1955 Porsche 550

Description for Porsche 550 1955

This is a grown man's go kart. The Beck spyder is known as having the highest quality and this one has many upgrades and meticulous attention to detail. I did drive this car and it is a blast! It literally does feel like a go kart on steroids. Only 1350 pounds performance built motor tight handling and upgraded brakes make this thing handle and accelerate fabulously. The fit and finish is excellent. Has a smooth glossy paint on a hand laid fiberglass body. Has Porsche emblems pop up gas cap and rechromed roll bars. Chrome Porsche wheels on new tires. Beautiful interior. New sport seats and matching red tonneau cover. Porsche style gauges coco mats and deluxe wood wheel and shift knob. Tubular frame is painted gloss black. All new suspension and steering components. 4 wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. Performance built 1915 cc VW engine with dual Dellorto carbs and custom ceramic coated Magnaflow exhaust. It sounds great. This is car #149. There is a waiting list to have one built and you can easily spend over $50000 for a finished car. This one has only 5300 miles and it's ready now. There are $9800 in receipts for improvements the owner made in 2016. This car will get a lot of attention but who cares it's so much fun to drive! 4 wheel disc Chrome wheels Wood shift ball Wood wheel Roll bars Sport seats Coco mats Dual carbs
