This Porsche Speedster is a real attention getter. It’s gleaming two stage white paint, chrome Fuchs wheels, the low cut windshield, and the wide body fender flares say “Look at me.” Additionally the custom stylized interior with its special VDO gauges just enhances this special vehicle’s unique appearance.
The vehicle started its life as a 1974 Volkswagen chassis and engine. The fiberglass custom body was created and produced by Miami Street Beast, manufacturer of custom fiberglass kit replica bodies for such vehicles as the 1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe, 1934 Chevrolet, Shelby Cobra and the 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster.
The car was sold unassembled to the current owner in 2013 by a private owner from Toledo, Ohio. In the following five years, the body was meticulously assembled and painted by American Collision Experts and mechanically assembled and enhanced by Munk’s Motors, both located in Waterford, Michigan. It was completed in 2018 and registered for the road for the first time that year. In addition to the unique wide body, there are a number of other custom touches, including front and rear nerf bars replacing the bumpers, and headlight guards. A Porsche emblem adorns the hood and Porsche 1600 nomenclature is on the trunk lid.
This ultralight vehicle is powered by a dual carburetor VW 1500 cc flat four cylinder engine connected to a five speed manual transmission. The car starts immediately and runs and drives well. It has a nice exhaust rumble and is relatively quick in part due to its small size and light weight. Stopping power is provided by front disk brakes and rear drum brakes. A modern Pioneer radio and speakers complete the interior. The convertible top is in good condition and side curtains bolt into the doors, just like the original Speedster.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own a very unique classic Porsche 356 Speedster replica.
