This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was built by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, California, in 2010 and was acquired by the current owner on BaT in May 2022. It is powered by a 1,915cc air-cooled flat-four paired with a four-speed manual “Freeway Flyer” transaxle with a 3.88:1 ring and pinion. Finished in Ivory over tan upholstery, the car is equipped with a tan convertible soft top, side curtains, and tonneau cover in addition to mesh headlight stone grilles, 15″ chrome steel wheels, front disc brakes, lap belts, a fire extinguisher, a banjo-style steering wheel, dual carburetors, and electronic ignition. This 356 Speedster replica shows 11k miles and is now offered on dealer consignment in California with a clean Nevada title listing the car as a 2019 ASVE.

The fiberglass body is fitted over a modified Volkswagen chassis and is finished in Ivory with a tan convertible soft top, side curtains, and tonneau cover. Exterior details include gold-finished Porsche Speedster and 1600 Super badging, mesh headlight stone grilles, fender-mounted mirrors, a single grille decklid, a luggage rack, teardrop taillights, and body-color bumpers with rub strips.

The chrome 15″ steel wheels wear matching hubcaps and are mounted with Coker Classic whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in tan upholstery, which extends to the dashboard pad, door panels, shifter and parking brake boots, and rear parcel shelf. Oatmeal square weave carpets line the footwells, and additional interior elements include an adjustable-height rearview mirror, lap belts, a passenger grab handle, and a fire extinguisher.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames a central tachometer flanked by a 130-mph speedometer and a combination gauge with readouts of engine temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 11k miles.

The 1,915cc air-cooled flat-four is equipped with dual EMPI carburetors, an electric fuel pump, electronic ignition, a thermostat-controlled oil cooler, a lightweight flywheel, an Engle W-110 camshaft, and 1.25:1 rockers with swivel foot adjusters.
