This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was manufactured by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, California, and it is powered by a 2,276cc flat-four paired with a four-speed Freeway Flyer manual transaxle and is finished in silver over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes a black soft top, side curtains, a single-grille decklid, chrome-finished 15″ wheels, front disc brakes, a Kenwood CD stereo, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.
