This Porsche 356A coupe replica was manufactured by JPS Motorsports and was acquired by the current owner in 2021. Finished in silver over red upholstery, the car is powered by an air-cooled 2,110cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes dual Weber carburetors, electronic ignition, an A-1 Sidewinder exhaust system, disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels, pop-out rear quarter windows, a single-grille decklid, JPS Speedster-style seats, a cabin heater, power windows, and an Alpine stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. This 356A coupe replica shows 5k miles and is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment, through a BaT Local Partner, with a build specification sheet and a clean California title listing the car as a 1972 Volkswagen.
The fiberglass bodywork is finished in silver over a modified Volkswagen chassis. Exterior details include LED headlight bulbs, door-mounted side mirrors, pop-out rear quarter windows, a single-grille decklid, gold-finished badging, teardrop taillights, and body-color bumpers with rub strips and bright overriders. Close-up photos of chips in the paint are presented in the gallery.
Chrome-finished 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps with Porsche crests and are mounted with Solarus Starfire tires. The car features an independent front and rear suspension, and braking is handled by a dual-circuit master cylinder feeding four-wheel discs.
The JPS Speedster-style fixed-back bucket seats are upholstered in red leather, complemented by color-coordinated vinyl that extends to the dash pad, rear cargo area, and door panels. Appointments include a cabin heater, an analog clock, power windows, retractable three-point seat belts, and a Bluetooth-capable Alpine stereo linked to Alpine speakers.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central 6k-rpm tachometer flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 5k miles.
The air-cooled 2,110cc flat-four features hex-bar throttle linkage, dual carburetors, electronic ignition, a crankcase breather box, and an A-1 Sidewinder exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
