1957 Porsche 356a Speedster Repica on 2040-cars
US $22,700.00
Year:1957
Mileage:20067
Location:
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
This is a garage kept, 1957 Porsche 356A
speedster replica. It was factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of Hawaiian
Gardens California, in 2000. The odometer on this vehicle is metric, at 20,091
kilometers or approximately 12400 miles. I have owned this car for five years
and conducted routine maintenance, as well as many mechanical and cosmetic
upgrades; most notably, improved paint, brakes and exhaust. This car is driven
routinely, but only in optimal conditions, approximately once a week, on days
off, with good weather. I will provide a full maintenance history for whom ever
purchases this car. Scheduled maintenance was conducted
routinely every 3000 miles like clockwork. The engine is spotless, with no grease or oil spills. The oil in the case is clear, clean and near translucent.
Power Plant: 1600 cc air cooled, Volkswagen engine, with dual carbs which produce about 90 HP (an original Porsche 356 would only produce about 75 HP ), with a 4-speed manual transmission. Unlike the originals, this car possesses a beefed up suspension, 12 volt electrical (as opposed to 6 volt) and disc brakes. It is reliable, safe and fun to drive. New upgraded wooden Nardi steering wheel, driving lights, mesh stone guards, Authentic Badging (from Stoddard), Original Porsche Crested Super Hub Caps (from Stoddard), with leather rally hood straps that mimic James Dean’s “Lil Bastard” 550S. The total value for the fore mentioned upgrades is at $2600 installed, with an additional $2200 for the improved paint and clear coat. The convertible
top is in average condition and hardly used. Some wear is apparent, and one snap is broken. If you anticipate using the top
routinely, I would replace it at some point, but it is not urgent and is fully
functional. As there is some wear on it, and the rest of the car is pristine,
the wear on the top becomes noticeable to an observant eye, but not obvious.
(see photos) The previous owner had never used the convertible top, and I have
never taken it out in the rain. Effectively, I put the top up for the photos to
show the completeness of the car. It has upgraded canvas side curtains, as opposed to Vinyl,
as well as an 8 ply, water proof cover, black leatherette interior with the
original coco-mats and authentic, period correct, seat belts ordered from Stoddard Air Cooled
Porsche. It is very difficult to tell this car apart from the originals. I
have inadvertently fooled Porsche owners at shows.I have
priced this car to sell at $22700.00, well below similar vehicles with fewer
upgrades. The gear box works fantastically,
with no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and
strong. It’s just a fantastic car to drive, and a magnet for attention. It is
not uncommon for people to stop and take photos of her. I cruise @ 70mph
without any problems. She can go faster, but it’s more fun to cruise. You don’t
have to get there first, but you will look better than everyone else upon your
arrival. Very fun to valet. This vehicle is represented as accurately as possible. Potential buyers, please feel free to ask any further questions or make photo requests not included in the ad. This vehicle does ship world-wide at the cost of the buyer. If need be, I can walk you through the shipping process. Financing is easy to arrange through JJ Best. They finance exotics and classics.

Porsche planning something track-focused for Geneva [w/poll]
Thu, Feb 26 2015At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Porsche has confirmed that it will be showcasing two potentially exciting new models: One is the new Cayman GT4 we've already seen, but we don't know what the other will be just yet. All the German automaker is saying at the moment is that, "the second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack" and that "this vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports." Given those two statements, we can probably rule out a crossover or sedan at one end of the spectrum or a purely competition-spec racer at the other. The likelihood is, then, that Porsche's surprise for Geneva will be the new 911 GT3 RS. But then it could be the Boxster-based convertible counterpart to the Cayman GT4 (whether dubbed Boxster GT4, Boxster Spyder or something else), or even a track-tuned version of the 918 Spyder to take on the McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX K. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but you're welcome to read the press release below and tell us what you think Zuffenhausen has in store for us at the Swiss expo this year. Double world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show 2015 Porsche shows two new high-performance cars for the first time Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is celebrating the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Clocking a lap time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the Nurburgring, the new entry-level model makes a great debut. The second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack. The world premiere will take place during the Porsche press conference at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva at 11:30 (CET) on March 3, 2015. A live webcast will be available in German and English on: http://porsche.gomexlive.com/. This vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage to make a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports. These two premieres continue Porsche's tradition of presenting motorsport highlights at the spring car show on the shores of Lake Geneva. The 911 GT3, 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid all celebrated their debuts in Geneva in recent years.
Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
