Sleek, lightweight, and an absolutely ton of fun - you usually
expect to pay a lot more for a well-finished Speedster replica, but
this one has the look and the power you want all for an unbeatable
price.
This Speedster replica announces it's something special the moment
it comes into view. Sure, bright red is always a bold way to make
an entrance, but this one is also super-sleek. The fiberglass body
is an almost seamless design. The front end is uncluttered by a
bumper or accessories, so it has the kind of aerodynamics that you
know was always intended. You can just see the how the wind dances
around the headlights - either up the famously low hood or around
the new wide fender flares. No door handles or trim keep the
profile extra sleek, and the sunlight just seems to love to dance
around the curves of the rear. Plus, because the body is so free
from trim, the brightwork stands out even more on places like the
windshield frame, side mirrors, and the large 15-inch wheels. And
while this is meant for open-top motoring, we can't help but love
how the black folding roof helps emphasize the low sporty design of
the low car.
Inside, you get two low-back bucket seats that feel perfect for
racing. There's a roll bar for added bracing, and it also adds to
the competition-ready look of the car. A roadster like this is all
about the driving experience, and like a true Speedster frivolous
weight was discarded. That's why this car's moto should be "no
heat, no radio, no problem." Instead you get a clean dash that
provides you with all the essential gauges. Your hands will love
the classic wood and chrome steering wheel, and you utilize the
accelerator and shifter to dial-in that perfect open road
soundtrack from the air-cooled engine.
The motor is exactly what you want in a sports car like this. The
hardy VW-based flat-four has been enlarged and upgraded. The
consignor states this is a 2200cc engine - something larger than
ever offered a 356. And it has a twin set of dual Dell'orto carbs,
Flame Thrower ignition, and performance exhaust. That gives you
some serious power in a light weight package. And you have complete
control over this mighty motor thanks to the hardy four-speed
manual transmission. There's even the grip of wide modern tires and
front disc brakes.
Speedy looks and speedy components come together on a bold and
sleek roadster. This is a terrific total package offered for quite
a nice price. So don't let this deal slip away. Call today!!!
