Vehicle Description
In the world of vintage cars, we are always on the hunt for
something unique and interesting. So when you see this 1994 Classic
Motor Carriages 359 roadster you already love that everyone perks
up and immediately pays attention. And it only gets better after
you've checked out the affordable price.
As the name suggests, the 359 is the blending of Porsche 356
Speedster silhouette with elements from the 959 coupe. That
includes the headlight design, slotted bumpers, and neatly
integrated rear wing. The 359 is a unique fiberglass creation came
from the mind of Classic Motor Carriages - once one of the world's
largest kit car producers. And while we won't pretend that this
will win you awards with the local Porsche club, if you were
thinking that way, you were already missing the point on this
droptop. After all, it's really the right machine to cruise your
favorite roads on a perfect weather day. You'll love the
wind-in-your-hair experience, and everyone you pass will tell their
friends about the cool design and bold red paint that's now etched
in their minds. There's even a Speedster-style folding roof under
the hard tonneau cover in case you need weather protection.
Inside this one gets right down to business with a pair of sporty
bucket seats. The black carpet, door panels, and dash all have a
nice deep, dark quality of a good sports car. You get all the right
elements for a fun driving experience, including a leather-wrapped
three-spoke sports steering wheel, full VDO gauge package, and the
gearshift that's close enough for spirited performance. There's an
AM/FM/cassette stereo mounted below the dash, which means you can
always create the perfect atmosphere around your roadster.
The 1600 cc VW flat-four lives under the rear deck, and it even has
been dressed nicely with plenty of brightwork. It fires up as
reliably as you know VWs should, and of course, it makes that
unmistakable air-cooled soundtrack. The trusty motor moves the
lightweight roadster with ease, and the four-speed manual
transmission gives you complete control. But the best reason for
having this based on a Beetle is that maintenance is a breeze. You
have an extensive and affordable catalog of repair and performance
parts available. The VW's lively suspension works especially well
with the low-slung roadster bodywork, and the large 17-inch alloys
have new Dunlop performance rubber for excellent grip.
Complete with the original build manual, something so complete,
unique, and affordable doesn't come along every day. That's why if
you enjoy the memorable vehicles, you need to hurry and call today!
VIN # is T000215.
