Im selling my 1957 Porsche Speedster California Replica convertible.  Street Beast Kit Built in 2004.   
1973 VW Chassis with independent rear suspension and a 1600CC engine with dual Solex Carbs.  Car also has 4 wheel disc brakes. 

Fiberglass body and no rust. Bought the car originally in Kansas. 2666 miles on the non original speedometer. White convertible top and the side windows are included.

New Stuff:
New Tires and Smoothie style rims with less than 200 miles on them. 
New plugs, wires, coil, condenser and points. Replaced the fuel pump and exhaust system.
The shocks are in great shape and the fluids have been replaced all around. The engine starts up good and could probably use a good carb cleaning. I have the kit and will include it in the sale. 
Blemishes:
Small scuff on the front tip that could probably be buffed out by a trained person (see pictures)
Center convertible top clamp is a little bent but still works. 
Like any kit car the doors could be adjusted a little.  After you open it a few times you will be a pro.
A few scratches here or there but overall very good condition for the body being almost 10 years old.
Speedometer is off by about 20mph. I have seen this before on some replicas. 


The driver seat was moved back farther than the other seat.  It is a nice feature for taller guys and it is still adjustable.
Car loves to rev up and go.  Can cruise at highway speeds no problem.  
Titled as a 2004 VW Beetle but you can have your DMV title it as a 1973 Beetle for collector plates.
Car has CD player and door speakers.

** added side mirrors recently and removed the top for some of the pictures.  you can just remove some snaps and 2 bolts and the top comes right off.

Feel free to email me at timgeisler@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
This car gets more attention than $100k cars at car shows!
Im selling because im saving money for a wedding.  We both love to drive the car!
Fun little car and always gets a few waves while you drive. Perfect for summer, good luck bidding!

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.
