Vehicle Overview
Ended on Bring a Trailer Auctions : Porsche 356 Speedster Replica by Vintage Speedsters This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was assembled by Vintage Speedsters of Hawaiian Gardens, California, and was acquired by the current owner in 2020. It is powered by an air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four that is linked to a four-speed manual transaxle and fitted with dual EMPI carburetors and a Tri-Mil exhaust. The fiberglass body is finished in Anthracite with a black convertible soft top, boot cover, side curtains, and tonneau cover over Cognac leather upholstery. Additional details include 15? chrome steel wheels, front disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, and a retro-style radio. This Speedster replica is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean California title listing it as a 1964 Volkswagen. The fiberglass body is finished in Anthracite and fitted over a shortened Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Exterior details include a black soft top, boot cover, side curtains, and tonneau cover as well as gold-finished Porsche 1600 Super badging, mesh headlight grilles, driving lights, teardrop taillights, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, a rear luggage rack, and body-color bumpers with impact strips. An additional pair of glass side windows are included in the sale. Chrome 15? steel wheels wear matching hub caps and are mounted with 185/65 Pirelli Four Seasons Plus tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in Cognac leather upholstery that extends to the dashboard pad, door panels, rear parcel shelf, and shifter and parking brake boots. Grey square-weave carpets line the footwells, and additional interior details include air conditioning, latch-and-link lap belts, a wooden shift knob, an adjustable height rearview mirror, and a retro-style radio with Bluetooth capability. The three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel wears a Porsche-crest horn button and frames a central tachometer flanked by a 210-km/h speedometer and a combination gauge for fuel level and oil temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 3,800 kilometers (~2,400 miles), approximately 3k of which have been added under current ownership. The air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four is equipped with an EMPI Kadron-style carburetor kit, an alternator charging system, an oil cooler, and a Tri-Mil Euro Two-Tip exhaust with heater boxes. The oil was changed in June 2024 and the invoice can me viewed in the gallery. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The chassis number 5758734 shown above is consistent with a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle and matches the VIN on the current California title which describes the car as a 1964 Volkswagen.
