Description
This Porsche 356 Speedster replica is powered by an air-cooled 1,915cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and equipped with CB Performance cylinder heads, Mahle pistons and cylinders, a Kadron-style carburetor kit, and a two-tip exhaust. The fiberglass body is finished in yellow with a tan convertible soft top, boot, and side curtains and features leather hood straps, a rear luggage rack, and body-color bumpers with rub strips, while the interior is trimmed in tan leather and incorporates beige square weave carpeting, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, lap belts, and Coco mats. The fiberglass body is finished in yellow and fitted over a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Exterior details include a tan convertible soft top, boot cover, and side curtains as well as leather hood straps, dual side-view mirrors, teardrop taillights, a single grille decklid, a rear luggage rack, gold-finished Porsche and 1600 Super badging, a reproduction Reutter badge on the left fender, and body-color bumpers with rub strips. There is a crack in the fiberglass bodywork near one of the taillights and a spot of rust on the luggage rack. Chrome 15â?³ steel wheels wear matching hubcaps with Porsche crest logos and are mounted with 185/65 BF Goodrich Advantage T/A tires. Stopping is provided by discs up front and drum brakes out back. The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in tan leather upholstery, which extends to the shifter and parking brake boots, dashboard pad, door panels, and rear parcel shelf. Additional interior elements include beige square-weave carpeting, lap belts, Coco mats, a cabin heater, and an adjustable height rearview mirror. The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a central tachometer flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge for fuel level and oil temperature.
