1957 Porsche Speedster a one-of-a-kind with a 1966 Chevy Corvair
2.7L turbo that generates 165hp. Car comes with a Clear title as a
0000 SPCN built in 1993, now under SB100, and is smog EXEMPT . The
car sits on a VW Pan. Looking on thesamba.com, the pan/chassis
matches March 1970. The clear title is in my name, and I have been
able to successfully register it. Again, the car is registered
under SB100, so it does NOT need to be smogged. Car was purchased
with a VW motor, but the previous owner didn't think it was enough
HP. Replace the VW engine with this Corvair monster. I have all
documentation of the work performed and engine rebuild. The engine
is matched with a 4 speed VW gear box and a quaife differential.
12k tested/true miles on the corvair engine, 24k miles on the body.
The speedster sits on its performance Motegi racing wheels (aka
Traklite 2), Wilwood disk brakes all around. Fairly new front and
rear tires. Brand new brake pads in the front, and the rear. The
stance is perfect, drop spindles in the front and adjusted torsion
springs in the back (paired with air shocks to adjust rear
stance/handling). I recently added fog lights, LED headlights, and
put better hood straps, electronic choke, and RF horn button. The
remote horn is a custom on-off. The steering wheel has a quick
disconnect, and you can still operate the horn detached from the
steering column. It's an awesome trick, and always gets people
wondering WTF, just like the Corvair engine in the back. I also
added a convertible top and side curtain windows to prepare
yourself for winter driving. It's a low beam convertible frame, so
the car looks chopped with the top up. Car looks good with both the
top down AND top up. You can't say that about all speedsters... The
car gets tons of attention wherever you go with it, and people are
always scratching their heads when they look. Please Note The
