Porsche 356 Speedster Replica by Vintage Speedsters

This Porsche 356 replica was reportedly built by Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens, California, and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024. The car is powered by an air-cooled 1,914cc flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle and fitted with dual Kadron-style carburetors. The body is finished in silver and the interior is trimmed in red upholstery, while additional details include a red convertible soft top, boot cover, tonneau cover, and side curtains as well as 15″ steel wheels, front disc brakes, and a rear luggage rack. This Speedster replica is now offered by the selling dealer with a California title listing it as a 1973 Volkswagen.

The fiberglass bodywork is finished in silver and mounted to a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Exterior details include a red convertible top, boot cover, side curtains, and tonneau cover as well as mesh headlight grilles, a rear luggage rack, a single-grille decklid, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, gold-finished Porsche and 1600 Super badging, and body-color bumpers with overriders and impact strips. Paint chips are shown in up-close images in the gallery below.

Steel 15″ wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Kelly Metric Radial tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in red upholstery, which extends to the rear parcel shelf, dashboard trim, door panels, and parking brake boot. Gray square-weave carpets are protected by Coco mats, and additional interior elements include a heater, door map pockets, lap belts, a height-adjustable rearview mirror.

A banjo-style steering wheel wears a Porsche-crest horn button and fronts VDO instrumentation consisting of a central tachometer, a 200-km/h speedometer, and a combination gauge for fuel level and engine temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 8k kilometers (~5k miles).

The air-cooled 1,914cc flat-four is equipped with dual Kadron-style carburetors, a 009-style distributor, and a Bosch alternator.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. An aftermarket exhaust system has been fitted.

The chassis number 1132936944 shown above is consistent with a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle.
