a tonneau cover, removable side curtains, and a title listing the car as a 1968 Volkswagen. The fiberglass body is mounted over a shortened Volkswagen Beetle chassis and finished in off-white. Exterior details include a beige convertible top and top boot, as well as a rear luggage rack, mesh headlight stone guards, gold-finished badging, fender-mounted mirrors, dual chrome exhaust outlets, and body-color bumpers with polished trim, inset rub strips, and chrome-finished overriders. A tonneau cover and removable side curtains will accompany the car. Chrome-finished 15" steel wheels wear hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Kelly tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The cockpit houses front bucket seats covered in beige upholstery that extends to the rear parcel shelf as well as the parking brake and shifter boots. Additional appointments include a passenger-side grab handle, door map pockets, lap belts, sisal floor mats, and an adjustable rearview mirror. The wood-rimmed Nardi Classic steering wheel frames retro-style instrumentation with green lettering that consists of a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge with readouts for oil temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 4,700 miles, approximately 600 of which have been added under current ownership. Total chassis mileage is unknown. The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four is fed by dual Kadron-style single-barrel carburetors and features a Bosch 12-volt alternator. Service in preparation for the sale included performing an oil change and replacing the distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, and spark plugs and wires. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
