This particular build was done in Ivory which was an original Porsche 356 color and it is hard to argue how great this car looks. It is absolutely stunning. The fit and finish most likely exceeds the original. As you will see, this one was built with a bit of a race day look with the drum skin covers and Spyder side view mirror. It will also come with a set of Baby Moon hub caps if you prefer the more traditional look. It has Fluted headlight lenses and the tear drop taillights. The body is adorned with Porsche badging on the nose, rear and dash. With just under 900 miles the paint and body are near flawless. I always recommend driving these cars top down but of course it also has a brand new blue canvas soft top. Window inserts are also provided and a matching boot cover when the top is down for a clean, sophisticated look. This one will also come with a custom fitted car cover.
Complementing the classic Ivory exterior is an equally stunning Blue interior with Oatmeal German Square Weave carpeting. 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. Period correct VDO gauges with a GPS Speedometer and digital odometer allow the driver to monitor the speed and performance of this air cooled Speedster. Beautiful Wood Grain steering wheel with a Porsche horn button and vintage style turn signal lever adds to the authenticity. The e-brake was mounted under the dash like the originals. This 356 is also optioned with heated seats Vintage Speed Shifter for a crisp, short throw pattern for your driving pleasure. Shelf pad behind the front seats. 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. With just under 900 miles this Speedster runs and drives like a new one. The 2332 cc. is a brand new, fully balanced motor with top quality components from CB Performance.Originally Rated at 125 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 3.44 ring and pinion freeway flyer type. 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. Handling is superb with the optional IRS Independent Rear Suspension, front and rear sway bars and Koni shocks. Other features include electronic ignition, stock dog house oil cooler and remote 72pass oil cooler with electric fan thermostatically controlled, The initial Break in oil change was done at about 400 miles. Brushed Aluminum Vintage 190 Aluminum 5 lug wheels with matching drum skin covers give this beauty a bit of a race day look. It will also come with a set of chrome baby moon hub caps for the more traditional look. Great vintage tone from the dual tip exhaust.
