Overview of 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster Replica For Sale by Owner

The first mass-produced Porsche to enter the world, the 356 is now one of the German automaker's most coveted classics. Introduced in 1948, it was made until 1965. Designed and engineered with direct involvement from Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, the 356 is a case study to this day as to how a sports car can be exciting without needing triple-digit horsepower figures. Sadly, finding an original Porsche 356 can be difficult, as well as costly. That's why we've got the replica market to thank for vehicles such as this 1957 Porsche 356 1600 Super Speedster. Titled as a 1974 Volkswagen beetle, it originally started off as a Beetle with modifications to the frame and chassis while still keeping the heartbeat and touches from the original donor car as this California-registered car has been made to a very high standard. The car bears just 7,000 original miles, and the current owner reports it to be all stock, with nothing modified from the original donor.

Exterior and Interior

Draped in a peaceful shade of Ivory paint, this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica showcases the timeless lines that make it a cult classic even in 2024. If you're getting faint Volkswagen Beetle hints, that's because Ferdinand Porsche is the man behind the original Beetle as well. It's no surprise that the original 356 shared some parts with the original Volkswagen Beetle; this excellent replica does as well. As it's a speedster, you've got a beautiful brown leather tonneau cover and side windows for some weather protection, but we'd recommend not taking this beauty out in heavy snowfall or torrential rain. The interior of this 2004 Porsche 356 Speedster is done in brown, with two leather seats and a spartan dashboard. You won't find creature comforts such as air conditioning, Apple CarPlay, or even a sound system. Instead, the driver gets a steering wheel, a gear shifter, and three pedals to control the car. Directly ahead is an analog instrument cluster that shows engine revs, road speed, fuel level, and coolant temperature. That's all you need, really.

Engine

This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster comes with it's original Volkswagen 1600cc air-cooled flat-four with twin carburetors, just like some of the original 356's from the 1950s did. Residing peacefully in the car's tail but ever eager to awaken, the engine enjoys dual carburetors and drives the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. It may not be a tire fryer, but this car is surprisingly nimble to drive thanks to its lightweight chassis.

1956 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica

$44,900

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.
