Vehicle Description
The Porsche 550 Spyder is quite possibly the most recognizable
competition-based car produced. Actively participating in the
European and US Championships as early as 1953 to 1965, the 550
variants recorded an astounding 95 overall victories along 75 class
wins in 370 starts. Its low, wide stance along with impressive
power to weight, the 550 Spyder dominated against more powerful
cars above its class. Actor / Driver James Dean affectionately
described the car as "The Giant Killer". Today, the cars popularity
far outweighs its production and as a result, companies such as
"Beck Development" continue to build high quality replicas to meet
the continuing demand for the legendary sports car.
The Beck 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder offered here is car #146 from
Beck. It is presented in Cream Yellow over red interior. The car is
powered by a spirited 1915 cc 4 Cylinder engine, 4 speed
transmission and rear wheel drive. It features dual carbs, 4-wheel
disc brakes with drilled rotors, custom header exhaust, bucket
seats, Nardi steering wheel, Coco Mats, wood shift knob and VDO
gauges.
It has been driven just 5397 miles, kept in a private collection
and remains in wonderful condition. Mechanically, the car starts
with no issue, sounds awesome and is a complete blast to drive. The
car provides the perfect balance of power and balance.
