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.
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.
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.
Porsche’s first-ever production model, the 356 was a lightweight and nippy sports car that debuted in 1948. Coming in at just under 158 inches long and a smidge over 65 inches wide, it was a truly compact thing that could easily be threaded along narrow roads. It sported an air-cooled flat-four engine in the tail, and wasn’t that much of a departure from the Volkwagen Beetle. No surprise, since Ferdinand Porsche had a hand in the Beetle’s development too. Over 76,000 original 356s were made, but far fewer survive today. That means if you want an original car in reasonable condition, you’ve got to be prepared to pay top-dollar for it. Thankfully, the replica market has you covered, with gems such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster 1600 Super Replica. Built by Vintage Speedsters and assembled in 2008, this car is up for sale with a mere 9,300 miles on the odometer. It originally started it's life as a 1974 Volkswagen. So, why not buy it and make it your weekend toy? It’s a fine thing that will show you the beauty of driving a classic automobile, without the typical headaches that typically come with classic car ownership.
The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).

Ford’s Mustang continues to be a runaway sales hit over sixty years later. The starter of the pony car category, the Mustang could be had as a lovely open-topped cruiser, or a potent V8-packing muscle car scarer. One of the more performance-oriented derivatives was the Mach 1. As you may imagine, this was peak Jet Age era, and supersonic travel was an intriguing concept. While your road-going Mustang Mach 1 certainly couldn’t touch the speed of sound or get anywhere near it, it sure was a nice tag to have. Furthermore, the Mach 1 came with a host of cosmetic and performance enhancements. If you’re interested in owning a first-generation Mach 1, here’s a 112,334-mile 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 up for sale. The car has received recent servicing as well.
Named after the graceful African antelope, the Chevy Impala has been a full-size and midsize nameplate in the Bowtie’s hierarchy for years. It’s been intermittently seen between 1957 and 2020.

Meanwhile, this car is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible, with all information as reported by the current owner. We’re told that it’s got plenty of upgrades and enhancements, so let’s learn more.
