This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was reportedly completed in January 2023 with a kit produced by Chamonix of Brazil. The car is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four linked with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Aqua Marine Blue Metallic over red leatherette. Equipment includes a tube frame chassis, 15″ Mangels-style wheels, front disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a color-matched helmet fairing, body-color bumpers, mesh headlight grilles, teardrop taillights, and a single grille decklid. This 356 Speedster replica was acquired by the current owner in 2024 and is now offered on dealer consignment with a black canvas convertible top and frame, side curtains, and a clean California title listing the car as a 1961 Volkswagen CV.
The fiberglass bodywork is mounted over a tube frame chassis and is finished in Aqua Marine Blue Metallic. Additional details include a color-matched helmet fairing, body-color bumpers, mesh headlight grilles, teardrop taillights, a single grille decklid, Pegasus fender decals, and Speedster badging. A black canvas convertible top and frame and side curtains are included in the sale.
Black-finished 15″ Mangels-style wheels are mounted with 175/60 Dunlop Sport tires up front and 195/65 RoadX tires out back. Stopping is provided by front disc brakes. The suspension is comprised of a ball joint front end with adjusters and a rear swing axle with adjustable spring plates. Additional equipment includes oil shocks and brake drum covers.
The cockpit features bucket seats upholstered in red leatherette upholstery accompanied by a matching shift boot and door panels with map pockets as well as gray carpeting and a body-color dashboard. Appointments include a rearview mirror and lap belts.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 200-km/h speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 951 kilometers (~591 miles), a handful of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four breathes through dual Solex carburetors and is equipped with electronic ignition and a 12-volt alternator.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. A stainless steel exhaust system is fitted. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
The car is titled to VIN BJ428770, which matches the frame tunnel stamping shown above and is consistent with a Brazilian-market Volkswagen.
