The example offered is a fine testament to the original Classic Speedster build and quality. Lovingly maintained and sparingly used since built, this car has traveled less than 7,000 miles, and less than 500 miles since we have owned it. It is finished in beautiful black trimmed with red interior and gray carpeting with black honeycomb floor mats with grey trim. .
Porsche produced fewer than 3,000 356 Speedsters total. Originals are harder to find and their prices are soaring into six-figures.
The Classic Speedster come with a dual carb 'Super' engine tuned to about 1850cc (not documented, but as presented to me, and believable when driving). She may not be the prettiest looking motor but she is solid and dependable. The engine originated in a '73 Super Beetle. With the relative feather light curb weight (approx 1585 lbs) of this car, and additional HP, it simply flies. With the near 50/50 weight distribution (46/54 to be exact), the handling is incredible as well. The car was built on the (modified to spec) clean chassis of a 1967 Volkswagen, and is titled (clear Nevada title) as such. This keeps insurance rates incredibly reasonable!
Car was freshly painted on November 1st, 2012 in a Dupont chromabase 2 stage black, it was color sand and polished as you can see in photos. Interior was completely redone, new trunk carpet kit, new side mirror, rearview mirror, tail lights, bumpers, all coming from Vintage Speedster. Engine has been completely gone through by Meyers Volkswagen and Porsche, who has been locally servicing Porches since 1978. The only thing not working on the car is the odometer which as not worked since I purchased the car. I spoke to Hollywood Speedometers and was quoted $120.00 to fix it. Porsche was just fitted with all new Yokohama tires, size 185/60/15, new front disc brakes. All new bushings in the transmission, new clutch cable, new coil. Porsche does not have any windows or top.
Call 702-755-8180 for more information, to discuss, make an appointment to see the car in person, or make an offer on the car. I will consider any reasonable offers but please no low ballers.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Porsche 5 Series fighter may be electric
Wed, May 6 2015We know that Porsche is developing a seventh model range for its lineup thanks to the March announcement from company boss Matthias Muller. The actual identity of this future vehicle remains a mystery, though. Autocar is coming down firmly on the side of the smaller Panamera, codenamed the Pajun, and speculates the new entry might be available in battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell versions based on recent patent filings. Porsche is famous for sticking with the rear-engine layout on the 911 for decades, even as the company moves the powertrain forward in other models. According to Autocar, the EV version of the Pajun might mark a return to these roots. The German brand is reportedly preparing a modified version of Volkswagen Group's MSB platform for the new vehicle. Called eMSB, the setup puts the batteries and electric motors at the back, and each rear wheel would receive power separately to allow for torque vectoring. The system is estimated to generate 420 horsepower, which is on par with the all-wheel-drive Tesla Model S 85D. The fuel cell Pajun would join the lineup later. The Pajun is rumored to take on the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but any luxury EV of that size must count the Tesla Model S as a competitor, too. According to Autocar, the styling takes cues from the Panamera Sport Turismo concept (pictured above) and could launch around 2018. Rumors of Porsche's Tesla-fighter were swirling for months before Muller's announcement, and talk of the Pajun has gone on even longer. Previous reports have suggested the possibility of a 300-mile range and an all-wheel-drive layout with 600 hp. While the actual design has remained ambiguous beyond the potential link to the Panamera, the model was possibly spied last year at the Porsche Design Tower in Florida.
