Porsche 356 Speedster Replica by Vintage Speedsters

This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was reportedly built by Vintage Speedsters, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024. Power comes from a replacement air-cooled 1,915cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and the car is finished in black over red vinyl. Additional equipment includes a black soft top, chrome-finished 15″ wheels, front disc brakes, headlight grilles, a single-grille decklid, a Nardi steering wheel, and dual Weber carburetors. This Speedster replica is now offered by the selling dealer with a black top boot, removable side curtains, and a clean California title that lists the vehicle as a 1972 Volkswagen.

The fiberglass bodywork is finished in black and features a black convertible soft top with a matching boot and side curtains. Additional details include body-color bumpers with chrome accents as well as a left-side mirror, headlight grilles, a single decklid grille, teardrop taillights, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, and Speedster, Porsche, and 1600 Super badging.

Chrome-finished 15″ steel wheels wear matching hubcaps with full-color Porsche-crest centers and are mounted with 165/80 Nexen SB-802 tires. Stopping is provided by front discs and rear drums.

The fixed-back bucket seats are upholstered in red vinyl and complemented by a color-coordinated dash pad that was dyed red under current ownership. Woven Coco floor mats line the footwells, and additional appointments include door map pockets, a wooden shift knob, a height-adjustable rearview mirror, a passenger grab handle, and a gold-finished Porsche dashboard badge.

The Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a central tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline as well as a 130-mph speedometer and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles.

The air-cooled 1,915cc flat-four was installed under previous ownership and breathes through dual Weber carburetors with chrome air-cleaner housings. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle with a 3.88:1 ring and pinion.

The chassis stamping shown above is consistent with a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle.
