This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Carrera Replica looks great and runs strong. The car is the very desirable color combination of black with a tan interior with a stylish wood steering wheel. The car is wearing a custom made black vinyl tonneau cover that adds to the cars great looks and wraps nicely around the roll bars and can cover the whole cab or unzip to fit around the driver. The car also came to me with a black vinyl convertible top that can be bolted on with a couple of bolts. I prefer the look of the tonneau and have never needed the top since I don't drive it in the rain. This car is built on a custom welded steel tube frame and I have the full documentation of the build. (The documentation is included in the pictures below.) I've owned a Beck Speedster Replica before and this Classic Motor Carriages Speedster is a much stronger design in my opinion and the car feels much stronger and safer to drive. The engine is a VW and was upgraded to 1835 CCs recently. The engine is fresh with less than a thousand miles on it since the complete rebuild / upgrade to a 1835 at a very reputable VW shop here in Kansas City and should be ready for a new lifetime of miles. (The receipts for the rebuild are included in the pictures below.)

It has an amazing sounding dual exhaust that adds to it's race car looks and dual Weber carburetors to keep that fuel and air coming in as fast as it can breath. Since stopping is just as important as going fast this car has 4 wheel disc brakes with calipers that are zinc dipped just in case you hit a puddle. The transmission is a VW 4 speed and shifts smoothly with a comfortable short throw. Total mileage since it was built in 1987 is only 7600 miles and it is still being started and driven occasionally to keep her running strong and the battery charged. The paint is in great shape and shines beautifully in the sun. The fiberglass body is of the highest quality and very straight and seems much thicker and stronger than the Beck I owned a few years back. 

The car's stance is aggressive and low and the custom chrome wheels with colored Porsche crests are wider and more sporty than the typical speedster wheels. The tires are all brand new with less than 50 miles on them and they are wide and fit right in with the vintage race car look and feel of the entire car. I just replaced all the key suspension components in the last 100 miles and she is riding great. I am a big fan of Porsche and I own and have owned many incredible Porsches including several real 356s and I have to say that I absolutely love driving this car and I fell in love with the fender flares the first time I saw it in person. It gets more attention than any of my six figure cars and you can own this awesome Speedster for around 10% of a real one and actually go out and drive it any time you want to without the $250,000 worth of worries that come along with a real Speedster. You can watch a quick video of the car driving and hear the sound of the engine exhaust note at http://youtu.be/ZipwdXXO2TM

The car is for sale locally as well so I have to reserve the right to end the auction should it sale to a local buyer. I want the new owner to enjoy the car and be as happy as I have been with it, so feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I will do my absolute best to respond quickly. You can email, call or text me. My name is Brant and my mobile number is 913-486-7001.

Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...
