These cars are built on custom shortened, reconditioned VW chassis with a reinforced steel sub frame. The car is actually titled as a 1969 VW utilizing the vin number of the VW pan used. The hand laid fiberglass body is top quality and workmanship is second to none. Building Replicas since 1995 the builders motto is "Quality over quantity" and I can attest to the high level of quality he is producing. In fact, it was because of this attention to detail and quality that I made the commitment to be a dealer for his product. I am 100% confident that the lucky new owner will be absolutely thrilled with the quality and performance of this car...maybe you!!!? Most people have no idea that this is not an original worth well over $150k and it will be up to you if you want to reveal the secret when you get stopped everywhere you go. I will do my best to provide you with enough large images, a video of the car running and an honest description to help you decide if this is the one for you. Sit back and enjoy!!
This particular build was done in an authentic 1957 color called Ruby Red. It is absolutely stunning and looks a little darker in the shade or at night and has a softer hue in the bright sunlight. The fit and finish most likely exceeds the original. As you will see, this one is equipped with front and rear bumper guards as well as additional driving lights. We went with the Beehive style taillights on this one. The body is adorned with correct badging on the nose, rear and dash. Since this is a BRAND NEW build with under 50 test miles the paint and body are essentially flawless. I always recommend driving these cars top down but of course it also has a brand new canvas soft top in a light tan color. Window inserts are also provided and a matching boot cover when the top is down for a clean, sophisticated look. This one also has the full length tonneu cover.
Complementing the authentic Ruby Red exterior is an equally authentic tan interior. The Speedster seats are very comfortable. Door panels are beautifully customized with closing document pockets and polished door pulls. Matching dash pad and passenger side grab handle. This one also has the parking brake mounted under the dash just like the originals. Period correct VDO gauges with a digital odometer allow the driver to monitor the speed and performance of this air cooled Speedster. Beautiful Wood grain steering wheel with a "P" BRANDED horn button and vintage style turn signals. Retrosound Blue tooth stereo system allows you to play your music and talk on the phone hands free. This Speedster is also optioned with heated seats for both driver and passenger for those of you in cooler climates. Shelf pad behind the front seats. Upgraded Oatmeal German Aquare Weave carpeting throughout and a custom set of Coco mats have been added for that finishing touch. Simply gorgeous interior!!!
Turn the key and let the fun begin!!! As impressed as I was with the cosmetic improvements on these new builds I am equally impressed with the performance these new cars offer. The 1915 cc. is a brand new, fully balanced motor with top quality components from CB Performance. Rated at 110 hp with the dual Kadron carburetors and 8.2:1 compression ratio this motor pulls strong and crisp. I would be happy to provide more technical data on the engine build for those who need it. Transmission is a 4.12 ring and pinion with a .82 4th gear. This combination provides excellent torque and acceleration in 1st-3rd and also allows easy highway cruising at 75 mph. Empi 5 lug 5x205mm 4 wheel disc brakes stop this Speedster precisely with ease. Lets not forget the custom set of high end Polished Aluminum Rudge Styled Knock off wheels we treated this one to wrapped in Pirellli all season P4 tires. Other features include electronic ignition, stock dog house oil cooler and remote 72pass oil cooler with electric fan thermostatically controlled, silver powder coated Vintage 190 Aluminum 5 lug wheels, and more. Great vintage tone from the dual tip exhaust. The undercarriage is also nicely detailed and floorpan protected with a bed liner material to ensure it lasts the test of time. Make sure you watch the video to hear this car start up and running. These cars handle the road beautifully and are an absolute joy to drive. As mentioned this is a BRAND NEW build and has under 50 test miles.
If you have been considering one of these Speedster replicas and do not want to wait for a custom build then don't miss out on this one!!! If this color combination is not for you I would be more than happy to discuss having one custom built for you with your color and options choices. Feel free to call me at 770-359-8400.
