Vehicle Description
One of Porsche's greatest creations, the 356A Carrera GT! The idea
was to offer a stripped-down coupe utilizing the 550 Spyder's high
performance engine for buyers looking for a weekend racer! Its
lightweight and nimble performance granted amateur racers a great
platform to work with! The idea was an instant success and built
from 1955-1958 with an increase in both displacement and horsepower
with yearly improvements. Owning a Carrera Four Cam powered Porsche
today can be an expense that will drain even the most well-healed
of bank accounts, so having the opportunity to be seated in a
replica will likely be the only alternative for most collectors
today.
Enter JPS Motorsports based in North Hollywood, California, who are
very well established in Porsche 356 Coupe and Speedster replica
production, to bring a Carrera GT Coupe replica to the market! They
produce some of the finest turn-key replicas in the world! Built on
a Type 1 Volkswagen IRS 5-lug chassis made of 120-gauge stamped
steel, the hand laid and steel reinforced fiberglass bodies are
meticulously mated together for a precise fit! Everything fitted to
the car from the brakes, suspension, engine & transmission, wiring,
and interior appointments are all brand new. The finest details are
not left unnoticed, and wait times are often upwards of two
years!
We are very pleased to offer this beautiful constructed 1958
Porsche 356A Carrera GT Outlaw Coupe replica finished in
traditional Porsche GT Silver exterior and Dark Navy Blue interior
fitted with comfortable Carrera Speedster bucket seats with
black/white pepita cloth inserts! At the rear rests a brand new,
performance-tuned 2180cc dual port engine, ported & polished EMPI
fly-cut heads; fully balanced 90.5 mm Mahle pistons & barrels, 82mm
counter-weighted crankshaft, and connecting rods; 110 Engel Scat
cam, dual Weber 44IDF carburetors, lightened flywheel, 200mm Sachs
clutch & cover, full-flow oil system with remote oil filter,
additional external oil cooler, along with a modified single-tuck
center-exit exhaust system that now produces an estimated 150+
horsepower! The former owner had this engine built by a retired
Porsche mechanic to his specifications, along with a brand new
clutch in 2020. The mileage on this engine amounts to only 350
miles.
It delivers power through a 3.88 ring & pinion 4-speed Pro-Street
transmission with Vintage Speed short-throw shifter! Other features

radial tires, front & rear disc brakes with dual master cylinder,

This special ordered vehicle was built in approximately 2017 and
has only 1,363 road miles recorded on the odometer between two
careful owners! It is titled under its chassis year, a 1968
Volkswagen. The level of performance, unique color combination,
comfort, and build quality make this Carrera GT Outlaw Coupe a
terrific buy! Original JPS Motorsports paperwork and build details

such a standout everywhere it goes! Please don't hesitate to call
