Are you tired of reserve auctions where the car never sells???
This is not one of them! This car will sell to the highest bidder so GOOD LUCK!
Up for grabs is a '57 model Porsche Speedster Replica by Vintage Speedsters.
This car was a turn-key product built in 1991.
I have owned it since 2003 and have enjoyed driving it in the California weather!
This car gets more compliments than any other classic car I've owned.
The engine is a 1776cc built by Bugformance in 2006 w/ dual Weber 2 Barrel Carbs.
The paint is very recent and in really, really good shape for a driver.
The interior is decent and you can keep it or upgrade to leather if you want in the future.
Tires are in excellent condition as well as brakes.
Reverse sometimes pops out of gear, but I usually keep my hand on it and it's never been a problem.
A 5 speed would be awesome in this car if you can find one.
The chassis is a donor Type 1 VW frame.
Approximately 5,000 miles on the engine since 2006
I've had this car 10 years and have had some great times - Amador, Napa, Healdsburg, Mendocino, San Francisco, Reno, etc.
Car shows, drive-in movies, wine tasting, and country drives.
Now it's time for it to find another adventure partner.
Feel free to send in any questions.
BTW - The car is title as a 1963 VW, registration just renewed in August.

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
