Porsche 356 1600 Speedster Re-Creation

Description for Porsche 356 1963

Offered here is a Porsche 356 1600 Speedster re-creation. Although this is a fiberglass replica it looks just like the real thing and what is most interesting is it has an original 1959 356 1600 super engine (# P 84978) in it which is original down to the carbs and original air cleaners. It also has an original period Abarth exhaust system from the late 1950s specifically for the 356 1600 super engine. The interior was done just like an original speedster and it has a new canvas top done to original specs with the correct shape. It also has 356 Porsche wheels and hubcaps and even the pedals are 356. Another interesting feature of this car is it also has an original 356 gas tank under the hood. It's a very cool car with real 356 parts. As close as you can get to the real thing. The only thing that is not 356 correct are the gauges in the dash which are 911. The body is a Fiberfab, which eventually became Intermechanica. The advantage to the 356 super engine is it sounds and feels like a real 356 super, and yes they sound much different than a VW. A VW engine that has been modified can go fast as well, but has much more potential of breaking and it will never be the real thing. This is a very unique Porsche 356 re-creation that is certainly above the rest with the real 356 Super engine and other components. It runs and drives extremely well and is a lot of fun. It has a California dot vin# and has a clear CT registration. This car is sold as is where is and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
