Description
This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was reportedly built by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, California, using a fiberglass body mounted over a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. It is powered by an air-cooled flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in blue over brown leather upholstery. Equipment includes 15â?³ chrome steel wheels, dual EMPI carburetors, an electric fuel pump, a Euro two-tip exhaust, lap belts, Coco mats, a 12-volt charging outlet, and a Kenwood CD stereo. The fiberglass body is finished in blue and fitted over a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Exterior details include a tan convertible soft top, boot cover, and side curtains as well as dual side-view mirrors, teardrop taillights, a single grille decklid, gold-finished Porsche and 1600 Super badging, and body-color bumpers with rub strips. Chrome 15â?³ steel wheels wear matching hubcaps and are mounted with wide whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners. The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in brown leather that extends to the dashboard, rear parcel shelf, and door panels, while German square-weave carpets line the cabin and the front trunk. Interior elements include an adjustable height rearview mirror, lap belts, Coco mats, a 12-volt charging outlet, and a Kenwood CD stereo linked to speakers in the door panels. The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a central tachometer flanked by a 130-mph speedometer and a combination gauge for engine temperature and fuel level.
