This eye catching. truly vintage. 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is an absolute blast to drive and has been barely broken in with just 2350 miles!!  That's correct. I did say Replica. but not just any replica. this Speedster was hand built by Vintage Speedsters out of California. the #1 builder of Porsche Speedster Replicas.  They are a California company that has built 90% of all of the Porsche Speedster replicas on the market and their quality is top notch! Vintage Speedsters uses a custom built. jig welded 2×4″ 11 gauge steel frame. This rigid new structure retains the original VW pan designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and integrates the largest frame possible. In addition the steering wheel is offset slightly just as it was in the original Speedster. While the original Speedsters are certainly a rare breed. these Vintage Speedster replicas are rare in their own right with roughly only 3000 built.     This particular black beauty was built in 2011 and was sold to a gentleman in Oklahoma who had a bit of a car collection.  After 3 years of ownership he only put about 1500 miles on it and decided to let it go. Another car enthusiast in Minnesota bought it and owned it for the past 2 years. Stored in a climate controlled building throughout the long winter he also barely drove the car accumulating only an additional 800 miles.  With limited space and the itch for a '66 Corvette the guy decided to let someone else enjoy it. maybe you!!!? I have now owned 10 of these Porsche Speedster Replicas. 9 of which have been built by Vintage Speedster and 1 from Beck. I have grown extremely fond of these little cars and my personal preference are the Vintage Speedsters. I am 6 ft. tall and find the Beck to be best suited for folks smaller than me.  Fit and finish on both is outstanding. I recently sold a Vintage Speedster to a very well connected car guru in Florida who told me that when he drove it to a meeting place with a bunch of his car buddies. some of whom are Porsche Enthusiasts. they all thought it was a real 356 and were shocked when he told them it was a replica. He loved the fact that for a fraction of the price he could get out and enjoy the car without worrying about it.  These Vintage Speedsters also really drive out great and handle the road wonderfully. This would definitely be a great addition to any car guy or gals collection. or perfect for someone looking for a truly unique sports car investment that can be driven anywhere as well as taken to the car shows and cruise-ins. I will do my best to provide enough large images and a video of the car running to help you decide if this beauty should be in your garage! As with all of our cars. I do have this Speedster advertised on several other sites as well as my own. I encourage serious buyers to call me to ask any questions and discussing putting this beauty in your garage before the next car guy or gal scoops it up. I will do my best to provide enough large images to help you decide if this is the one for you. Sit back and enjoy!!  As mentioned the body on this Black Porsche Speedster is in near flawless condition.  With just 2350 miles on it. it has always been pampered and detailed and the paint and body look awesome. Body panel fit is fantastic and the doors on this car open and shut like a new Porsche. Everyone who looks at the car is very impressed by the fit and finish. As you will see in the pictures the paint has great reflection and luster. It was a beautiful sunny day and the curves of the body had the sun dancing so some of the pics may have some white spots which are merely reflections from the sun. I really did not notice any flaws on the body to speak of but lets assume that there may be a rock chip or two I may have missed. All of the chrome trim. badges. and glass look fantastic. In addition to the Speedster emblems a Custom Coachwork badge was added to the fender and  vintage badge was also added to the grille over the engine compartment to add to the authenticity and vintage look. Black is is an original 1957 paint color option and many of the memorable Porsche Speedsters in the movies have been black ( 48 hours and Top Gun both featured black Speedsters).  Although the best way to enjoy this beautiful Speedster is with the top down it is also nice to know that if needed this Speedster also has a deep red convertible top that is easy to put up or down as well as side windows that insert easily and a boot cover that give this car a very clean look when installed.  The Black and deep red is an outstanding color combination that really stands out. The car is actually pretty cool looking even with the top up.  The deep red interior compliments the black exterior beautifully and is also essentially flawless and absolutely beautiful. Simplistic sophistication is the best way to describe the layout of the interior. Very comfortable and supportive bucket seats look like new. There is a rear seat pad but I think it is more like a storage area then a seat. Door panels and carpeting look awesome. Dash is neatly laid out with all of the gauges you need to monitor the performance of the 1600cc dual carb air-cooled engine. All of the gauges. lights and turn signals are working correctly although the tach has been intermittent and we will try to resolve this before it heads off to the next lucky owner. Beautiful period correct ivory colored banjo style steering wheel. If needed this Speedster also has heat for those cool fall drives through the mountains. Nice set of black and red cocoa floor mats finish out the interior. Just a beautifully designed interior that looks just like the real deal and in close to new condition…This is the tenth Vintage Speedster I have owned so I knew what to expect when this one arrived. However. when I got my first one I have to admit I was a little skeptical about how much fun it would be to drive. Well. after driving the first one I was immediately a fan…With just 2150 miles on this one. it drives as good as any of the previous ones and I continue to be a huge fan!!! I have driven plenty of high horsepower muscle cars. newer Corvettes. BMW’s and Porsches but these little Speedsters have truly won me over!! It has a serious fun factor to it unlike anything else. This Speedster has just under 9080 miles on the 1600cc. dual carb air cooled Volkswagen motor and the engine compartment is clean as a whistle. The previous owner was not happy with the empi carburetors so he upgraded to a great set of weber carburetors that he found much easier to tune.  This particular speedster also has the upgraded 3:88 freeway flyer 4-speed transmission shifts smoothly and takes this little roadster up to speed quickly with no problem and sounds great doing it! Upgraded front disc brakes feel great and stopping is a breeze in this lightweight roadster. This little roadster really handles the road well and to me feels like a Porsche 911 on the road. Maintenance is cheap and easy on this car and any foreign car mechanic should be able to do a valve adjustment and tune up every 3-4. 00 Miles to keep it running great. As you have probably noticed the wheels on this one have been painted in a deep red which really give this car a vintage look. Some people call it an outlaw look or style and the wheels are the wider 5 lug wheels and actually look pretty cool without any hub caps at all. However I love the look with the chrome Porsche badged hub caps. This Speedster has high end set of Pirelli P4 tires that are like new and provide great traction in all conditions.  Oil was recently changed and this Speedster is dialed in and  ready to roll the minute it hits your driveway! There is nothing this car needs but you in the drivers seat!!! Undercarriage looks great! Plenty of storage in the front trunk area so go ahead and take that weekend trip to the mountains or the beach…this will be the ride of your life. Make sure you leave a little extra time for all the questions and conversations you will have with folks who stop you. Hopefully you agree that this is just an awesome looking little Speedster Replica. It is in amazing condition and is an absolute blast to drive. People will be stopping you left and right asking you what it is or wondering if it is an original…. that will be up to you to tell them…believe me it is hard to tell!  This is truly a sun in your face. wind in your hair. super fun roadster that you can drive and enjoy and take to the shows and cruise-ins. It is Titled as a 1967 Volkswagen which is what the floor pan came from and is how Vintage Speedster registers the cars they build. It has a valid title that will be transferred to the next lucky owner.   Don’t let this one pass you by… Don’t you deserve it??
