For Sale: 1955 Porsche Spyder in Rowley, Massachusetts

"Yes, you can drive around town or attack your favorite mountain apexes in a factory-original Porsche 550 Spyder. But for most enthusiasts, it's not as easy as that. An honest-to-Stuttgart Spyder, or one of its several Porsche sports and racing derivatives, is seriously expensive. They're rare, too-yet another reason they're expensive. Bending up that genuine aluminum coachwork would certainly be a big Bad. So, like the Shelby Cobra, the Spyder is one of those cars that makes a lot of sense as a replica."- Motortrend

This Beck 550 Spyder, Beck identification # 550-000-578, showing 25,559 kilometers (15,881 miles) is finished in Silver-Blue fiberglass body over a red leather interior with a black vinyl convertible top. Power for this Spyder is provided by a mid-mounted 2276 cc air cooled flat-four motor mated to a Rancho Performance Pro Drag 4-speed manual transmission which delivers power to the limited slip rear differential.

This flat-four-cylinder motor runs smoothly and provides more than ample power to push this 550 Spyder effortlessly though any S-curve or straight away. The Silver-Blue paint shows well with only minor imperfections (as illustrated in the photographs) and is accented by red fender darts. The removeable drivers fairing with headrest provides a race car appearance.

The interior with fixed bucket seats shows well with only minor wear on the driver's exterior side bolster. The interior of this Beck Spyder is upgraded with VDO gauges, wood steering wheel, and drilled pedals.

This Beck Spyder is running on Vredestein Sprint Classic tires mounted on silver painted steel wheels. The New Hampshire title lists the car as a 1999 Porsche and is badged with a State of Pennsylvania assigned vehicle identification number.
