The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
Dressed in black which was a fitting color at the time, this 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica sits slightly taller than a typical 356 would because its Porsche-style wheels appear to be draped in P235/60 tall-profile tires. Despite the higher-riding stance, the body of this replica looks very close to the original, and only a few things such as the colored Porsche crests give away the fact that this isn’t an original. We’re told that the convertible soft top of this car is an updated unit and it comes in black to match the body. The interior of this 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica is reportedly new and features red leather upholstery. There’s a wood and chrome steering wheel, a black gear shift knob and some interesting, feline-themed floor mats. You’ve also got a Pyle stereo fitted in the rear of the cabin, driving a set of footwell-mounted speakers. We’re told that the speedometer and tachometer are currently not functioning, but this should be a pretty easy fix.
This 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica is powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. The engine is an air-cooled unit, likely from a Beetle by the looks of it. It’s paired with a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission and spins the rear wheels. We don’t know much about its power output, but suffice to say you’ll have a lot of fun driving this iconic classic replica, even if you barely break the speed limit.
As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.

Porsche’s Cayman is the fixed-head coupe variant of the Boxster two-seat mid-engined sports car by Porsche. Introduced in 2005 with the Boxster’s second generation, the Cayman has become a fine choice for those who want to experience the Porsche lifestyle, but prefer a metal roof over a canvas one. Here, we have a 2014 Porsche Cayman from the third generation of the Boxster/Cayman legacy up for sale in Mechanicsville, Virginia. This example has done just over 23,000 miles and features a fine flat six paired with an automatic transmission for an easy drive.

This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.
