Vehicle Description
A common spin on a choice classic, this awesome 356 Speedster mixes
timeless Volkswagen power with a row-it-yourself 4-speed, VW
suspension components and crowd-pleasing aesthetics!
Titled as a 1966 Volkswagen sedan, this outlaw styled roadster
started life as a common people mover. Paraded only weekend miles
since its grand transformation, the car wears a sinuous Vintage
Speedsters fiberglass body that mixes impressive fit and finish
with rich black 2-stage paint. A stainless-trimmed windshield and a
tasteful canvas roof accent that striking pigment. Deleted bumpers,
GT louvered rear decklid, leather hood straps, headlight grills,
and a Spyder fender mirror give the Speedster a killer competition
ready look.
When the original 356 hit the scene, Team Porsche's main focus was
the overall driving experience. And, while most of today's customs
prowl the streets as gassed up super stars, there's something to be
said about prioritizing pleasure over power. Simple and easy to
live with, this roadster's storied 2,110cc boxer engine utilizes
dual carburetors to provide plenty of boisterous performance.
Backing that engine, a tough 4-speed Freeway Flyer overdrive
transmission, upgraded with a billet aluminum short throw shifter,
serves power to the rear wheels via a 3.88 final gear. That power
is countered by a predictable combination of discs and drum brakes.
Blacked out, center exit sport exhaust sounds great. Power meets
the pavement through chrome 15" wheels, which spin new 185/70R15
radial tires. And, fitted with a sturdy front sway bar, this
roadster's fully reconditioned Volkswagen chassis is fully sorted
and ready to hit the road.
One look inside this custom's svelte racy Red interior reveals just
how serious the car's aspirations are when it comes to being
driver-focused. Slim seats stretch tight vinyl under modern lap
belts. In front of those seats, a upholstered dash frames classy,
original-style telemetry. And the driver carves curves through use
of a Momo performance steering wheel, aluminum pedal pads and a
billet aluminum short throw shifter floor shifter.
There simply aren't that many chances to own a unique European
custom. And with its sorted chassis, tough 4-speed and stalwart
engine, this Speedster will certainly provide years of
one-of-a-kind memories! Call us today to make it yours!
