Exterior and Interior
This 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Replica comes finished in an enigmatic black color. The front fascia features Porsche's typical large round headlights flanking the Porsche badged frunk. Lower can be seen two air intakes flanked by turn lights. The side front quarter panels feature a trio of stacked badging with the side mirrors on top of the side fender. The car features a curved design on the way to the back, with the driver's side having a raised headrest. A pair of leather straps secure access to the mid-rear mounted engine, and it opens away from the car. It sits on a set of chrome OEM wheels. A classic pairing is a red interior to the black exterior, which adds class to it. Behind the 3-spoke aluminum and wood-finished steering wheel can be seen a trio of instrument clusters with the speedometer in the middle. The manual gear lever is topped off with a Porsche crest inlaid gear knob. The interior carpeting is also finished in a shade of red.
Engine
Originally the Porsche 550 Spyder was equipped with a 1.5L flat-four engine. This 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Replica comes with a fresh rebuild on the 2165cc engine, including dual Weber IDF carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports that a deep sump flow oil system is installed along the disc brakes on the four corners. The current owner also believes the car is a Beck but needs supporting documentation to establish it.
The Porsche 550 was a mid-engined sports car, available as a coupe and as a spyder, specifically developed and used for racing in the mid-fifties. It won upon debut at the Nurburgring Eifel Race in 1953, a result that would set the tone for the rest of its motorsport career. It was succeeded by the Porsche 718 in 1957, which would also become incredibly successful. 70 years on, they’ve become incredibly sought after, with the most expensive one reportedly selling for over $5 million. But even for those in the tax bracket to invest that kind of money in one of these, there’s one big catch: only 90 were ever made. So, is there an alternative? Well, this replica from Vintage Motorcars of California might be the next best option.
