This spectacular 356 Speedster Replica was built by Vintage Motorcars of CA for a customer a little less than a year ago. An unfortunate injury made it difficult for him to get in and drive the car so he asked me to find a new owner to enjoy it…Maybe you?! It still looks like it did the day it was completed and has just under 770 miles on it. As you will see this one really stands out and has a bit of an Outlaw Style to it similar to some of the builds from Rod Emory. It has some great performance upgrades including ported heads, dual weber Carbs, and the A1 Performance center exit exhaust. Very nicely equipped including Air Condtioning, E-brake mounted under dash, GT louvered engine lid, bluetooth stereo, German Square Weave Carpeting, custom painted fuel tank and rhino lined trunk area. Great opportunity to scoop up a beautiful, unique build without the wait and enjoy it right away with the Spring weather in the air.
As the exclusive East Coast dealer for Vintage Motorcars of CA I am proud to offer this like new Speedster Replica finished in a beautiful vintage color combination. I have bought and sold used 356 Speedster Replicas, built by various manufacturers , for over 12 years so I have seen quite a few. I can honestly say that the product being put out by Vintage Motorcars of CA is simply notches above what was being produced in the same facility for over 30 years. Everything from Paint and body quality, performance, options, fit and finish and right down to the undercarriage is a notch above!! If you have been considering one of these really cool Speedster replicas you have seen the values of the used ones rise for the past several years. If you appreciate quality you cannot go wrong purchasing this amazingly hand crafted, almost brand new, classic replica.
This particular build was done in Aquamarine Blue Metallic which was an original 356 color and it is absolutely stunning. The fit and finish most likely exceeds the original. As you will see, this one was built with some very cool features with a bit of an Outlaw styling cue. Body side molding and bumper trim were eliminated for a sleek look. Spyder shine down license plate light, Spyder side view mirror mounted on the fender, mesh headlight guards, Vintage 190 Wheels powder coated in black with drum skins, GT Louvered engine lid, Porsche emblems and the Pegasus decal really set this one apart. With just under 770 miles the paint and body are essentially flawless. I always recommend driving these cars top down but of course it also has a black soft top with window inserts and a navy blue boot cover when the top is down for a clean, sophisticated look. As you will see this Aquamarine Blue beauty has an awesome stance and will attract all the attention you can handle.
Complementing the gorgeous Aquamarine Blue Metallic exterior is an equally stunning Cardinal Red interior accented with dark gray German Square Weave carpeting. The colors really accentuate the beauty of this car. The Speedster seats are very comfortable. a real retro look from the smooth door panels. 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. Custom Momo woodgrain shifter knob really accents the steering wheel beautifully. The e-brake was mounted under the dash like the originals. Retrosound Bluetooth stereo system looks vintage but allows you to use your phone hands free and play your music off your phone. Let’s not forget the ice cold air-conditioning option on this one for you warm climate folks. This 356 is also optioned with heated seats, aluminum race pedals, and a Vintage Speed Shifter for a crisp, short throw pattern for your driving pleasure. It will also come with the Red shelf pad behind the front seats but the owner preferred it without. Custom set of floor mats from Coco mats and a cup holder 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 770 miles this Speedster runs and drives like a new one. The 2332 cc. is a brand new, fully balanced motor with top quality components and built by Pat Downs Performance. The owner went with some performance upgrades including ported heads and dual Weber carburetors with Vintage Speed Air cleaners to increase the horsepower output to 150-160 hp. 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. This set up breathes through the A1 Performance center exit exhaust. Empi 5 lug 5x205mm 4 wheel disc brakes stop this Speedster precisely with ease. 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. Vintage 190 Aluminum 5 lug wheels were powder coated black and have drum skin covers for a race day look. Be sure to hear it running in the video!! The undercarriage is also nicely detailed and floorpan protected with a bed liner material to ensure it lasts the test of time. These cars handle the road beautifully and are an absolute joy to drive. Inside the trunk was customized with a painted fuel tank and rhino lined for a crisp look.
