Much like the original 356, this Super Widebody Speedster was built by Vintage Speedsters and is based on a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. It's stated that there have only been two of them built since Vintage Speedsters was sold and moved to Arizona in 2018 making this Super Widebody Speedster the rarest and the most desirable flared Speedster replica on the market. Originally built in California, each vehicle in production is treated with the highest level of care and craftmanship to ensure the customer receives a vehicle that embraces the traditional design.
Notable features of this vintage-inspired Speedster include:
1915cc air-cooled Type 1 Volkswagen engine with big valve heads
""Freeway Flyer"" 4-speed manual transmission
Ferrari Red Paint finish with 3M protective film installed
Camel Allante leatherette interior and Camel Stafast manual convertible top
Billet Interior door handles with Nardi Steering wheel
Custom made ""Cruizin windows"" for top down cruising
A1 Sidewinder header with Magnaflow Exhaust
Front Disc brakes
Adjustable ball joint front suspension, independent rear suspension, and adjustable rear spring plates
AM/FM radio with auxiliary input
Rear luggage rack completed with vintage suitcase and period tennis racquets
Full Toneau cover, tonneau cover and car cover
Porsche's 356 was a hit worldwide, driven by many motorsport icons, including James Deen and Steve McQueen. With such a storied history and almost cult following, many examples of the 356 are still around today, but there is a catch: their prices range from around $100,000 to well over $1 million for pristine examples. Like most people who aren't oil barons, a six to seven-figure price tag is out of reach for a weekend vehicle. Fortunately, there is still an opportunity for you to live out your fantasy of being James Deen with this replica of a 1957 Vintage Speedster Super widebody replica.
If you want to experience what it's like to drive a classic Porsche 356 without mortgaging your house, dust off that leather jacket, break out the aviator glasses, and call Streetside Classics today to check out this 1957 Vintage Speedster Super widebody replica.
