Built by Vintage Speedsters

This is the 46th Speedster I've owned. Over the past 10
years, my hobby has been restoring and enhancing Speedsters.
I only deal with Speedsters that were originally built by
Vintage Speedsters or JPS, because they are factory built rather
than home built like CMC and FiberFab Speedsters. As you
compare my car to the others that you see here and on other sites,
you will notice that in addition to very high quality pictures, I
also post a 20 minute video of my wife and I driving the car.
Also, my ad has pictures of the underside of the engine.
There is a reason that nobody else does that!
Replica Speedsters have appreciated in value for the past several
years and significantly more so in 2018.
Due to the sale and relocation of the largest manufacturer of
Speedsters replicas, it has been extremely difficult to order a new
Super Widebody Speedster during the 2018 driving season. In fact,
there has not been a single one built this year and it's
questionable if any new ones will ever be built again.
This has created a high demand and increased prices for low
mileage, Super Widebody Speedsters, because there are far fewer of
them!
***This is a Vintage built Super Widebody
Speedster*** It is the only Super Widebody currently listed
on the Classic Cars website or anywhere else that I am aware
of.
The widebody cars are either Classic Motor Carriages (CMC) or
FiberFab flared Speedsters and they are not the same. There
is a significant difference between the flared fenders on a Vintage
Speedster Super Widebody and all other flared Speedsters, look
closely!!! Many buyers do not realize the difference until after
they have bought a non Vintage Speedster.
Both Classic Motor Carriages (CMC) and FiberFab have been out of
business for many many years and many people are confused by this.
Contact me and I can give you more details.
This Speedster comes with a beautiful Black exterior that looks to
be a mile deep, but add the Black interior and Lecarra steering
wheel and you have the iconic and timeless look that was envisioned
for these cars some 60 years ago.
The amount of attention this car will get can actually be a little
bit embarrassing when everyone is gathered around your car at the
country club and the guy with the six figure Ferrari or Lambo is
almost ignored. You will actually feel sorry for them, especially
when you consider the cost of their cars compared to what you paid
for this classic beauty. It's no BS, just ask any Speedster
owner.
*Fair warning, don't buy this car if you can't handle all the
attention and questions you will get.*
If you're looking for fun and excitement and you like the idea of
"the wind in your hair," but think a motorcycle is too dangerous
or, you already have a motorcycle, but your significant other is
tired of riding on the back and you want something that is just as
exciting, but more comfortable and way more classy, then this car
is for you!
More fun and much more comfortable than a motorcycle, costs less
than some Harleys, you can't fall off of it and there is
NO HELMET REQUIRED!!!
This classic Speedster replica comes with a beautiful Black paint
job and Black interior and was factory built by Vintage Speedsters,
so you know it was done right. This Speedster has only been driven
16,685 miles and has never been driven in the rain. The exterior,
interior, top and side curtains are in excellent, like new
condition. The custom super wide wheels are simply spectacular and
the tires are in very good condition. This car also has an under
the dash Kenwood stereo/CD player, with remote, that sounds
incredible!
The car has mesh headlight stone guards and engine grill badges
that add the finishing touches, but there is more! It also comes
with a luggage rack, leather luggage straps, a vintage suitcase
with vintage travel decals, vintage snow skis and poles. If that
doesn't get you Best of Show at your local car show, I don't know
what will!
This car also comes with super cool, custom made, top down "CruZin
Windows" that almost nobody else has, because I make them myself! I
also sell them separately.
This beautiful Speedster is built on a 1966 VW pan and has current
California registration good until August, 2019. It has a clean
title and is registered as a 1966 VW, with no smog certification
requirements. The engine is a big 1776cc with dual Weber DCNF carbs
and a 4 speed manual 3:88 "Freeway Flyer" transmission. It starts
every time with just a turn of the key, sounds great, pulls well
and runs VERY strong.
When comparing this Speedster with Speedsters from other
manufacturers, pay very close attention to the quality of the
build. Check that the doors, hood and trunk all fit smoothly and
are aligned properly, with no gaps.

Black exterior
Black Allante interior (better than leather)
Black Stafast canvas top with matching side curtains

There are many extras that are not shown in the photos,
including appropriate badges and emblems, but they are included in
the sale. Ask about them.
This Speedster is simply a classic beauty, it turns heads and gets
thumbs-up everywhere it goes and is a joy to drive. All you will
need to do with this car is buy it, drive it and build a shelf for
all the trophies you will win when you show it.
I'm always happy to answer questions about owning a Speedster and
can help you find the car you are looking for even if it isn't one
that I am currently selling.
The car is at my home in Fresno, California. My name is Troy
and you can email me at [email protected] or call me at
