--Ivory with Red Leather Upholstery, Black Folding soft top. Black
top boot, 1.6 Liter Twin plug Engine, 4 Speed Manual gearbox,
documented 6 year restoration and custom conversion completed in
2019.Starting with a clean 356A Coupe the entire car was completely
disassembled and utilizing combination of steel and aluminum body
panels was converted to Carrera GT Speedster homage. No stone was
left unturned during this process and continued through to the
interior and mechanically. The interior received speedster solid
back buckets, Square weave carpeting, Black rubber mats, red lap
belts, Nardi wooden steering wheel, VDO instruments including a
central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination
gauge monitoring oil temperature and fuel level, Carrera-style twin
ignition coil switches flank the tachometer. Mechanically the
upgrades, again, were plentiful including but not limited to the
following, 1.6-liter flat-four that was rebuilt with a conversion
to twin-plug ignition by Willison Werkstatt and is dressed to
simulate the appearance of a period Carrera GS/GT four-cam engine,
a dual-mount Type 741 four-speed manual transaxle, a front-mounted
oil cooler, a full-flow oil filter, a 356 Enterprises camber
regulator, GT-style 60mm drum brakes, Tecnomagnesio alloy wheels
with Pirelli Cinturato tires and 12 volt conversion.There maybe no
substitute but there are definite tributes that check all the boxes
as this one surely does. Ready for immediate use and enjoyment for
a fraction of the price of a 356 Carrera GT or if one was to
attempt to build one today in the same manner.
