For Sale: 1968 Porsche 356 in Mesa, Arizona

Classic Car Addict is excited to present this 1968 Porsche 356 speedster replica for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. Few automobiles have a shape as instantly recognizable as the Porsche 356 Speedster. This 1968 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica captures the unmistakable look and open-air character of the legendary European sports car while utilizing proven Volkswagen-based mechanicals for a fun and approachable driving experience.

Finished in a striking Deep Blue Metallic, this Speedster replica has all the classic visual cues enthusiasts love: beautifully rounded fenders, a low-profile windshield, smooth flowing body lines, compact proportions, and chrome accents throughout. The rich blue finish takes on different tones depending on the lighting and pairs beautifully with the brightwork and polished wheels.

Classic Speedster-Inspired Interior

Step inside and you're greeted by a clean, purposeful cockpit finished in light gray upholstery with contrasting dark gray carpeting.

The low-back bucket seats feature vertical pleated inserts that complement the car's vintage character, while matching upholstery carries through to the door panels and dashboard. Simple period-inspired door hardware and storage pockets help maintain the minimalist appearance expected from a Speedster-style roadster. A handsome wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel provides a classic focal point for the cabin, positioned in front of a traditional round-gauge instrument cluster. A floor-mounted shifter and handbrake further contribute to the straightforward, driver-focused layout. A gray convertible top with matching boot completes the package, allowing the car to look just as attractive with the top stowed as it does when covered.

Volkswagen-Based Air-Cooled Power

At the rear is a Volkswagen-based air-cooled flat-four engine, a combination that has made Speedster replicas popular with enthusiasts for decades thanks to its simplicity, parts availability, and serviceability.

This example features a dual-carburetor setup with individual air cleaners, along with an aftermarket exhaust system featuring heat-wrapped headers. Black engine tin and the traditional centrally positioned cooling system retain the familiar layout of the classic VW air-cooled powerplant. The result is a mechanical package that fits the lightweight, back-to-basics personality of this Speedster replica exceptionally well.

Polished Wheels & Period-Inspired Details

Completing the exterior presentation is a set of polished 5-slot alloy wheels with smooth domed center caps, wrapped in Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires. Their vintage-inspired design works especially well against the Deep Blue Metallic body and gives the car a slightly more aggressive stance without taking away from its classic appearance. Chrome bumpers, exterior mirrors, lighting trim, and other brightwork provide just the right amount of contrast against the deep blue finish.

The Speedster Experience

The appeal of a car like this is simple: lightweight, open-air motoring with one of the most celebrated sports-car designs ever created. Drop the top, settle behind the wood-rimmed steering wheel, fire up the air-cooled flat-four, and this Speedster replica delivers the kind of uncomplicated driving experience that makes a weekend cruise something to look forward to. An original Porsche 356 Speedster has become an exceptionally valuable collector automobile, placing ownership beyond the reach of many enthusiasts. A well-presented replica provides an opportunity to enjoy the iconic styling and spirit of the Speedster while benefiting from the familiarity and accessibility of Volkswagen-based mechanicals.
